I think this two per level is a strange requirement. There is no one at AAA who I think is untouchable, whereas I think there are many at the very low levels who are. If forced to choose two, I’d probably agree with you for the most part.

Varying from two, here is what I would do.

MLB: Need to add Kinsler. I think he is a long-term piece that would be very hard to replace, especially from within this organization

AAA: Drop Hurley. I’d like to see him do well in Texas, but he’s hardly untouchable to me.

Same goes for Teagarden, I just want one of our current catchers (Salty, Tea, MaxRam) to be our Catcher of the Future. I don’t care which one.

AA: Agree on those two. Almost have MaxRam as well, but I won’t for the same reason as leaving Tea off above. Though I think MaxRam has more value than Teagarden right now.

A+: I think I’m the only one who is really intrigued by Borbon… but I want to see him come up in Texas. He may be higher than Kiker in my book.

A: Obviously Beltre and Feliz are the highest, as they are two of the top handful of guys in the whole system.

I’ll add the “Not on the field yet” category: Main and Font

MLB: Josh Hamilton & Ian Kinsler

AAA: Eric Hurley & John Mayberry

AA: Chris Davis & Elvis Andrus

High A: Kasey Kiker & Julio Borbon

Low A: Feliz & Beltre.

I don’t think anyone should ever be considered untouchable, especially the guys in AAA.

MLB: Hamilton, Padilla (I just like the guy)

AAA: Teagarden, Madrigal

AA: Andrus, Davis

A+: Kiker, Vallejo

A: Beltre, Castillo

Spokane: Font, Pimentel

AZL: Perez, Boscan

I’m basing my list on guys that you would be hard pressed to get dollar for dollar value on.

MLB: Hamilton (irreplaceable at this point), McCarthy (his value is at its basement right now)

AAA: Mathis (got a feeling he has Doug Davis potential, but wouldn’t get you much in return right now), Hurley (Recent bad history of trading top pitching prospects)

AA: Andrus (only touching potential right now), Madrigal (see Andrus)

A+: Kiker (see Hurley), Vallejo (I feel like if he can continue to hit, he can be a pretty big time player)

A: Feliz and Beltre (no doubt talents)

and thats all.

In time…he will be better than everybody.

sucks, so don’t trade him cause he has no value.

Oh and where is the last member of DVD? Oh yeah he isn’t good either.

MLB: Ham, McCarthy

AAA: Hurley, JMJ (narrowly edging out the consistent Mathis, who’ll see MLB time this year once Padilla’s dealt and/or Ponson regresses)

AA: Max, Davis (tough to overlook Madrigal, strangely easy to overlook Andrus, Harrison)

A+: Whittleman (best eye in the org…have you checked his numbers lately? [not the errors]), Kiker

A: Beaven, Fabio (comical amount of necessary ommissions)

MLB: Josh and Bmac
AAA: Mayberry and Hurley
AA: Max and Chris (easiest to choose)
A+: Kiker and Borbon
A-: Beltre and Beavan

MLB: Ham and Kinz
OKC: Hurley and Madrigal
Frisco: Davis and Andrus
Bakersfield: Kiker and Borbon
Clinton: Beavan and Feliz

MLB: Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler (and Boggs)
AAA: Hurley, Madrigal
AA: Davis, MaxRam
A+: Hunter, Kiker
A: Beavan, Borbon

I am a HUGE Brandon Boggs supporter.

according to nearly every list so far… how important is Hamilton to the Rangers right now and how terrible would our offense be without him?
