Kyle Weiland and Alex Wilson are the two pitchers who are listed as "A" potential, but probably shouldn't be. Weiland might pass as a "B" potential, but Wilson shouldn't be any higher than a "C".

Stolmy Pimentel could possibly take up the other "A" potential.

Of course, this is coming from a Cub fan who has already had to experience this with Prior... it's very much part of the game so I think it should be included. Then when you're preparing for the draft you scouts could tell ya they're concerned with so and so mechanics and he could be a high risk pick...

Yeah I think that would be good with the mechanics aspect. Looking at Strahsburg's pitching motion, it's eerily similar to the way prior pitched, the inverted W which has been proven will cause injury. So let's keep our fingers crossed with Strahsburg, especially since he throws the ball much harder than most that used than inverted W.

I hope this may be helpful to some.

I don't remember who, but one guy said last week that he was about to finish his part and send it to one other guy who needed one week to complete the set.

Is that wrong ? Can the OSFM team give us an Estimated WEEK of Arrival ?

Thank you Knight. I don't remember who it was, there was actually two players though, both pitchers and both 24 yrs old...I think one name was Kyle Wieland...cant remember the other "A" potential prospect. They should be probably a C potential at best though. I would like it if Iglesies was an "A" potential, but ok if not. Here's his scouting report:

Scouting Report: Plus plus glovework. Plus arm. Range is also plus, but there have been varying reports. Excellent instincts. Has the makings of a Gold Glove shortstop. Also able to play second and third base. His bat is a question mark at this point, particularly power-wise, and he's not likely to add much more bulk to his frame. Pull hitter. Needs to improve strike zone judgment and overall patience at the plate. Average-to-above-average speed.

This is Casey Kelly's scouting report...both from Soxprospects.com

Athletic frame with smooth agility and a tremendous feel for pitching. Kelly was a two-way player in high school, excelling at both shortstop and as a pitcher. He was also a highly-touted quarterback recruit for Tennessee before signing with the Sox. Kelly split his first pro year in 2009 between pitching and hitting, showing elite pitching tools and mediocre offensive skills. In December 2009, Kelly made the decision to continue his career on the mound. Kelly's pitching skills are quite advanced for his age, mixing in three plus pitches: a low 90s fastball, a hard 12-6 curveball, and a nice change. He throws all of his pitches with outstanding command and control. Sound, smooth mechanics. Fastball has excellent downward movement, and generally sits between 89 and 92 mph, getting up to 93-94 mph on occasion. Many scouts project that he'll sit in the 92-94 mph range after he fills out. Curveball has the potential to become a plus-plus wipeout pitch. It sits around 76-78 mph, but he tends to show it a little too much at times. Kelly's changeup sits around 84 mph with a lot of sink. For the most part, he keeps the ball low in the zone, but he's hittable when he leaves it up. Very good mound presence. Kelly had the makings of an elite defensive shortstop before converting to pitching full time, so he should be an excellent pitcher defensively.

Thank you Knight for responding and being willing to make the change. I appreciate that

if you're dropping a B guy down are you going to be making some other guy's A's?

for instance Michael Ynoa (Inoa) of the A's who's a B, but i think should be an A... he's on of the 16 year old prospects from a year or two ago



im still a little peeved at SCEA for giving Jeff Francour a D and Carlos Quentin a C so i know you cant fix those errors

Just to save Knight a click, here is gledhill's helpful hint:

I'm doing a Twins franchise using Knights rosters, and I have Estarlin De Los Santos in the minors. In the rosters his surname is De Lo Santo, obviously because there aren't enough characters in his full name. This irked me somewhat, being a roster perfectionist. However!!! I changed his surname to DeLosSantos (no spaces), and the game automatically put spaces in afterwards and his full surname is proudly on display for me to ignore all season in Double A! Anyway, just thought I'd post this for others as OCD as me.

I wonder if this will work for Pirates pitching prospect Zach Von Rosenburg? I think his name w/o a space is 12 characters; hopefully 11 isn't the limit...

[tree3five]

ya it works for Von Rosenberg Qb but there is an 11 limit so you will have to eliminate a letter. i went with Von Rosnberg
