Stock Up/Stock Down: Minor League Report

After looking at some of the different 2011 draftees I thought it high time to do a little update on the minor leaguers. Right now Keith, Griffin, Brett and I are comparing notes and we’ll have a new mid-season Top-100 out in a few weeks.

But until then I think that it’d be fun to look at some of my notes on guys this year. Because I’m about as unoriginal as they come I thought I’d copy off of Baseball America’s format.

I did leave off some of the obvious picks Taijuan Walker and James Paxton. We’ve talked an awful lot about them and while it’s been well deserved this is an opportunity to shine the light on some of the other deserved players.

It’s Here: 51-75

It took some work… but at long last, as promised, here is the prospect watch list 51-75 rankings. I’ve spent about two hours looking at it and here is the most important thing, not changed any rankings.

The list consists primarily of relievers with potential, and young unproven talent with a few guys that had college success mixed in just for fun.

Again my usual disclaimer: This isn’t a prospect listing. This is more of a watch list that I alone completed. If you feel an injustice has occurred please let me know,  I certainly realize there are something that can be debated and I’m willing to discuss it in a rational manner.

The point to this is to create intelligent discussion and awareness of prospects in the Mariners organization. I am not a professional and all I’m attempting to do is to enhance the enjoyment of watching baseball.

With that out of the way, have at thee!
