    I voted for Butler. Wouldn't be surprised by Miclat or Adams. I'm intrigued by this Wolfredo character. Awesome name. Though I'm pretty sure you mean Wilfredo.

    I am gonna have to go with Adams as of right now.

    He might not be the best fielder, but he his hitting really well and proved himself this year in Delmarva

    Could be a good UTL INF (DeRosa, Aurilla) type.

    Micalt probably has better upside, but I am gonna have to go with the stats here.

    Went with Butler here. Some scouts have even said he might wind up being the jewel of the Bedard trade.

    Love Butler, but Miclat gets the nod for me until Butler stays healthy for a season. Adams is slightly behind due to fielding (throwing) questions.

    I don't think a utility player can go here when guys like Butler, and Miclat have higher upside. Adams may have a bat that can play, but not when he can't throw and catch.

    I dont really see how anyone can vote for Beato at this point. While he has more upside then most people on this list, he is also the least likely to achieve it at this point.

    TBut all the way here. The big lefty just needs to stay healthy.

    Wolfie gets overlooked and is a little over-aged, but he misses bats - which is what a lot of the stat people focus on.

    Miclat is my choice here. His upside is above average starting shortstop. That's a pretty good upside. I like Adams' bat but he's a man without a defensive position at this point. Butler has some upside but it's guesswork as to how far he'll progress.

    If his name was actually Wolfredo he'd be higher on our list. How could you miss with that name?

    Am I crazy to think that Tyler Kolodny should at least be an option at this point?

    I've been picking Adams the last few times. Adams' will find a way to become a decent 2B and his bat does translate well. Miclat still needs to show he can hit in the low minors.

    I'm surprised Zagone isn't getting a look here.

    He has that rare thing that we lack in our system.....control. a 5:1 k:bb!!

    Combine that with the ability to miss bats.

    I know he was a bit old for his league, but he's just out of college, seemed to dominate once he got comfortable AND went deep into games as well.

    I'm not sure what kind of stuff he throws, but it must be pretty decent.

    I'm surprised he's not even a thought is all.

    I think we'll see Zagone somewhere in the 20's.

    I know nothing about him, but sometimes you have to take the numbers of these college pitchers in the NY-Penn League with a grain of salt. I remember getting very excited a few years ago about David Haehnel based on his 61-11 K/BB ratio in 37 innings the year he was drafted. Tony gave some reasons why he might have difficulties at higher levels, which eventually were proven correct. http://www.thebaseballcube.com/playe...-Haehnel.shtml

    Again, I'm not saying Zagone is comparable to Haehnel, but he could be. Let's wait to hear what Tony has to say.
