John Sickels 2008 Astros top 20

Houston Astros Top 20 Prospects for 2008

1. Troy Patton, LHP, Grade B+
2. J.R. Towles, C, Grade B (considering B+)
3.Felipe Paulino, RHP, Grade B
4.Bud Norris, RHP, Grade B- (looks like a breakthrough candidate to me)
5.Mike Costanzo, 3B, Grade B-
6.Michael Bourn, OF, Grade B- (seems like a cheat to list him but he doesn't have 150 at-bats)
7.Mitch Einertson, OF, Grade B- (borderline grade, could be C+)
8.Juan Gutierrez, RHP, Grade C+ (borderline, could flip to B-)
9.Brad James, RHP, Grade C+
10.Sam Gervacio, RHP, Grade C+
11.Chad Reinkie, RHP, Grade C+
12.Jordan Parraz, OF, Grade C+ (I've always liked him for some reason)
13.Josh Flores, OF Grade C+
14.Eli Iorg, OF, Grade C+
15.Collin DeLome, OF, Grade C+
16.Paul Estrada, RHP, Grade C+
17.Polin Trinidad, LHP, Grade C
18.Max Sapp, C, Grade C
19.Sergio Severino, LHP, Grade C
20.Koby Clemens, 3B, Grade C

Not a strong system, and I might have been too generous with some of those C+guys, who could be downgraded to regular C. Should I give Towles a B+?

看到Koby我笑了！　 不過他還年輕就是了．
去年就有這種情形了，墊檔的佔絕大部分．　當然今年比去年又更糟糕了，去年Pence還拿到A- ．　C族群也是在10名之後才出現 ~.~　明年他會更艱困，除非我們選秀真的有選到些大東西．
