Players for OS Full Minors

Re: Players for OS Full Minors

I used to work field security for the Padres and got to know players pretty well from 97-99 so I've been a huge fan since. Even though we don't really spend much or have traditionally the bigger fan base, I'm hopeful Moorad and Hoyer can turn it around. Keep me posted on who to download rosters from and when. I have the game reserved so I'm good to go.

Re: Players for OS Full Minors

Surprised to see so many Padres representing!

Unfortunately, what's been said is true. The glut of talent for SD is going to be in High A this year (Lake Elsinore). That team will be most of the guys from Ft. Wayne last year--and they had the best winning percentage in all of baseball (including MLB) last season--MiLB's team of the year. Glad to see they'll at least be on the roster, albeit not playable in the game until the '11 season. In addition to the usual suspects on that list, be sure to include Zach Herr and Brad Brach--RP and CL, respectively.

A guy I'd like to see get some love is Matt Clark. He's flying under the prospect radar, but I think he'll have a chance to break out in AA (though the MWL is tough on hitters). He's definitely showing better #'s than Dykstra at the same position. Dykstra hasn't put it together yet, besides OBP.

Another sleeper pick for me is Lance Zawadzki. He hit well in the AFL. He's on most prospect lists, but I think he's a bit underrated. Probably better as a 2B than a SS. But I'd like to see him get some love, too.

Also...look for a possible position change for Darnell...maybe 2B or OF.

Re: Players for OS Full Minors

I'm sure you're on this but here are some Rays propsects.

Hellickson
Jennings
Moore
Brignac (should be in game)
Colome
Beckham
Nevin Ashley
Luke Bailey
Aneury ROdriguez
Emeel Saleem
Jake McGee
Jose Lobaton
Sean Rodriguez (may be in game)


A list from baseball prospectus

Five-Star Prospects
1. Desmond Jennings, CF
2. Jeremy Hellickson, RHP
3. Wade Davis, RHP
4. Alex Colome, RHP
5. Matt Moore, LHP
Four-Star Prospects
6. Tim Beckham, SS
7. Reid Brignac, SS
Three-Star Prospects
8. Alex Torres, LHP
9. Nick Barnese, RHP
10. Wilking Rodriguez, RHP
11. Luke Bailey, C
Four More:
12. Todd Glaesmann, CF: The Rays’ third-round pick in '09 is an outfielder who's a bit athletic with plus power and good speed.
13. Kyle Lobstein, LHP: An over-slot signee from '08, Lobstein was impressive in his pro debut, but scouts saw more pitchability than stuff.
14. Jeff Malm, 1B: A bat-only pick who was dubbed by one scout as "a high school-equivalent of Brett Wallace."
15. Jake McGee, LHP: The power lefty struggled with both command and getting his velocity back during his brief return from Tommy John surgery.

Hope that helps!

Re: Players for OS Full Minors

How about Michael Main (SP) of Texas, Chris Wilkes (SP,RP) of San Diego, Nick Franklin (SS) of Seattle and Michael Burgess (OF) of Washington? Not a big deal if they're in or not just some guys I played with in high school.

Re: Players for OS Full Minors

Los Panchos still making a killer late night burrito on College & Montezuma? I woke up in that Delta Gamma house a few time across the street haha! I have not been down there for awhile. My buddies used to live off of 55th. Good times!

Good luck on those tests.

I went to Grossmont College and played football there. Used to go to SDSU parties all the time. Lived off Lake Murray Blvd. Sombreros was my hot spot ;-p

Re: Players for OS Full Minors

Could you possible list the Rays guys you are going to include? I'll make my own suggestions, but it'd be nice to know ahead of time what I'll be creating, if its even necessary. Thank you, by the way. The closer this gets to becoming a reality, the better I feel about it.

Navi, just post who you want and I will promptly respond to your request.

Re: Players for OS Full Minors

Here are some of the players who are ignored by most "scouting services", but who are mostly just pure baseball players with a decent amount of potential who I am wondering about:
Kyle Russell (Dodgers) (Should definitely be included.)
Kyle McCulloch (White Sox)
Jon Jay (Cardinals) (Should definitely be included.)
Tommy Giles (Dodgers)
Dennis Raben (Mariners) (Should definitely be included.)
Blake Tekotte (Padres) (Should definitely be included.)
Ryan Jackson (Cardinals) (Should definitely be included.)
Jason Hagerty (Padres)
Dave DiNatale (Rockies)
Mark Sobolewski (Blue Jays)
Roger Tomas (Tigers)
Carlos Gutierrez (Twins) (Should definitely be included.)
Danny Figueroa (Orioles) (Should definitely be included.)
Paco Figueroa (Orioles)
Mitch Canham (Padres) (Should definitely be included.)
Dallas Buck (Reds) (Should definitely be included.)
Jonah Nickerson (Tigers)
Kevin Gunderson (Braves) (Should definitely be included.)
Darwin Barney (Cubs) (Should definitely be included.)
Joey Wong (Rockies) (Should definitely be included.)
Jorge Reyes (Padres) (Should definitely be included.)
Tony Thomas (Cubs) (Should definitely be included.)
Jason Stidham (Cardinals) (Should definitely be included.)
Josh Horton (A's)
Tim Fedroff (Indians) (Should definitely be included.)
Kyle Seager (Mariners)
Tim Federowicz (Red Sox) (Should definitely be included.)
Rob Wooten (Brewers)
Robert Woodard (Padres) (Should definitely be included.)
Brian Bogusevic (Astros)
Beau Mills (Indians) (Should definitely be included.)
Joe Savery (Phillies) (Should definitely be included.)

Do you know which of these players, if any of them, will be included? I think that most of these guys deserve to be included, but I can see why a few of them could be left off. As you can see, I labeled the players who I feel strongly about.

If you need them, I can give you detailed scouting reports on each of these players. Most of these players are all well known former college players to those who scouted or even just followed college baseball, so I'm pretty sure that there's probably a pretty decent amount of information on them that can be found easily online.

My spread sheet has the majority of those names. I dont know 100% where we stand just yet as my list has roughly 500 names on it, but I need more of the contributors input before I can know the final number. Good list and what info did you have one these players in order to compile this list?
