我沒有想過Joshua Bell和Preston Mattingly的評價有這麼高，不過我對Preston的守備位置評價和BP是差不多的。

I feel that while there have been many MLB capable players in recent years... more than normal... there havent been any star calibre players.....
The farm system I am most impressed by is still Arizona's.... Drew, Quentin etc.... they didn't only produce multiple future MLBers..they produced future all stars...
as for the Angels discussion... Kotchman is REALLY good.... that kid has both power and a good eye... and hits for average too... kinda like... nick swisher with better contact ability. I would say he is a sleeper for 2007.
我的想法：
1. Kershaw：還有很久的路得走，他得克服的難題除了健康之外，至少看明年上A+的情況如何。
2. LaRoche：得證明他05年的power不是曇花一現，否則只是個average power hitter。
MLB capable star
==================
MLB capable starter
3. Loney：麻煩大了，沒位置。
4. Elbert：控球。Ceiling較Meloan高是因為他左投外加目前還當他是先發，但若控球一直差下去，被Meloan幹掉之日可期。
5. Meloan：明年在AA/AAA甚至上MLB見真章。和Broxton一樣，我較prefer他們先發，不過不太可能。
MLB capable starter
==================
MLB capable bench
6. DeWitt：先找回該有的打擊再說吧，不然MLB連門都沒有。
7. Hu：完成品。
8. Abreu：完成品。

Bell、Mattingly：還年輕。
Morris：可能的話等他健康我再重估。
Orenduff：傷。
Dunlap：被球團討厭中。
Madboy,
Thanks for making a thorough ranking of the prospects.
Speaking of Broxton though, what do you think about this trend of making young starters into relievers? It started with Gagne, and more recently we have Papelbon and Broxton.
I don't know, just think that, if someone is good, you should try ot maximize their IP, to get the most benefit.... hence making them SP, instead of RP or CP.
Thanks,
Wilson
I've heard reasons that some organizations choose to transfer some youngsters to RPs to shorten those fresh arms' climbing passage to major league. Thus, they can get RPs from their farm production faster.
And a few of them may later transfer back to SPs...
Also, I don't see much difference between Penny and Broxton. Though Penny is a career SP (who go up to major league in his fifth year), and the bull was transferred to RP in his fourth professional season (who go up to the majors once he turned to RP).
