For what it's worth, Baseball America had Perez rated 11th in the Reds' system pre-season.Originally Posted by Lance McAlister
Going 307/262 so far this year isn't going to make him go higher.

keep hyping Perez, Lance
when we deal him we won't be losing anything
Little suprised that Luke Hudson doesnt get any mentions (not for the prospect list, but in general). I see as a starter he has his ERA down to 4 with a great K/9 rate. If he could cut down on his walks, I think he could really turn into a productive ML level. I see him eventually as a middle reliever, forming a great power combo with Booker.
Hudson isn't a prospect.
I realize that, and neither is Booker. Im sorry I went a little off subject, but if Booker gets mentions on this list, then the fact remains I'm a little suprised Hudson didnt/doesnt.Originally Posted by Aronchis
No prob, Hudson is coming off Labrum, so I don't hold much hope, Booker, he is Aramboles Jr.Originally Posted by Fil3232
Who do you guys think will be in baseball america's top 100 prospects?
I think Ede E., is for sure top 25. Gardner, maybe top 50. Wagner, if he is still eligible will be top 50. Blanco, maybe top 100. Pauly, small chance. Homer maybe at the low end, but probably not until next year. Moseley, is very underrated he shoud at least be considered. After that nobody but Gruler even gets a mention.
Here is what you do for Claussen. You send him a video of Glavine and if he has any control at all he will be just fine. Everyone wants Claussen to get back to 93-95 mph but I love the way lefties can take a little off their pitches and get the big outs. So if Claussen is throwing 88-91 that is fine with me as long as he has a change-up and a slower change-up, a curveball and a slower curveball. Claussen has better stuff than alot of pitchers but if he learns to take a little of his pitches instead of trying to blow the ball by people I think he could be very fine pitcher in the bigs.
Homer Bailey doesn't make anyone's top ten list? or one guy's top 20?
Homer isn't signed yet so I would say no too.
Not until he's signed and has done something worthy of making the top 10. Hype alone shouldn't put him there (see: Howington, Ty and Grueler, Chris).Originally Posted by Eric_Davis
hype alone is all that a lot of these guys have going for themOriginally Posted by Boss-Hog
1. Homer Bailey
2. EdE
3. WMP. K's too much.
4. Pauley
4. Gardner
6. Felipe Lopez
7. Wagner
8. Claussen. Bullpen
9. Moseley
10. Votto
11. Todd Coffey
12. Jung Bong
13. Tyler Pelland.
14. Corky Miller
15. Bubba Nelson
16. Kevin Howard. Can he defend that position?
17. BJ Szymanski
18. Jesus Sanchez
19. Romano. But only if they play him at second and third too
20. Reith. K rate
21. Medlock. Bullpen
22. Belisle
23. Chris Denorfio. But not if they won't challenge him
24. Blanco. Deal him
25. Steve Kelly
26. Phil Dumatrait, it was "just" a TJ surgery
27. Sardinha.
28. Kenny Kelly
29. Smitherman
30. Dickerson
31. Segovia. Lefty
32. Gilman. "just" a TJ surgery
i think smitherman needs to be in the Top 10. I know he was rated 7th by Baseball America.
#6 on your list? I gotta hear the reasoning for this.Originally Posted by princeton
IMO, Felipe is not much different from Larson. They can both shine up real nice down at AAA where the pitching and pressure are not as good. As soon as they hit the stadium with the lights and the pressure, they look completely overwhelmed. What is it you see in Felipe that leads you to believe that he will come around?
Or, are you devaluing the prospects behind him?
highly rated due primarily to positive inertia and consistency. Now he's showing negative inertia and inconsistency. Also bad is the fact that at his age, he needs ML time and won't get it.Originally Posted by Petitt33
