re: Baseball America Top 100

I still have hopes for Appel to come on strong this year, but I doubt he'll be a star front of the rotation guy in the future. Probably a very solid 2 or 3 starter.

Also the astros not having as many top 100 prospects now is because they got called up last season.

They've brought some young talent up to the bigs They can't exactly stay stacked with the farm systems that, say, the Cardinals can.


Really excited about the Sox having some young catchers with Vazquez, who is got a cannon and can gun runners down, something that Salty and other pasts have lacked, an Swihart who I completely forgot was still stashed down there.

Astros have 2 guys in the top 100, and 1 is mark appel. I remember it was just last year the Astro fans were fawning over their farm system.

So, remind me... Are you an angry old fart or a mad little kid that got rejected from the Astros when you wanted to be a ball boy?

Either way, you really are obsessively upset.
