Awesome list.
Surrised no Deryk Hooker. He seems promising from scouting reports, and his numbers certainly are there.

Hooker and Kopp are a couple pitchers I'm pretty high on - similar to Hector Hernandez. This is really the first year that Kopp has stayed healthy, and Hooker was having a breakout season in QC up to his promotion. Right now I'd probably have them in my low- to mid-20's.

I wasgoing to do a top-30, but once igot past 15 I was having a hard time cutting them up. Not much difference between them at all as Swirls said. We are stocked with C+ guys.

Damn...how could I forget Pagodi?! He runs the Minor League Forum.

I deserve a lashing for that!

I think I appreciate these minor league contributors more than anyone. I can't tear myself away from the big club but I want to know what's going on at the other levels, and it's great to have those folks that do that.

Keep it up guys, it's appreciated. I look almost every day, although I don't post much simply because I don't know much.

I read the minor league forum, and I also appreciate the contributions you guys have made.
One guy I'm curious about , though.....because I seem to remember some high marks when he was drafted, do any of you have an analysis of Robert Stock? Is the brass still contemplating a conversion to pitching or OF, or will he be able to stick at catching? Do you see him eventually reaching the majors?

He's allowed 99 stolen bases and has a 28.8 caught stealing percent. To go along with that, he has 16 throwing errors. It's probably a bad idea to analyze catching ability from box scores, but nevertheless I'm pretty sure he has no future as a catcher. If he has a future in baseball it's going to have to be as a pitcher.

The minor league forum is the best pure baseball forum...not a lot of whining and moaning...just baseball.
