I exaggerate, but still.

How many guys are really that much of a difference maker on the basepaths?

I suspect hitting .300 with no power and no walks is a pretty sketchy proposition to count on as he moves on up to a deluxe apt. in the big boy sky.

He has the wheels for CF. True. He better. With no arm and what looks to be a low to mid 700’s OPS, he’ll need to.

I agree though, your Coco analogy is a good one, although I would probably sub Dave Roberts for the comp. He will have pretty good trade value if he keeps on keepin on. But to your last point above to Z, he is the guy I would most want to see traded, b/c I think his value is best served as a rhinestone trade chip.

A useful player, but nothing to get excited about. Hopefully he’ll make a good trade player.

In 629 college at bats, Borbon hit .355 / .394 / .477 with 37 walks and 68 strikeouts. Compare to his stats at Bakersfield and Frisco, where he’s hit a combined .307 / .344 / .403 with 17 walks and 40 strikeouts in 365 at bats. This is a quicky and dirty comparison, but I’d say he’s hit about as well as anyone could have hoped for based on his three years of college performance.

He’s still a useful player because of his range in centerfield, but I think people are being too optimistic about his offensive potential. Sure, there’s always a chance that he could start walking more (even though his 4.7% walk rate this year isn’t much lower than his 5.9% walk rate in college), or he could start showing some signs of power for the first time at age 22. The more likely scenario is that his offensive performance will be batting average dependent. Maybe If he was putting up these numbers as a teenager (such as Carl Crawford, although Borbon has better contact rates than Crawford ever did), then maybe you could make the argument that there was more room for growth.

Font is going to the Feliz of ‘09. Book it.

i think he’s going to be a good pitcher, and has certainly jumped onto the prospect scene but theres no way i could place him above anyone on this list so far

then who do you drop?

I would have some guys in a different order as well, but this system is so stacked (like Melissa Lima stacked) that there just isn’t room for all these guys in the top 10.

He has done nothing to us think he won’t be in Bakersfield sooner rather then later.

Everyone has their own balance of how much they value projection in a player and how much they value their likelihood of reaching that projection. I think Hunter is at best a number 3, but he is very close to being able to achieve that ceiling.

Font scares me a bit. How many flame throwing teenagers have never even made it to AA?
