He is, after all, divinely embodied, half-human half-deity, like all our rulers before him, a descendant from the loins of the Great Ox-in-the-Sky that shines at night upon our kingdom in the brief but beneficent summer months. They dared not speak ill of their ruler. They could only look at each other and wait. One day, the ruler ...

Published 1/31/2008 by Jason at MY BASEBALL BIAS
Kevin Goldstein held a chat over at BP this afternoon to discuss his 100 Top Prospect Rankings. Here was a question regarding Austin Jackson: Tom (Palm Bay, Fl): I’m not sure I get the sudden love for Austin Jackson. How does one outstanding half season transform an chronic underachiever into a top prospect? Don’t you need to see more? Kevin Goldstein: You need to see more, yes. But the thing is, and this is where the scouting aspect becomes very important, is that Jackson has the ...

Clearing the Bases--Prospects, not PEDs

... , then submitted to a full afternoon of interrogation . Topping the list is Cincinnati center fielder Jay Bruce, and the Reds can also boast pitcher Homer Bailey (#), first baseman Joey Votto (21), and pitcher Johnny Cueto (41). That's a nice bit of high-end talent, but nobody can touch the Rays, who have five of the top 25 prospects; their days as the AL East's doormat may be at an end. The Yankees' Joba Chamberlain comes in ranked an impressive #4, though that won't be enough to appease the nitpickers who sweat Boston's Clay Buchholz being ranked #2. The Yankees placed five ...
