Likewise. Similar stuff and makeup as JJ Hoover, but with a weaker arm. High probability of making the big leagues in some form or other. Despite his injury, he has pretty clean mechanics overall. He's not particularly sizeable or strong, but he is taller than both Cueto and Corcino and still has room to fill out. I feel like he's one that could reach the big leagues as a #5 starter within two or three years as is.

All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
I'm not that familiar with him, but his numbers look good. He might get my vote next poll.
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
mth, I usually agree with you 95% of the time but I don't see the case for Smith over Waldrop. (Lamarre's another matter.) Smith last year posted a slightly higher OPS than Waldrop: .787 over his two levels to Waldrop's .767.
But his K/W ratio was not as good: about 3.5 to 1 as opposed to 2:1, and his ratio of extra base hits to total hits was significantly lower: 22% to about 30%. Also he is a full three years older than Waldrop. Yet if Smith starts this year at Pensacola and Waldrop at Bakersfield, as seems likely, he's only a half level above. This is not to mention Waldrop's very large improvement from 2011 to 2012 and his consistent, month by month, improvement within 2012.
Agree. I like Smith fine; his proper comp seems to me Lamarre. I think both have a good chance to be decent 4th outfielder types. Mostly what seems to me not taken enough into account about Waldrop is his age. He made a lot of progress this year as a 20 year old. I'll be interested to see the Bakersfield roster; he'll likely be among the youngest, if not the youngest, position player on the roster, with the possible exception, of course, of Yorman if they start him there.

Romano and Moscot are going to surprise people this year. They should be getting votes at this point in the polls. Josh Smith and Mason Felt need to put on the prospect list as well, same with Devin Lohman. Reds are high on Lohman, he is the "under the radar" prospect who they expect to have a breakout year. Smith should start in AA, great numbers. Felt could be a special SP, my thoughts go out to him and his family.
