C'mon guys. When discussing sleepers to climb into the top 10, is it really worth mentioning guys who already rank in the top 15?

I'll second the vote for Bascom and add Greg Miclat.

If Bascom can stay healthy next year, I think he could really take off and progress quickly.

Assuming Miclat continues to show solid arm strength and gap power, he'll address the two biggest questions we had about him, and I would expect him to get a lot more attention as a solid SS prospect for us.

Sleeper pick... so not the guys that are close to the top 10 already, right? Hoes and Avery would almost be expected to be there if they play well.

Bascom is a sleeper certainly...

Hmmmm... Greg Miclat and Rick Zagone would be my best guesses.

Caleb Joseph could surprise next year as well, although I'd be shocked to see a top 10 for him. ;)

Ok how about Justin Moore

My comment wasn't necessarily towards your first candidate - Ryan Adams. He may have had a good year and may already be on the map on the OH, but he hasn't been ranked yet on Tony's rankings, and we're through the first 16.

Justin Moore? I think it's safe to say that he's someone most everyone is sleeping on. :D

Okay, so Top 10 is unrealistic because anything he does will be tempered by him being a 23 year-old in A+, but I'll still bring up his name.

Matt Angle hit .328/.426/.443/.868 after the SAL All-Star break. He stole 20 bases at an 80% clip over that time. And he has a whopping total of 3 errors in 192 professional games, I believe all in CF. He had 1 error this year in 126 games.

Reports from Tony say that he's just not strong enough (, specifically, he'll probably get beat consistently by a good inside fastball). But reports also say that he has a great work ethic. So maybe he'll be the guy who works his butt off in the off-season and reaches his still reasonably high ceiling.

EDIT: Oh, and I like the Tony Butler pick too. I'm not betting on him, but he sure has the potential to move WAY up. Where 'Top 10' might be out of the realm of possibility for Angle, it isn't for Butler.

      Thats how you frame.  You bring the ball up into the zone.  If your glove is set at target and then you go down for the low pitch momentum and gravity will carry the glove and ball lower and out of the zone.  Same with inside/outside pieces, if you show target and move out towards the edge of plate, momentum will carry glove & ball further away. Catchers are taught the show target first, then drop glove down and catch the ball with a motioning coming up.  Same for inside/outside pitch’s, the glove will start further away and then you catch it with a motion bringing it into zone.   It’s much more difficult to do hence the missed ball (a lot of that at lower levels).  The very good framers do it effortlessly and smoothly and can bring the ball into zone for strikes.  Gone are the days of “stick it” & turn your wrist.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By foxfield · Posted

      I like the move.  I would have liked to have gotten a better arm, but I think it's a pretty fair trade.  Philly's probably grade out slightly higher, but which team fairs better this year because of the trade depends on a number of factors. The move does create some space for our young OF, but Pache is likely just a late inning replacement and that likely just shifts the pressure elsewhere. Also think Hays' comments are entirely overblown.  What the hell was he supposed to say getting traded from the #2 team so far to the #1? Lastly, in the same way moving Mancini to Houston was good for us and good for a respected Oriole, I like the opportunity Hays will have in Philly.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      Agreed every player will say that going to a new team.  What they gonna say man that team is awful their organization is run terrible.   It’s always the same cliche responds.  I like our chances that are a team competing or if you go to a bottom team it is I like my chances to play they are an upcoming team with some young talent that I think I can help.

      Clubhouse issues?

      Hays I 100% think he was bitter and resentful. About a month ago he had a decently big game and they interviewed him on field and he didn’t even seem happy. Then, Melanie asked him what it was like to be in left field with the (I don’t remember what it was called) Cowser cheering section. He did not seem amused at all. So yeah, prob another reason it was best he was traded.

      Just what @398 to Leftsaid in his post.  I was sitting in my car listening to the whole interview and Law said something like his reporting that Hayes wouldn’t be that missed in the locker room.  It surprised me and Bob never followed up on it.  It was just a quick remark like that.

      Iron also dulls iron. Depends on how they interact.
