It's not really an arguement.

I'm simply asking him a question in regards to prospect projection.

He's the one closing threads etc avoiding it.

It's pretty funny actually.

Michael Burgess for prez.

Dude get over it. You take things WAY too seriously on an internet forum. While I am (somewhat) on your side on this one just let it go.

Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't give you the right to badger them.

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing with anything at this point.

I don't even know his methodolgy for projecting prospects, let alone know enough it about to disagree with it.

Burgess for Prez.

Alright I will actually make some discussion here.

My top 10 prospects are:

1. Brett Jackson
2. Trey McNutt
3. Reggie Golden
4. Chris Carpenter
5. Jay Jackson
6. Matt Sczur
7. DJ LeMahieu
8. Hayden Simpson
9. Josh Vitters
10. Blake Parker

Yeah Parker probably isn't a top 10, but he is my favorite player in the Cubs organization.

^^ Damn you have Golden high. Is he in the top 10, yes but 3 is too high.

It's more I don't see Carpenter and Jackson as anything more than relief pitchers.

I really like Golden and Sczur.

I didn't say I don't like them. Because I really like both of them a lot. I expect big jumps from them in 11'. JJ and Carp are sp, but to make it as a Cub, they will have to be a RP. So I do see what you mean.

Eh even though we are crowded I just especially dont see Carpenter as a SP. I think he is a back end of the bullpen guy.

Jackson well I just don't trust him that much. And really after that there isn't much left in our system. Simpson hasn't pitched yet, and Vitters continues to fall off. Past that its a whose who of career fringe players at best.

Right now Carp has command issues but when he figures that out, he will be good. He has nasty stuff. But I think he will actually be a tougher RP than RP. JJ; I'm still up in the air but I have high hopes for him too. Let's just see what he does at ST.

 

[FirstTimer]

I'm actually really interested to see how Jae Hoon Ha progresses. He tore up Peoria last season at 19.

 

[poodski]

Yeah we have a couple of interesting pacific rim guys.

The Rhee (SP) was supposed to be really good too, but then I believe he had TJ surgery.

 

[Jntg4]

I like Brett Jackson the most. Archer was my #2, but ho got traded.

Vitters is also 4 years ahead, being drafted out of HS. I thin that he just needs more time to develop.

He starts out bad at every level, but once he gets the hang of it he does super good, just to get promoted and do nothing again.

He just needs to do good when gets called up, or at least get enough playing time to get the hang of it. Hopefully in a September some year.

Jay Jackson is nothing IMHO.

 

[waldo7239117]

Vitters needs to STAY healthy.

 

[Jntg4]

Vitters needs to STAY healthy.

Everyone has to stay healthy, really.

True but Vitters hasn't as of late...

Either has TyColv or Simpson.
