Saving the best for last?

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

I think you're right

They’re saving the best system for last.

You just don't sit in a rocking chair, when you've built a revolution.

that's ridiculous

painfully long time to wait

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

I think it is that way every year

I think they always do the N.L. before the A.L., the teams in each division by alphabetical order, and the A.L. West last.

I think so too

but it still sucks.

Who did I forget?

Isn’t it almost time for Dirkatron’s offseason community list?
Or does he wait until after the 40-man roster cut-off date? Dec. 1st?

And I might put Tomas over Max

He really needs to show me something.

The 'whim' factor

Lotsa guys who could be high or low on peepus’ lists, depending on personal tastes, like …

Moscoso
Poveda
Gutierrez
Wieland
Telis
Max
Moreland
Profar
Beavan
Kiker
Boscan
Sardinhas
Beltre

I’m currently hot for Telis.

by shroomer on Nov 2, 2009 2:35 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

I’m up on Tomas too + Profar and Danny G. I’m down on Max and Boscon (he really needs an out pitch if he’s going to get past AA)

Profar at 5 and Telis at 10?

Wow

Seems a bit high on both accounts

I had Ross 6th ...

then I remembered Main and just stuck him in there over Ross. See what you mean, tho’ – in the Boise videos he looked like a AA-player poise-wise. I probably have Profar up high earlier than others will — glove/arm, raw power, speed, Elvis-like charisma.

by shroomer on Nov 2, 2009 4:14 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

my take

Feliz
Smoak
Perez
Scheppers

10 others could fill the next 6 spots.

I have no idea why...

….anyone would put Scheppers ahead of Feliz, Smoak or Perez.

by Adam J. Morris on Nov 3, 2009 8:46 AM CST up reply actions   0 recs

Jason Cole

said he’s thinking of putting him ahead of Smoak and Perez.

That just seems like new-toy syndrome to me

Kinda like what everyone was doing with Main after his AFL performance.

I mean I like Scheppers a ton, but I don’t see how you can put him ahead of Perez. Smoak maybe, but even then…
