Hey Erik, I haven’t seen it posted on this site but a guy named David Pratt has put up some pretty high quality videos from the AFL.

Agreed, Easy. I think Freese is a little overlooked by some, although I’m not sure I can put him ahead of Jones. He’s a lock for my top 10 and I think Freese could be a Mike Lowell-lite. Granted, he’ll strike out more than Lowell and will probably never have a .324 batting average year, but could be an above average 3B that gives you .270/.325/.465.

Erik,
I agree about Garcia. I still have him number three on my list. He could, indeed, be better when he comes back and he is the only left handed pitcher in the system that could be even considered for the twenty best prospects list. (Need more info on Sam Freeman).
I initially thought the “Readers” were overrating David Freese but the more I look at his career numbers the more I think I may have paid too much attention to the fact that he’s a couple years older for the levels he’s played at. He has raked offensively everywhere he’s played. If he is truly a plus defender as has been stated we might want to make sure he gets a chance with us rather than throwing him in on a trade.
