Salvador Sanchez?

 

My AAP! :headbang

You guys are thinking of Aaron Cunningham.

I would think it would be Aaron too, being that he's the one that did move up. Sanchez started hot, but that was very temporary.

I realize Aaron was on the list, but I still think that's the guy.

Salvador Sanchez is who we are talking about. Fathom, can you PM me with the name. I'm curious.

I have heard grumblings of who it is.  I won't say because some people will want to see it when it comes out, but if you PM I will tell you.

 

Why not? I posted the whole Top 10 last year before it came out!

 

Be like Nike.......... Just Do It!

(H-HR)/(AB-HR-K)

 

For pitchers, you can't really find AB data, but AB should about equal to 3*IP+H+RoE -- And you probably won't be able to find minor league Reached on Error data either. You can get a pretty good idea if you fudge it though.

 

Ask and ye shall receive!

 

Not sure what the hell this number is supposed to mean, but here are Liotta's numbers for last year based on your formula.

 

Kannapolis

.326 - (108H - 5HR/428AB - 5HR - 107K)

 

Winston-Salem

.315 - (46H - 1HR/181AB - 1HR - 37K)

 

Overall

.322 - (154H - 6HR/609AB - 6HR - 144K)

Why don't I ever see much mention of Chris Getz? His college career was impressive. I hear he's good with the glove, has a great K/BB ratio and decent speed.

 

I understand that he hasn't had a full year in the system yet.

Mostly cause he's not a guy with a high ceiling. I'm a big fan of his cause I like the way he plays but he's not going to crack many of these top 10 lists. Also, you got to take into account that he dominated a league in which he should have last year, so as good as he played he has work to do to impress others.

He may with time. Getz is a pretty solid player all around the board. Doesn't wow you in any area, but his overall consistency along with some development (and more experience) should make him a solid prospect.

 

I think he has the ability to crack the top 10 with a good year. Plus our system isn't strong.

Ya, that's true. He just isn't the type of guy that usually makes a high impact on these lists if that makes sense. He's not a high ceiling guy which the guys at BA seem to usually want up there.

He's an experienced college player with 2B skills. Last year everyone got all hot and bothered by Adam Ricks. This year it's Getz? He has utility player potential (althou he's mediocre at SS), and you generally don't see those guys ranked terribly high.

Would David Eckstein at 2B be Getz's ceiling?

Sounds about right as a ceiling. Nothing that get's people who rate prospects on tools and ceiling all that excited, LOL!

Hey does anybody know the status of OF Mike Spidale? Where is he going to be during spring training? What team is he playing on right now? If anyone knows these answers please reply A.S.A.P. Thanks

Pretty sure he was demoted all the way to WS last season which is High A.... prob start this season in AA id assume I guess with a good spring training he can get a spot in Charlotte still.

Spidale was regarded highly after 04 but had some regression issues last year and went to WS. It's anybody's guess as to wehre he ends up.

He was long thought of as a platoon outfielder at best. He's a good guy and he had a major regression this past year, but he should find himself higher up on the charts now that a few more outfielders are gone (Young in AZ; Anderson in CF and potentially Owens as a 4th outfielder).
