Redszone Community Prospect Vote #33

[dougdirt]

Vote for the player who you think is the Reds #33 prospect (the best prospect who is not yet on the list). We will go with this as far as you guys want to take it.

I will post a new list every 2 days with 10-15 options to vote on.

If you feel like making an argument on why a guy should be voted here, feel free to vote and state why you voted for that player.

If there is someone that is not currently listed as an option to vote on, vote for 'other' then just state who you want to vote for in the thread.

If there is anyone you would like to see as an option on the next poll, just say so and if they garner enough support, they will be placed on the next poll. Guys with the lowest amount of votes will usually be removed for the next few guys who were talked about in the previous thread.

I'm going with the Zack Attack. Coming out of the draft, his ceiling was questioned a bit, but his floor has always been as a MLB backup (which is widely considered to be the ceiling of some of the previously-elected prospects, such as Paul Janish).

Doug, speaking of Janish, you have him as an option in the poll, but he was already selected as the #30 prospect.

Chiu was 19 last season. He was the ace of the Reds GCL rotation. He allowed a 1.08 WHIP, had a 1.35 G/F ratio, posted a 8.03 K/9 and had a 5.88 K/BB.

Tatum

Plays catcher.

[RedsManRick]

I went with Chiu. Very unheralded, but is young and could be top 15 in the system next season if he repeats his performance in A ball.

52.2 IP, 47 K, 8 BB, 3 HR. That's really good.

I am slacking big time on this the past few days.

So it's not a good time to correct the spelling of Chui to Chiu? :

[BoydsOfSummer]

Well, we know Cozart and Tatum can play defense in the Show at least.

Ramon Ramirez again.

[Superdude]

Can anyone give a scouting report on Ramirez?

[Redman15]

I went with Chris Heisey. I'm picking him as my 2008 sleeper. He could have a better year than most of the OF prospects ranked ahead of him. I love his make up. He's tough and plays the game a lot like Freel.

Exactly!

[Red Daddy]

Valiquette is ready for a BIG year. He's getting it together. The Razor Ramirez scouting report??? His underhand speedball clocks in at 53 mph. His curve is that high underhand pitch you see in church leagues!!!! Vote for Valiquette.

52.2 IP, 47 K, 8 BB, 3 HR. That's really good.

But then again, he throws a fastball in the low to mid 80's. Not quite liking that.

One sleeper who's gotten no mention yet is Travis Webb.
