The Red Sox really raided the farm for Gonzalez. Only 3 in the top 100. Although Westmorland would be there if he didnt have brain surgery last season.

Wrong.

Kila actually hit pretty well last year in his last 40 games. And it’s Ka’aihue, but way to go on looking informed.

Woohoo, happy Wilson Ramos is still in the top 100, & hope he wins the backup job in WAS and becomes full time during the season.

Looks like BA posted the wrong order earlier, so Teheran (not Hellickson) is their top pitcher.

Nice to see Taillon ranked so high.

I live in KC, and what the Royals will do is get the kids up here and when they start to get good it will be about time for them to sign a new contract,,,Then they will trade them because their owner is CHEAP, they will get some old baseballs and used jocks. This owner stinks probably one of the worst.

Close. Assuming they ever get tot he major leagues and don’t get buried in the minors, as Moore likes to do for his Braves prospects.

“Won’t matter about the Royals prospects. As long as Moore is the GM, they’ll never be surrounded by quality Major Leaguers, and they’ll get traded when they get close to FA.”

Fixed.

Actually, it was .217 with eight homers in 180 at-bats for Ka’aihue, and the Royals were impressed enough that he’s been penciled into the 2011 lineup.

I’m trying to think of prospects that got away too.

The only prospect I can think of that the fans wanted up was Kila Ki’hooey (or however you spell it). And he want out and proved that GMDM knew what he was doing by posting little power and batting .196.

What great Royals prospects has Moore ever let get away?

Phillies with 4 guys in the top 70. Not bad for a team that supposedly empties it’s minor leagues to make the Cliff Lee/Joe Blanton/Roy Halladay trades the last 3 years.

Now now, just because the organization generally acts as a 7-11 (or a Wawa if you’d prefer) come trade deadline time doesn’t mean it’s time for despair just yet…..we haven’t even had a spring training game yet

Won’t matter about the Royals prospects. As long as Moore is the GM, none of them will ever see the Major Leagues.
