    The Official Pimp Yo Prospect Thread

    And with that, I feel the need to pimp Carlos Santana very, very hard.

    4 HR's in 4 games in Columbus so far. This kid is going to be a monster.

    He should be up right now. He is way better than Lou Marson is. Same thing with Posey in San Francisco.

      Yeah, I don't know why they're up. Especially Posey. Giants keep signing Molina to a one-year deal. Maybe they're just waiting for that arbitration cut up though...

        I think I'm a better catcher than Lou Marson. But, we got Marson in the Lee trade so we'll stick with him until June, I'm willing to bet...

          Simon Castro, now 22-years old as of two days ago., is a pitcher making a similar jump from Fort Wayne to San Antonio like Mat Latos. First outing, 5 IP, 5 K's, 4 HA, and 2 BB. Could make the push as a September call-up this year.

            Sanatana is by far a top 3 hitting prospect but the key word is hitting he isnt that good of a catcher at the moment and he has i think 3 passed balls in 4 games unless he can fix that he wont be up anytime soon unless mayb as a pinch hitter or 1b/DH

            the Indians have a few other guys i cant wait to see Jason Knapp, Lonnie Chiesenhall, Nic Weglarz, Nick Hagadone, TJ House, Alex White, Hector Rondon, Abner Abreu

            the pitching farm is loaded

              i wish there was a Cubs prospect to pimp...

              Starlin Castro? Tyler Colvin? The former might be the team's best MIF, the latter is on the ML squad right now, and playing every bit as well as the vets (save for Fukudome)...though, uh, that ain't saying much.

              Geo Soto seems like the most recent in a long line of busts...he obviously has some kind of hole in his swing or something because he hasn't been able to hit since 08 , but no one seems to be doing anything about it. Granted, he was injured for a lot of 09.

              Josh Vitters still gets some acclaim, but it is hard to tell what will come of it...Ramirez seems to be locked in at 3rd until 2157A.D., and Vitters isn't even in AA yet...so, yeah.

              Baseball America still lists Lee and Ramirez on the corners projected into 2013...I can't imagine anyone hopes that will be the case.

              I guess I am not a good pimp.

                      The J-Hey Kid has three homers in six games and leads team with 8 RBI. I don't know if that is a testament to his talent or the lack of talent around him in Atlanta lineup.

                        We got this kid named Madison Bumgarner with the Giants. He's a pitcher, he played a few games in the Majors last season. He was a first round pick a couple years ago and has looked good so far for the team. His fastball can go up into the mid 90's range, and he's only 20. Watch out for this kid, he could make some headlines in a couple years. Lincecum, Cain, Bumgarner is the rotation of the future, and not a bad rotation to have.
                        My Teams:
                        NCAA FB-Oregon Ducks
                        NCAA BB-Gonzaga Bulldogs
                        NBA-Portland Trail Blazers
                        NFL-Carolina Panthers
                        MLB-San Francisco Giants
                        NHL-Los Angeles Kings
                        Won't change this signature until Oregon wins a national championship (started 3/10/10)

                          And he got most of his RBIs batting down in the lineup. Should have at least two or three more RBI's if he was batting in Troy Glaus' place. But I like how he's progressing with his eye.

                            It used to be in the mid 90s. Now he throws 88-92 as he has mysteriously lost some of his velocity.

                              loss of velocity isn't always a bad thing...i don't know about his case...

                              in lots of cases though, a drop in velocity can come with increased movement. A nice 92mph fastball with some action > straight 96mph heat
