Dodgers need to trade some of those guys for pitching.

I have been watching Alex Romero play this season for the RENO ACES and he looks like he is maybe 2 years away from the "show"

Yeah, like 4 years ago-- Those aren't exactly "5-star prospects". In fact, most of the guys on those lists are "career minor leaguers", although it does take me down memory lane seeing some of those names

[SamtheBravesFan]

Charlie Morton, unless something really drastic occurs or he becomes a long reliever, is not part of the Braves' future. If there is anyone that is eventually "coming", it would be Tommy Hanson.

Who is the better pitcher?:

Tommy Hanson - 11 GS, 3-3, 1.49 ERA, 66 1/3 IP, 40 H, 16 R, 11 ER, 17 BB, 90 SO
Charlie Morton - 10 GS, 7-2, 2.51 ERA, 64 2/3 IP, 52 H, 18 R, 18 ER, 16 BB, 55 SO

yea I guess your right. One of those guys is 31 :ughh

[Rich the Giants fan]

Actually, one guy on the list, Jesus Guzman, is only 24 and he can really mash. He can't field a lick, but he can hit the ball, I'll tell you that. Got his first crack a couple of weeks ago, but didn't do much.....yet.

Yep, Mike Burns isn't coming to the majors unless there's an injury.

[KCGHOST]

Luke Hochevar is the classic 4A guy. Too good for AAA and not good enough for the majors.

That's a solid evaluation, which is a shame because he was the #1 OVERALL PICK-- Drafted ahead of Lincecum and Joba (and EVERY OTHER PLAYER in the 2006 draft)

It's got to kill you as a Royals fan, but they seem like a fun team to watch this year and there is some minor league depth

:thumbsup: Had no idea Dee Brown was still playing. Same goes for some of the other guys on those lists.

I don't think there's any such gap at all. Aren't the best players in AAA better than the worst players in MLB?
