Your Top 10/20/30/50 Marlins Prospects

[Ramp]

Even though it does annoy me that he was drafted as a signability pick, I wouldn't be biased in my rankings with them

[Todd]

I dont mind that he was drafted as signability so much as the fact that the signability pick still held out.

I am biased to a degree because Shelby Miller was still available(even though he was more expensive).

I don't know why you would be upset they took one high schooler generally considered to be a top 20 pick over another high schooler generally considered to be a top 20 pick. I've always found your position on this really silly.

I mean, have you really studied either one of them extensively? So why are you so vehement? Breifly looking over some mock drafts, both James and Miller were projected anywhere from 15 (the highest) to 20 (The lowest), and yet you consider one to be a massive improvement over the other. It's fucking stupid.

[Todd]

Your ranges are off a tad. Shelby Miller was generally regareded as a early to mid 1st round pick, James was considered more of a late 1st/sandwich round pick most mocks you looked at.

So yeah, Miller might have been a slightly more highly regarded prospect, but I ask again have you seen either of them pitch? What is your opinion that Miller is this slam dunk that James isn't based on? They are prep school pitchers, nobody has any fucking clue what's going to happen with them.

Miller signed for 1.15 million more than James. There's no world in which that's the right pick for us. Come on.

[Fish and Chips]

just because he is considered a signability pick, doesnt mean Chad doesnt have the right to hold out for extra money.

I have read the same scouting reports as anyone else. They pretty much all say that Miller has top of the rotation stuff and that James is more of a mid to back of the rotation guy. Yes, $ is a concern, and I mentioned that previously in the thread.

Then again, I dont really see how Mike Minor was a top 10 pick either.

[Bobbob1313]

So when you bring this up 45 times every season we'll know it's based on fucking nothing?

[Todd]

Its not based on nothing, and I dont know how you can imply that.

[Bobbob1313]

Because you are a silly person and you've never seen either of them pitch and yet you are goingto make it your mission to be obnoxious about them picking James over Miller.

Where have I been obnoxious about it?

Any info on minor league camp/ training

btw, for those interested, I re-did my list from earlier for Marlin Maniac, and cleaned it up to include pictures and make it more coherent.

#1 Stanton
#2 Dominguez
#3 Morrison
#4 Smolinski
#5 Cousins
#6 Gaby
#7 Petersen

And why they were left off:

Ozuna
Skipworth
Galloway

[Bobbob1313]

Smolinski doesn't get a lot of respect from a lot of places.

If you do a google search for Mike Stanton, my piece on him comes up on the first page.

/feels special

won't last long, since once he's added to the 40 man, his player pages at yahoo/espn/ect will fill it up

It's also cuz in actuality, they do that one thing where it's like "did you mean Mike Stanton Marlins." For that one, my piece comes up as the third option, so that's why it appears on the first page. In actuality, for just Mike Stanton, it's on the third page. but oh well
