Redszone Community Prospect Vote #17

[AmarilloRed]

I will vote for Pedro again.

can we get miguel perez up there? I believe he's making a comeback!

Until he signs with the Reds he won't be listed. Currently he is a free agent.

I know no one is asking, but I have Rosales at 7 and Dorn at 9. I actually think Dorn will be a better hitter, but as a corner OF, I'm just not sure his bat will get him many ABs over his competition. Being a lefty helps in a platoon situation though. Rosales is probably a supersub whose bat will be a plus compared to other multi-position guys and may be able to play a lot by moving around the field.

I honestly think Rosales could cut it at 3B or 1B as a starter in the major leagues.

Daryll Thompson, he isn't a over powering pitcher but he has excellent control. I think he will be a player that suprises a lot of people.

[HokieRed]

More people need to look at that Evan Hildenbrandt scouting video. You'll see what upside in a pitcher looks like.

[camisadelgolf]

It's Adam Rosales for me, too.

Valaika, Turner and Pelland all earned prospect status with their performances this year.
I voted for Valaika because he is a projectable ML infield utility player - and he can really hit. I think last year he struck out too much and the bouncing between positions was new to him - and he still produced line drives all day. I think he'll have a great 2008 (so long as he's healthy) in high A/AA.

Finally I can stop voting for Waring.

How is it that everyone wants McBeth in our bullpen next year but no one has voted for him as our #17 best prospect?

Bullpen arms aren't that valuable unless they are flat out dominating.

I agree, but then how is it that Roenicke was ranked so high?

Roenicke projects to be a very good bullpen arm with a 95 MPH fastball and a very good offspeed pitch.

Ditto, let's hope.

MTH123 and I should get together for a beer if Rosales wins this...we've been keeping the faith for quite some time now.

BA ranked Justin Reed as the #16 prospect in the Pioneer League in 2007. He's a great athlete with a good eye at the plate. At age 19 he's only level behind Drew Stubbs with numbers similar to Stubbs. It's entirely possible that Reed will be the toolsy OF who emerges for the Reds 2008.
