My pick was Rookie Davis, and I think, despite results, he's pretty close to reaching the criteria. Came out of nowhere, made the rotation out of ST. He's having an interesting season at AAA since being sent down and still has some developing to do. Might be a good #3-4 SP in the future. That's probably his ceiling.

My pick was Nick Hanson, then he went all TJ on me. I also liked Beltre and he's nosedived this year. At 22 and in the MW league I wonder if they hold him back or go ahead and move him up next year. He does have a good walk rate and his K rate isn't terrible. I'll defer to Doug or redsof72 as to why but I'm guessing off speed pitches are a problem....
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...
I picked Alfredo Rodriguez because no one else would. He's pretty much exactly what we expected though. I still think he'll eventually have value as a bench player, but I'd be shocked if he ever became a top-100 prospect.

I think if Alf's defense is there, he'll be a starting SS in the big leagues. He may not be a top 100 prospect, but Jose Iglesias never hit as a minor leaguer and he's not only a starter but considered a very solid one. If Cozart leaves and Suarez can't make the move to SS, it may happen sooner than a lot of people think.
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 playing this game next season. Mine was Ian Kahaloa...
"Today was the byproduct of us thinking we can come back from anything." - Joey Votto after blowing a 10-1 lead and holding on for the 12-11 win on 8/25/2010.
Sweet has actually had a pretty good year offensively but he hasn't hit for any power of note. .372 OBP
At the very least he continues to outperform his Dallas Baptist teammate taken 23 rounds ahead of him, David Martinelli.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
