Thank You.   The draft signing evaluations were most beneficial to my interests this year.   I added it to my favorites.

Yip. Pretty sweet. (As well, looking back through memory lane of Ricciardi draft picks can be so much be so much fun)

fantastic stuff, Marc. Congratulations.

And a side note to webmaster: can you create an archive of stories and posts which contains download-able pdfs or links: more or less an online resource of Jays baseball ?

Just getting started on this big tasty meal but right off i have to ask (not to be ungrateful because i love this kind of stuff) - Henderson Alvarez at #19? Seriously? I thought he was all the rage this year?
TamRa - Sunday, June 19 2011 @ 01:56 AM EDT (#236997) #
lots of good stuff!

Working backwards from the end, there are a few questions I want to ask for clarity or curiosity:

Carlos Ramirez - RF? He's in Bluefield apparently, and you suggested Hawkins would play CF and Garcia very raw at best so...?

Dalton Pompey - another one who's defense you didn't mention - RF? CF? I'm guessing here again because you said Gomez wasn't a great outfielder.

Can we call Dicke Joe Thon DJ? ;) If he outgrows SS, does that mean 3B is in his future? or RF?

Do I remember correctly that Milciades Santana is a converted position player who hasn't been pitching long?

Someone here (Gerry?) had spoke positively of a catcher named Alexsys Rodriguez - did yu overlook him or is he a non-factor or is he out of the organization or...?

Didn't mention Travis Garret and Jay Johnson cause there's not much to them?

Do all these questions seem ungrateful? I'm really not! I love stuff like this.

oh and by the way: "would you like to see a 2012 guide?" HECK YEAH.
