		<description><![CDATA[No, not at all. Just the opposite, in fact.

Ramsey is 22 already, so it&#039;s not *crazy* aggressive to place him in high-A...but it IS the most difficult placement for a college hitter (given it&#039;s the FSL, and that it&#039;s also Palm Beach/Jupiter) in ANY organization in the last 8-10 years, I believe.

As for Anthony Garcia, the estimable John Sickels saw Garcia in person a few weeks ago, and described him as roughly 6&#039; 2&quot; and 195, so he&#039;s plenty big enough to sustain his borderline elite power. The tremendous assist/error/games played ratio this year is extremely encouraging, as well. Oh, and yesterday&#039;s bomb was crushed off of Justin Nicolino, a *very* promising Blue Jays prospect who doesn&#039;t surrender many taters.

Garcia is already *easily* a top-100 prospect. If others don&#039;t think so, they&#039;re simply mistaken; by the midseason metrics at Baseball America, Garcia is having one of the best 3 or 4 seasons of any corner outfielder in all the minors. After back-to-back excellent 2010/11 seasons. I have him around #50 right now, and fully expect Anthony to skip over Palm Beach next year, and succeed in AA at age 21. Not thrive, perhaps...but definitely succeed.]]></description>
