It's only right that I start his thread.

John Sickels #15 prospect
Off to a shaky start so far in New Orleans .261/.404/.326. Only 1 XBH (a HR) in 46ab. That OBP doe.

I really started this so I could post this picture of how Iowa played him defensively last night:

Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 55 | Run: 20 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45
The Marlin selected Bour from the Cubs in the Triple-A portion of the 2013 Rule 5 Draft, and he had the best season of his career in his first year with his new organization. He made his Major League debut, in addition to setting career highs in batting average, slugging percentage and OPS.
Big and strong, Bour produces significant power. He's slowly improved his approach throughout his Minor League career, cutting down the amount of swing-and-miss in his game. He remains more effective against right-handers, which could ultimately limit him to a platoon player. He's also made strides on defense and, despite his size, he's a solid fielder.
Coming off his impressive year at Triple-A, Bour entered the 2015 season in a position to soon help the Marlins in the big leagues.

15) Justin Bour, 1B, Grade C/Borderline C+: Age 26, Rule 5 pick from the Cubs system where he usually hit well but was overshadowed by other prospects. Hit .306/.372/.517 last year for Triple-A New Orleans, .284/.361/.365 in 74 at-bats for the Marlins. Huge guy at 6-5, 270, but has legitimate left-handed power and has closed up eye and feel for the strike zone. Should be a workable role player.
