Casey-There will be more stuff on the way. I think after the season we’re just resting up for prospect profiles, rankings, and more. There will be lots of updates in the offseason, so don’t worry.

And there just isn’t ten prospects on each team, maybe three or four, more on others maybe. Also, there has been so many in season promotions, so it could be hard to find out who fits where.

does Curtis remind anyone else of renteria….granted they play different positions, but from what i’ve seen in video and what i read in the scouting reports, he seems like a streaky type with some power…and last night he proved his clutchitude…which edgar had in spades

I think Strauss was being facetious.

I agree with Easy. I love how people automatically assume that TLR is the root of Rasmus being in the doghouse. When Rasmus went down after Spring Training everyone understood that move considering his waiver status and the glut of performing outfielders that couldn’t be sent down (including Barton). And while Rasmus was probably disappointed, he seemed to act like the good soldier and go. Seriously…Rasmus spent the majority of the season at Memphis, and that’s where the crap that went on with him and his family. Personally, I believe he’s in the doghouse with the organization as a whole, up to and including Mo.

Thanks for the referral to the Baseball Intellect site. I was unaware of them. Looks like we aren’t overrating Niko. That’s a dismal statement about Colby. Would TLR be capable of creating that doghouse for him just make the brass think about trading him for more immediate help?
Could be but, on the other hand, no kid who hits .250 in a minor league, nor his father, should be complaining about him being deemed not ready. I don’t think we should either.

Hello Everyone-
It’s not as much fun on here since the season is over(no offense intended) so why don’t we all do some goofy, off-the-wall stuff like maybe pick Top Ten Prospects for each affiliate this year. For players like Todd, we would have to decide whether he could be in more than one or if he could be in all.
What say the masses?

Not our guys but, the Sacramento River Cats the A’s Triple-A Affiliate, are one win away from winning back-to-back PCL titles.

I bring it up because they are a minor league dynasty, since becoming a team in 2000, they have won the division title 7 out of 9 years and if they win this year it would be the 4th time they have won the title, while no other team has won it more than once in same time frame.

And on top of that the Oakland spent one year in Vancouver winning the PCL title in 1999 and won with Edmonton in 96 and 97, So amazingly enough Oakland affiliated teams could win 7 of the last 13 PCL titles!

I always wonder why we think baseball players are at the emotional level of 8 year old girls. Then someone in baseball acts like an 8 year old girl…and I think Oh yeah it’s because they do act like 8 year old girls.

I can’t help but wonder how much longer until Wallace moves into one of the rooms in the dog house.

I hear Cleveland would think about taking another prospect off our hands.

Tony needs to go. For the good of the future of the organization.

Scott Gorgen will be one of our top 3 pitching prospects by the end of next year—mark my words.
