    It will be a real feather in Elias’ cap if this guy turns into a real good prospect. Wasn’t he the main overslot in the Cowser draft?

    Yeah, because he missed Jud Fabian by a single pick

  2. If it's really three standard deviations, an 80 means is that you're better than 997 out of 1000 MLB players at something. There are roughly 330 active MLB hitters at any point in time, so an 80 means you're probably better at whatever the 80 is in than all but one or two active hitters. I'm not saying the scale is actually used like that, but it if is, I doubt Basallo, or anyone in the system, is an 80 raw power.

    I’m going to go out on a limb and say that current game power is probably better than a 40. 

    In Delmarva, sure. I'll bet it's still close to 40 against MLB pitching, which I believe is what the scouting grades are talking about

    From what I've seen, he's not Dan Uggla-bad at 2B. For whatever reason I can see him having a Steve Pearce-esque career, playing corners and some 2B, hitting well, but never settling in one place. I don't really have anything to back that up, but that's what I kind of think.

    I've always thought of a ceiling for Norby as Dan Uggla with a bit less bat and a bit more glove

    I think he's planning to trade Westburg. He has already moved Benscome and has often mentioned possibly dealing from the middle infield prospect depth. Grow the bats, buy the arms. 

    When did he move Bencosme? Are you thinking of Hernaiz?

  6. Baker is in the pen for sure to start the year. I think he ends up being a fine reliever this year.

    If GrayRod is in the rotation, Wells and Voth are probably the long men in the pen who will be the first candidates for the rotation if someone is injured/struggles. If GrayRod goes to AAA, one of them steps in. My guess is Voth gets first crack based on last year.

  7. If the health continues to be a problem, Hays is probably a great 4th outfielder on a strong contender. Not playing every day could keep him healthier.

    If he stays healthy he's an above average starting outfielder (probably worse in center because his defense would be stretched)
