    Re: So, who is the sleeper?

    Give me li'l Ramon Ramirez as pitcher. Must be good if he's better than Carlos Guevara...


    as an aside, Reds paid well above slot money to the following draftees: LHP Jamie Arneson, OF Tony Brown, RHP Jonathan Conatser, none of which have shown much. Yet.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of Conatser's. I expect him to break out some time within the next couple years.

    No one. The ones who are heralded might make it; the unheralded ones are for a reason.

    Actually I'd say that the unheralded ones make it more often than the highly heralded ones do. I may be wrong but I bet the #'s aren't that far apart.
