[OnBaseMachine]

I came across this website about a week or so ago. There's not any in-depth analysis of the prospects but you don't find many 40-deep prospect lists plus a depth chart.

His entire system is based off of a formula he has based on stats/age/level/league and all that good stuff. Scott runs a good website, but he disappears for weeks or months at a time sometimes.

I like Danny Dorn a whole bunch, but him ahead of Stubbs, Valaika, Fisher, Janish and even Turner is funny.

[cinredsfan2000]

B.J. Szymanski has certainly dropped out of sight in the last year or 2 .What happened? He have some sort of injury or something ? I thought he was among the top prospects we had?

[dougdirt]

He cant hit a baseball. Simple as that.

[edabbs44]

Sean Watson = 1st team?

[Redmachine2003]

He cant hit a baseball. Simple as that.

And can't stay healthy

[Superdude]

Jordan Smith over Lecure and Fisher?

[dougdirt]

Jordan Smith over Lecure and Fisher?

Well like I said earlier, Scott Rex (who runs the site) has a formula taking into account stats/level/age/position/other stuff and that gives a player a number (lowest I have seen was like -40, highest was ike 273), and then using those numbers he ranks the players.

I don't mean to criticize, but I would've found a spot for Rick Asadoorian over a bunch of those guys.

Man, what a pathetic list of catching "prospects".

To even list Tatum in the top 40 is a bit of a stretch, IMHO.
