Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012
>> Going for Baroque. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's ode to Sicily for Fall 2012 was elaborate, romantic — and simply lovely to behold. On a runway dressed with giant chandeliers and an ornate gold frame, the designers sent out capes, dresses, and nipped-in coats — all in a palette of black, white, and gold — and each more decadently adorned than the last. There were black velvet capes decorated with gold filigree-style embroidery, frothy blouses trimmed with ruffles of sheer chiffon, and bell-shaped dresses printed with lush floral and cherub motifs.

Now I hate to rain on anyone's parade following the excellent news of the vote taking Palestine from being classified as a "non-member observer entity" to a "non-member observer state". It's very good news as it means that Palestine can sign treaties and join such bodies as the International Criminal Court (ICC). But perhaps some parade ground raining is in order before people make unwarranted assumptions and statements about what the court is and what it can and cannot do.

On Each End of the Rifle |
By: Peterr Saturday January 1, 2011 9:30 am |
The title here comes from a John McCutcheon song used in a video done as a 6th grade class project. To judge by this video, somewhere out there is a teacher named Mr. Cutler who is doing a very, very good job. The students were studying World War I, and they combined vivid and powerful images of that war and the ongoing war in Iraq with an equally powerful song by folk singer John McCutcheon called "Christmas in the Trenches."
On this New Year's morning, may peace be upon you all.
Thoughts on Abraham Lincoln and the First Thanksgiving |
By: Peterr Thursday November 25, 2010 9:00 am |
For me this year, I think I'll skip the discussions of pilgrims and native Americans dining at Plymouth. I'm more caught up in the shift from Thanksgiving as a bunch of local harvest festivals to Thanksgiving as a national holiday — an act undertaken in the midst of the bloody battles of the Civil War. Indeed, on this day of thanksgiving in the midst of massive economic turmoil, I give thanks for those things which transcend haves/have nots or winners/losers, and bind us together in our shared humanity.

Bank of America has been named Villain Number One by many of the Occupy protesters (not to mention most of the other 99%). Bank of America has played a central role in the housing disaster. They bought subprime mortgage giant Countrywide Financial back in 2008. Of the $750 Billion in loans, about $250 Billion are in foreclosure. Deemed "too big to fail," Bank of America was given billions in taxpayer money and trillions, yes trillions, in emergency loans.

Welcome to the fourth annual edition of my rankings of the top 100 prospects in baseball. With a slew of impressive debuts from top prospects in 2010, including the top five prospects from this list last year (Jason Heyward, Stephen Strasburg, Buster Posey, Carlos Santana, and Mike Stanton), the top of the rankings has an entirely different look to it, with most of the high-upside minor leaguers still working in A ball last year.
The rankings are limited to players who still have rookie eligibility; that means they have yet to exceed 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the majors and have not yet spent 45 days on the active roster of a major league club, excluding call-ups during the roster expansion period after Sept. 1. (One player affected by this is the Mets' Jenrry Mejia, who no longer qualifies as a rookie.) Only players who have signed professional contracts are eligible. When ranking players, I consider scouting reports on players -- usually my own, supplementing with conversations with other scouts and front-office executives as needed -- as well as performance, adjusted for age and context. I've made one adjustment in my ranking philosophy, favoring higher-upside prospects over lower-ceiling prospects who are closer to the majors. This better reflects how these players are valued now by front offices and scouting departments and gives me a chance to deliver more information on prospects whose names or scouting reports might be new to you.
I use the 20-80 grading scale in these comments to avoid saying "average" and "above average" thousands of times across the 100 player comments. On that scale, a grade of 50 equals major league average; 55 is above-average, 60 is plus, 45 is fringy or below-average, and so on. Mike Stanton has 80 raw power. Bengie Molina has 20 speed. An average fastball for a right-hander is 90-92, with 1-2 mph off for a lefty.
I've included last year's rank for players who appeared in the top 100 last offseason. An "ineligible" player (IE) was still an amateur at this time last January, whereas an "unranked" player (UR) was eligible but didn't make the cut. I've also tagged players who were on last year's sleepers list or list of 10 players who just missed the cut.
Rank | Player |
26 | Manny Machado |
Age: 18 (DOB: July 6, 1992) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: SS |
Organization: Baltimore Orioles Top '10 Level: A (Aberdeen) 2010 ranking: IE |
Machado was the best high school hitter in a thin 2010 Rule 4 draft, going third overall to the Orioles, but likely would have been a top-10 pick even in a more typical draft class. Machado is tall and athletic, with an excellent chance to hit in pro ball. He has strong, quick wrists, good rotation and excellent extension through his swing, clearing a slight bat wrap quickly once he gets his hands started. It's line-drive power now, but he's going to have more power down the road as he gets stronger. Machado has a 70 arm and good hands at shortstop, but his frame is so big that he might outgrow the position in a few years, although I think he has the raw ability to stay there if his body cooperates. He will need help with his footwork and needs to quiet down his game, both of which can come with pro instruction and will help him realize his potential to be an All-Star hitter who plays somewhere on the left side of the infield. |
Rank | Player |
27 | Jonathan Singleton |
Age: 19 (DOB: Sept. 18, 1991) Bats: Left Throws: Left Position: 1B/LF |
Organization: Philadelphia Phillies Top '10 Level: A (Lakewood) 2010 ranking: NR |
Singleton started out like a house on fire in low A, cooled off a little in July, then hit the wall in August as the length of the season caught up to him. He's put together physically, listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, but probably stronger than that already. Given experience, he should have no trouble going 150-160 games without fading. His swing is one of the best in the minors, with good hand speed, balance and rhythm at the plate, along with excellent hip rotation for future plus power. He can get out on his front foot too much, which will rob him of a little juice, but he gets great extension through the zone and, if he keeps his weight back, he should be a 25-30 homer guy at worst. He recognizes balls and strikes well but has a little trouble with offspeed stuff, especially from left-handed pitchers. He is an athletic defender at first base and probably will be well above average there in time, but the Phillies will test him in left field this year, a position he probably can handle but where he might be more of an average glove. Singleton should start 2011 in Clearwater, but between the gorgeous swing and patient eye at the plate, he is primed to head to Double-A by midyear if he gets off to the start I expect from him. |
Rank | Player |
28 | Mike Montgomery |
Age: 21 (DOB: July 1, 1989) Bats: Left Throws: Left Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Kansas City Royals Top '10 Level: AA (NW Arkansas) 2010 ranking: 75 |
Montgomery started slowly this past year and missed time with two stints on the DL for elbow soreness. But he showed huge stuff in the Arizona Fall League that might just mean those elbow problems are nothing to worry about. Montgomery will pitch around 92-95 mph and hits 97 frequently, but his fastball command comes and goes and he has a tendency to try to dial it up more often than he needs to, especially given the downhill plane he gets on the pitch. His changeup remains his best offspeed pitch, a plus offering with excellent arm speed and one he moves around the zone easily. His curve has improved substantially since March, up to the mid-70s with a little better definition, but it can get slurvy and he's still refining his feel for it. Montgomery's delivery generates good arm acceleration and he gets great extension out front, so while you can never be sure, it doesn't appear that his arm action is causing the elbow issues. Get him healthy and up to 150-plus innings this year, and he'll be on track to head up the Royals' rotation in a few years. |
Rank | Player |
29 | Miguel Sano |
Age: 17 (DOB: May 11, 1993) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: 3B |
Organization: Minnesota Twins Top '10 Level: Rookie (Gulf Coast) 2010 ranking: 97 |
Sano won't turn 18 until May, but his hitting tools would make him a top-five pick if he were just coming out of an American high school, with consideration for the top overall spot. He's a natural hitter, with very good balance and plus bat speed, and there will be power not too far down the road because he gets great leverage from his lower half. He has started to fill out quickly and is big enough that there's zero chance he remains at shortstop. And despite a 70 or better arm, there's a rapidly declining chance he sticks at third base, because he easily could end up at 240 pounds or more by the time he's in his mid-20s. He is a below-average runner but is agile enough that he'll work out somewhere in the field, perhaps right field because of his arm strength, and his bat will profile anywhere he plays, with average and potentially big-time power. |
Rank | Player |
30 | Jameson Taillon |
Age: 19 (DOB: Nov. 18, 1991) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Pittsburgh Pirates Top '10 Level: High school 2010 ranking: IE |
Taillon was the top high school arm in the 2010 draft by a pretty healthy margin -- when you sit at 93-97 mph and flash better as an 18-year-old with a starter's build, you're probably going to be the best prep pitcher in your draft class. Taillon is very physically advanced for a teenager, with a workhorse build and stuff to match, as his 83-87 mph slider has good tilt and gives him a swing-and-miss pitch right out of the chute. In high school, he had a tendency to overthrow by rushing through his delivery, pulling himself offline, flattening out his fastball, and making his slider finish up in the zone instead of down and away from right-handed hitters. The rushing is fixable, and even if he loses a little velocity, he can pitch at 92-95 and still project as an ace. He'll also have to develop his changeup, a pitch he didn't need often in high school, and he'll have to work on general command and make better use of his height to drive the ball down in the zone. He's raw in a number of ways, but the pure stuff and physicality are extremely exciting. |
Rank | Player |
31 | Devin Mesoraco |
Age: 22 (DOB: June 19, 1988) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: C |
Organization: Cincinnati Reds Top '10 Level: AAA (Louisville) 2010 ranking: UR |
Mesoraco went into 2010 as a busted first-round pick, with a composite .240/.311/.368 (BA/OBP/SLG) line across 2½ minor league seasons without ever being especially young for his level. That's out the window now after he mashed through two levels, repeating one from 2009, and ended the year with two weeks in Triple-A despite playing much of the second half with a badly bruised index finger. Mesoraco has above-average to plus power already, with strong hands and good hip rotation despite a slight hip drift before his hands get started. Behind the plate, Mesoraco struggled late in the year with receiving, although that might have been because of the finger issue -- he doesn't like to wear a glove or padding inside his catcher's mitt, so his left index finger took a beating -- while his arm strength is good enough to make up for a slow release. He profiles as an offensive catcher but one who clearly stays behind the plate even with fringy defense. He easily could see the big leagues by the end of the summer. |
Rank | Player |
32 | Kyle Gibson |
Age: 23 (DOB: Oct. 23, 1987) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Minnesota Twins Top '10 Level: AAA (Rochester) 2010 ranking: 89 |
Gibson is not the exciting top-of-the-rotation type of arm that most pitchers this high on the list represent, but he is extremely high-probability and could pitch above the level of his stuff because of his command and feel. He will show three solid-average pitches most nights and pounds the strike zone with all three. His fastball tops out at 94 mph or so, but his slider flashes above average and he can get ground balls with both pitches, keeping the ball out of the air on 57 percent of balls he allowed in play in 2010. Gibson is tall and still looks like he could pack some weight on his shoulders, perhaps adding a mile an hour or two to the fastball, and his arm action is easy and repeatable, which probably explains a lot of his above-average command and control. He is a midrotation starter with a No. 2 ceiling but is so close to major league-ready that he should get the call in 2011 and could have an effect down the stretch. |
Rank | Player |
33 | Derek Norris |
Age: 21 (DOB: Feb. 14, 1989) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Catcher |
Organization: Washington Nationals Top '10 Level: A (Potomac) 2010 ranking: 31 |
Norris has gotten something of a bad rep as a catcher, which could be the Nichols Law of Catcher Defense (the worse a catcher's bat, the better his defensive reputation) working in reverse, as Norris is fine behind the plate and won't have to move unless he gets hurt. He has an above-average arm with a quick enough release, and he's agile enough to block balls and be at least an average receiver. And that's all good news, because Norris can hit. He's always had outstanding plate discipline, and he pairs that with a sound swing with excellent rotation and upper-body strength that should produce above-average or better power down the road. His performance suffered in 2010 as he recovered from a broken hamate bone that occurred during instructional league the previous fall, an injury that can sap power for 12 to 18 months. Look for Norris to move up to Double-A this year and pick up where he left off in 2009, getting on base and hitting for power while playing adequate or better defense behind the dish. |
Rank | Player |
34 | Jarred Cosart |
Age: 20 (DOB: May 25, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Philadelphia Phillies Top '10 Level: A (Lakewood) 2010 ranking: UR |
Cosart has one of the best pure fastballs among minor league starters and was busy dismantling the South Atlantic League when his elbow started barking in June, leading the Phillies to shut him down and handle him very conservatively. His only game innings the remainder of the year came in the instructional league, where his velocity was intact, 95-98 mph with no arm trouble reported. When healthy, Cosart also throws a plus curveball with tight rotation and good depth, and his changeup projects as an average pitch although it's not there yet. His control is ahead of his command, especially when it comes to the two offspeed pitches, but his delivery shouldn't be an obstacle and he has the frame to be a 200-inning pitcher when he fills out. It's a pretty special package overall, with the potential to be in the top 10 this time next year if he has a full season without any more scares from his arm. Not bad for a 38th-round pick. |
Rank | Player |
35 | Jean Segura |
Age: 20 (DOB: March 17, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: 2B |
Organization: Los Angeles Angels Top '10 Level: A (Cedar Rapids) 2010 ranking: UR |
Segura has a chance to be a special bat, perhaps the player we thought Howie Kendrick would be, and might even do it as a shortstop if the Angels' attempt to shift him there sticks. Segura is a plus runner with a short, compact swing and excellent bat control, and he improved as the 2010 season went on, hitting .338/.390/.545 (BA/OBP/SLG) in the Midwest League after its all-star break. He needs to stay in his swing and avoid letting his back side collapse when trying to hit for power. He's an above-average runner who was still a work in progress at second. Since he wasn't set at that position, the Angels have experimented with him at shortstop, for which he has the feet and quickness but not the instincts. Perhaps the best news for Segura in 2010 was that he stayed healthy, more than doubling his career total in plate appearances after two injury-scarred seasons in the U.S. His ability to put the bat on the ball gives him a chance to advance as quickly as his glove will let him, and he should be a contributor with his legs as well. |
Rank | Player |
36 | Zack Wheeler |
Age: 20 (DOB: May 30, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: San Francisco Giants Top '10 Level: A (Augusta) 2010 ranking: 84 |
Wheeler missed a chunk of the first half of 2010 with a badly cracked fingernail that forced him to slightly alter the way he grips the baseball and hurt his control, but it had no effect on the quality of his stuff. Wheeler will sit at 90-94 mph and show 96 or better with a big, slow, but tight curveball in the low to mid-70s; he has been mixing in an above-average slider in the 85-89 range and will flash an average changeup, the one pitch for which he doesn't show great feel yet. Wheeler still is filling out physically and should have the workhorse, 220-inning build we expect from No. 1 starters, although I'm a little concerned about the stress his arm action might put on his shoulder. Overall he's an elite arm, with the potential for four average or better pitches including a plus fastball and the body to handle a big workload. |
Rank | Player |
37 | Brett Lawrie |
Age: 20 (DOB: Jan. 18, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: 2B |
Organization: Toronto Blue Jays Top '10 Level: AA (Huntsville) 2010 ranking: 47 |
Lawrie has one of the best right-handed swings in the minors, and he has added strength and power since last offseason while wearing out his welcome in Milwaukee and changing addresses in the Shaun Marcum trade. His swing is clean, and he has good hand speed. He uses his lower half well with good leverage and above-average raw power already at age 20. He's also an above-average runner who plays all-out all the time, so no one questions his work ethic. At second base, Lawrie is a hitter, and there's a better than even chance he will end up in the outfield, but the Blue Jays will see whether their outstanding infield coach, Brian Butterfield, can make second or even third base work. Lawrie did acquire a reputation as a difficult player who didn't like to take instruction in Milwaukee, but the slate is clean for him in Toronto, a club that coveted him since it missed out on him in the 2008 draft. The Blue Jays believe they now have the Canadian-born star they've been seeking. |
Rank | Player |
38 | Anthony Rizzo |
Age: 22 (DOB: Aug. 8, 1989) Bats: Left Throws: Left Position: 1B |
Organization: San Diego Padres Top '10 Level: AA (Portland) 2010 ranking: 53 |
Rizzo is a plus-fielding, plus-makeup, power-hitting first baseman, a potential Adrian Gonzalez Lite kind of player if he can improve his performance against left-handed pitching. Rizzo is still quite young and will play most of 2011 at age 21, but he already has handled Double-A pitching well, showing increasing power as he gets older and stronger after missing most of 2008 while fighting Hodgkin's lymphoma. At the plate, Rizzo has a simple, easy stroke that generates mostly line drives, although he's showing more ability to stay back and drive the ball out to right. His plate discipline remains borderline before you consider his age, and he'll have to close the gap between his performances against left- and right-handed pitchers. But there's still a lot of development time for Rizzo with the ultimate long-term ceiling of a fringe All-Star at first base. |
Rank | Player |
39 | Lonnie Chisenhall |
Age: 22 (DOB: Oct. 4, 1988) Bats: Left Throws: Right Position: Third base |
Organization: Cleveland Indians Top '10 Level: AA (Akron) 2010 ranking: 26 |
Chisenhall started slowly with a troublesome shoulder that put him on the DL in May, but after his return, he hit more in line with expectations, putting up a .284/.359/.493 (BA/OBP/SLG) line in 401 plate appearances the rest of the way, excellent numbers for a 21-year-old in Double-A. He has one of the prettiest swings in the minors, along with Mike Moustakas, with a direct path, easy hip rotation and above-average power already. His hand-eye coordination is good, leading to lots of hard line-drive contact. Chisenhall's pitch recognition is noticeably worse against left-handers, and he struggled with major league velocity when I saw him in March (possibly the result of the shoulder problem), so odds are he's a year-plus away from major league production. Chisenhall has a special swing and he's going to be very productive with an average glove at third. |

40 | Chris Archer |
Age: 22 (DOB: Sept. 6, 1988) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Tampa Bay Rays Top '10 Level: AA (Tennessee) 2010 ranking: UR |
Acquired in the Matt Garza trade along with fellow top-100 prospect Hak-Ju Lee, Archer has been through this before, going from the Cleveland organization to the Cubs in the Mark DeRosa trade. After a breakout year in Chicago's system, he projects as a No. 2 starter or power reliever depending on how well his changeup develops. He'll pitch at 93-95 mph in the rotation, holding it for seven-plus innings. And despite a high arm slot that looks more conducive to a curveball, he throws a plus-plus 85-88 mph slider that has helped him rack up strikeouts in the minors. He gets great downhill plane on the fastball but has generated only moderate ground ball rates. His main issues now are a fringe-average changeup and below-average control, although nearly a third of his walks at Double-A came in just two disastrous starts. If the command doesn't improve or left-handed hitters start hitting him because he doesn't have an average third pitch, he'll go to the bullpen, but he's young and athletic enough to continue his recent improvement. |

Age: 20 (DOB: July 10, 1990) Bats: Left Throws: Left Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Kansas City Royals Top '10 Level: AA (Northwest Arkansas) 2010 ranking: Sleepers |
Lamb sits above all other top Kansas City prospects as a testament to the Royals' amateur scouting staff. His senior year of high school was ruined by a car accident that kept him off the mound and pushed down his draft stock. The Royals stuck with him, took him in the fifth round, paid him less than slot and ended up with a prospect who's pitching like a former first-round pick. He took a while to get going in 2009, but in 2010 he showed three average to above-average pitches all year, pitching at 90-91 mph and touching 93 with a curve and changeup and above-average command of all three pitches. The change remains his worst pitch, and his platoon split grew as he moved up the ladder. He repeats his delivery very well with a consistent arm slot, and there's no physical reason he can't throw a good straight or circle change given time. He doesn't have Mike Montgomery's ceiling but he has the highest probability of any of the Royals' top arms. |

42 | Jordan Lyles |
Age: 20 (DOB: Oct. 19, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Houston Astros Top '10 Level: AAA (Round Rock) 2010 ranking: 60 |
Lyles was the second-youngest pitcher in the Texas League in 2010, six months older than Martin Perez but with an ERA nearly three runs lower. He even slid up to Triple-A to set himself up for a potential call-up late in 2011. He remains a little under the radar because he is in the Astros' system and doesn't pitch with a big fastball, sitting at 89-92 mph and showing a little better with a curve, a cutter-slider and a plus changeup that had him better against left-handed batters in Double-A than against right-handers. His command of his fastball and changeup is above-average, but he's still working on his feel for the two breaking pitches, and it's hard to project him as a No. 1 with only the change as a potential out pitch. However, the Astros surely would take him as a future No. 2 who's on the cusp of the majors at age 20, the best pitching prospect their system has produced since the days of Roy Oswalt. |

Age: 21 (DOB: Sept. 12, 1989) Bats: Left Throws: Right Position: 1B |
Organization: Atlanta Braves Top '10 Level: Majors 2010 ranking: 67 |
Freeman keeps performing even though he is young for his levels and doesn't possess any plus tools to get you excited. He is a big kid with a very good feel for the bat, and he's extremely short to the ball despite long arms; that produces a lot of hard contact without big power, which might require a significant change to how he uses his lower half. He never has been a high-walk guy, either -- 45 is his single-season high in pro ball, excluding intentionals -- although he consistently hits for high enough averages that his OBPs are good. He is an above-average defensive first baseman and is ready to step in right now as Atlanta's regular first baseman, so the lack of ceiling is mitigated by the fact that he can provide value right away. |

44 | Zach Stewart |
Age: 24 (DOB: Sept. 28, 1986) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Toronto Blue Jays Top '10 Level: AA (New Hampshire) 2010 ranking: 55 |
The industry remains split on whether Stewart is a starter or a power sinker/slider reliever, but I still don't see a good reason to remove him from the future rotation, as he's a four-pitch guy who can miss bats and get groundballs. Stewart will pitch in the low 90 mph range but touches 96, and his fastball has both sink and tail to it. His slider is his best offspeed pitch, tight at 83-87 with good tilt, and he commands the pitch well, throwing it to both sides of the plate. His changeup improved substantially as the year went on, 81-85, straight, but with excellent arm speed. His curve has good depth but he doesn't command it well and it's not as tight as the slider. He stays over the rubber before driving forward with a long stride, although his arm action is a little long in the back and he pronates relatively late in the delivery. His fastball movement has limited his control, and he'll have to work on cutting down on free passes, but there's No. 2 starter potential here, No. 3 at worst, as long as he can throw enough strikes. |

45 | Jose Iglesias |
Age: 21 (DOB: Jan. 5, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Shortstop |
Organization: Boston Red Sox Top '10 Level: AA (Portland) 2010 ranking: 91 |
Iglesias is the best defensive shortstop prospect I've ever seen. He's not the fastest or most athletic, but he's the one most able to make plays and to take difficult plays and make them look routine. There's not much flash to Iglesias' fielding; he gets in position, the ball disappears into his glove and it's on its way to first base before your eyes have even adjusted from watching the ball on the ground. His hands and instincts are plus. He is not wide-ranging like an Ozzie Smith but will surprise with how many ground balls he reaches despite average-at-best running speed. Iglesias' swing is direct with good bat speed, and he has a little pop when he gets his arms extended, although in Fenway that probably will mean lots of doubles off the Monster but few home runs. He needs to avoid barring his lead arm, and so far he hasn't shown much patience although he has shown he can make a lot of contact. If he can draw 50 walks a year or hit .300 regularly, he's an All-Star, and if not, he's still an above-average regular because of the potential value of his defense. |

46 | Jaff Decker |
Age: 20 (DOB: Feb. 23, 1990) Bats: Left Throws: Left Position: LF/RF |
Organization: San Diego Padres Top '10 Level: A (Lake Elsinore) 2010 ranking: 27 |
Decker began 2010 on the DL with a hamstring injury, came back in mid-May, went 4-for-his-first-40 and then got back to his old self, hitting .288/.401/.544 (BA/OBP/SLG) until he broke his hand Aug. 18, ending his season. Decker is just about all bat, even though he's surprisingly athletic for his body type, running average to above-average once he's underway, and he has a grade 55 or 60 arm. He has a compact swing with good bat speed, resulting in loud, hard contact. His plate discipline has been off the charts since his first day in a pro uniform. He's probably going to end up in left field because he won't be able to cover right field in Petco, although in a smaller park he could handle right field because he has the arm strength for it. Decker will play all of 2011 at age 21, likely in the pitchers' park in Double-A San Antonio, putting him on track for a late 2012 or early 2013 debut, with the upside of a Daric Barton with more pop. |

47 | Arodys Vizcaino |
Age: 20 (DOB: Nov. 13, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Atlanta Braves Top '10 Level: A (Rome) 2010 ranking: 43 |
Vizcaino was on track to end 2010 in the top 20 before a partially torn elbow ligament knocked him out for two months, although he did return to throw two innings for low A Rome in the season's final week. When healthy -- and it's not clear whether we can say Vizcaino is right now -- he will show plus velocity up to 96 mph and an above-average curveball, along with outstanding control. He didn't walk a batter in his final 40 innings in low A. He does have great arm speed, but he doesn't use his lower half much to generate it. Vizcaino comes from a slot under three-quarters and tends to get on the side of the ball as well as giving left-handed hitters a slightly better look at it out of his hand. He does have that pesky tear, and while it didn't require surgery last year, further tearing probably will put him on the shelf for at least a half-season if not more. He's not a huge guy, and between the arm slot and elbow tear, there's at least some reason to think he could head for the bullpen, at which point he'd probably sit mid-90s and profile as a top-tier setup man or closer. If he holds up, however, he has premium starter stuff and would slot in as a No. 1A behind Julio Teheran's No. 1 in a rotation of Atlanta's starting pitching prospects. |
Rank | Player |
48 | Wilmer Flores |
Age: 19 (DOB: Aug. 6, 1991) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Shortstop |
Organization: New York Mets Top '10 Level: A (St. Lucie) 2010 ranking: 41 |
Flores can rake, as you can see from his performance as a true 18-year-old (he didn't turn 19 until four weeks before the end of the season) in two full-season, A-ball leagues in 2010. There's zero chance he remains at shortstop despite a lanky build because his feet aren't quick and overall he's not very athletic. There's a non-zero chance for him at third base, since he has enough arm strength and his hands work well, although right field or first base is probably a safer bet. But his bat should profile at any position because of his quick wrists, short path to the ball and strong follow-through with good loft for future power as he fills out. He'll eventually need to show more patience, but his 2010 walk total isn't a big concern because of his youth -- the next-youngest position player with more than a handful of at-bats in the Florida State League was 11 months older than Flores. The most realistic long-term projection for Flores has him in a corner position, hitting for average with plus power and a league-average OBP, but he's young enough to exceed even that level. |
Rank | Player |
49 | Hak-Ju Lee |
Age: 20 (DOB: Nov. 4, 1990) Bats: Left Throws: Right Position: Shortstop |
Organization: Tampa Bay Rays Top '10 Level: A (Peoria) 2010 ranking: UR |
The Cubs have committed heavily to scouting Korean amateur players and paying them what it takes to get them to forgo a career in Korea's professional leagues. Lee was the biggest prize they'd landed so far, and they sent him to the Rays in a trade forMatt Garza this January. Lee is still a lot of projection, but he has the potential for four above-average or better tools with fringe-average to average power once he reaches his mid-20s. At the plate, Lee has outstanding hand speed and bat control, shown in his contact rate, which was well above league average even though he was among the 10 youngest regulars in the Midwest League this past year. He's a 70 runner who shows good instincts on the bases, and those quick feet and a plus arm give him the potential to be an impact glove as well. He should fill out quite a bit physically, but the swing path is flat and geared for line drives, not power, so I don't see him hitting 20 homers in a season unless that changes. Lee also came into pro ball with less experience than an 18-year-old American kid would have, making his performance to date all the more impressive. He's still several years away from the majors, but I think he's one of the more exciting prospects in the low minors. |
Rank | Player |
50 | Randall Delgado |
Age: 20 (DOB: Feb. 9, 1990) Bats: Right Throws: Right Position: Pitcher |
Organization: Atlanta Braves Top '10 Level: Double A (Mississippi) 2010 ranking: 85 |
Delgado doesn't get the hype of hard-throwing Julio Teheran or former Yankees farmhand Arodys Vizcaino, but he's a solid prospect in his own right, with some serious upside if his breaking ball improves. He has a loose arm that runs the fastball up to 96 mph, while he'll sit solid-average at 90-94, and he's still very projectable physically. His changeup is above average, but the curveball still lags behind, meaning he lacks a pitch that moves away from right-handed hitters. He's also still working on finding a consistent arm action and with it more consistent command, although he can at least boast of low walk totals. He has a chance to be a No. 2 or 3 starter if the curveball improves, and he's young enough and athletic enough to make that happen, but he won't get there as primarily a two-pitch guy. |

Everybody gets morning glory. No big deal.
He came from it.
Its not awkward, and he's about to go through puberty - he's going to need stuff like this. Not, um, nudity, but discussions and explainations. Tell him what you know and what works, help him through. Be that brother, I guess.
Of course, it's an awkward situation, but I don't think you could have handled it much better.
Don't second guess this. You did what you could, and your son seems no worse for the experience.
Sounds like you handled it fine.
Really the only thing to add is, "Be careful who you show that off to".
I think you handled the situation well by the sounds of it. You're his father so there is no need to feel awkward.
I think you handled it fine except for the whole nudity thing. Put some shorts on around the kid.
I think you handled it very well. And don't put on shorts. You are both male, no need to cover.
I am reminded of when my son was three. He came out of his bedroom naked with a an erection and was batting it with his hand. "Look Daddy! It stands up!" I said, "That's nice, but you should play with it by yourself." He said, "OK!" and ran back to his room.
Can you be my Dad?! haha
That is awesome, JR. I'm sure the initial situation was very awkward (especially seeing the look on your son's face, haha) but you handled it SO well and wow, what a blessing it turned out to be as it opened up those great and very important conversations, and at the right age, too. I'm so glad that your son really appreciated those talks. That is going to serve you both as he gets older, knowing he can talk with you about anything. And it sounds like he's a chip off of the old block with his "bigger than you" remark, haha. I love it!
You handled that situation like a champ, Davis! :D (And so did your son, haha)

Family-friendly is the goal and that's exactly the kind of entertainment scheduled for the Riverbank Cheese and Wine Exposition, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8-9 on Santa Fe and Third streets in the heart of downtown Riverbank.
Oakdale voters will be faced with a decision on Nov. 8 that will help determine the city's finances for the next three years. Measure O will ask voters if they want to fund a half-cent sales tax increase on most purchases made within the City of Oakdale. The sales tax increase will go to Oakdale City general funds, which pays most of the city's expenses.
Upon the heels of Oakdale Rural Fire Protection District Chief Lee Winton's two-year term ending, negotiations have begun to bring on Steve Mayotte, Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District Chief, on a limited, part-time basis as an administrative chief to Oakdale's rural district but the rural fire company's labor group members have been vocal in their concern.
A need to further modernize and bring the Oakdale Irrigation District's technical capabilities up to higher standards were on the agenda at the Oct. 4 regular meeting of the Board of Directors.

Is it me, or can we not change the lock screens icons on ICS on the RAZR? I want a Handcent icon instead of the stock messaging icon on the lock screen. I have Googled it. There are videos of lock screen options on other devices on YouTube. But I don't seem to have that on my RAZR, or else I am overlooking it. If you can do it, if someone would post the steps, and tell me like I am a 5 year old, I would appreciate it. Thanks.
I figured it out. Manage Apps. Select the text app. Disable it. It will give you a warning about screwing up other apps. Tell it to do it anyway. Handcent will then be on your lock screen.
This is correct, the lock screen displays shortcuts to your DEFAULT text app. Once you "disable" the stock messaging app, it will display Handcent/Go SMS shortcut. To fix the MMS issue, you must go to your text app settings and tell it stock messenger app is deleted. In GO, Navigate to Settings > Advanced Tab > Important Tips > and check "Stock SMS Uninstalled". This forces GO SMS to handle MMS messages. Handcent has similar option.
The proceedure outlined by Rheeon worked beautifully. I had no problmes with not receiving MMS. Thanks anyway to the input by CivEngr

Fred Jackson expected to play
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Though C.J. Spiller is a question mark, the Buffalo Bills are expected to have running back Fred Jackson ready to play against the New England Patriots this weekend.
Coach Chan Gailey provided the encouraging update Thursday after Jackson made it through his second straight day of practice since spraining his right knee in a season-opening loss at the New York Jets on Sept. 9.
Bell: Week 4 Injury Update
The Bills say C.J. Spiller could play Sunday against the Patriots, but expect a healthy dose of Fred Jackson, writes Stephania Bell. Blog
Barring a setback, Gailey said he expects Jackson to play Sunday.
"Fred worked and worked well today, and there didn't seem to be any residual effect negatively from yesterday," Gailey said.
Gailey then reiterated what he said Monday, by noting he was still very optimistic of Jackson's chances of playing.
Gailey was far more cautious when discussing Spiller's status after the running back hurt his left shoulder in a 24-14 win at Cleveland last weekend.
Spiller returned to practice on Thursday, but worked only on a limited basis.
"He did OK," Gailey said. "It looked like he was moving well. And it looked like all of his range of motion was there. So we'll see where it takes us. I don't know where it's going."
That makes Jackson's return all that more meaningful to Buffalo (2-1) and its run-based offense which faced the possibility of being down its two top rushers in preparing to face AFC East rival New England (1-2).
Jackson would only say, "I feel good," after making his way off the field and heading to the training room for treatment.
AFC East blog
ESPN.com's James Walker writes about all things AFC East in his division blog.
That was an improvement after Jackson complained of soreness and swelling in his knee before practice.
"It was a little more sore than expected, but not too much," Jackson had said. "I'm more disappointed in the way that it feels today. I still want to play."
Jackson added that he still requires clearance from team doctors before he can suit up on Sunday.
"In my mind I play," he said. "But it's not always just totally up to me. But I feel like I can play right now."
Cornerback Leodis McKelvin returned to practice after he missed Wednesday's session because of a groin injury.
Though the Bills haven't entirely ruled out Spiller, it's regarded that he has a better opportunity to return next week, when Buffalo travels to play San Francisco.
"Do I feel I can play? I don't know," Spiller said. "It's still early. I've still got a couple of days before that decision is made. I'm just going to continue to take it day by day."
Spiller got off to a hot start in taking over after Jackson was hurt. He entered last week's game leading the NFL in both yards rushing (292) and yards from scrimmage (364). The 2010 first-round draft pick is off to such a hot start that his 10.1 yards per carry is the highest total two games into a season -- and with a minimum 25 carries -- since Jim Brown averaged 11.3 yards in 1963.

Danny Pudi has been recognized for his work on NBC's Community. But his life in Hollywood wasn't always so charmed.
For GQ's August comedy issue, we asked him about his strangest Los Angeles experience. Here, he tells us about 2007. Or what he calls "The Year of Sanjay."
Pudi writes:
Stereotypes happen. I try not to embrace them or avoid them. My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way. That being said, I did play three Sanjays in 2007. Yep. Three different Sanjays: one in a TV pilot, one in an independent film, and one in a cable show.*
Two 'Sanjays' might be a coincidence. Three 'Sanjays' is a flat-out trend. So what caused the '2007 Sanjay fever'? Was it the success of American Idol sensation 'Sanjaya'? Possibly. Well? Yes. But what concerns me more is something deeper, something sinister revealed within this data. Maybe when people look at me all they see is a 'Sanjay'. Like a 45-year-old woman with blonde hair, a fake tan, and long fingernails who works at a salon is probably a Debbie, am I a 'Sanjay'?
Here are some of the words used in the casting descriptions for 'Sanjay': "quirky", "mild-mannered", "placid facade", "virginal" and "allergic to dogs". Dangit. These words fit me. But in Sanskrit, the word 'Sanjay' actually means "Victorious", or "Conqueror". Hmmm, "Victorious Conqueror" doesn't exactly fit me, but my wife hopes that someday it will. Regardless of the reasons for 'Sanjay Fever', I have learned that a name can only reveal so much. Though people might find comfort in naming me Raj, Arash or Sanjay, I know that I can be more than a 'Quirky Virgin'; I can also be a 'Victorious Conqueror' (someday). After all, my real name is Daniel, and I am named after a Polish rock star.
*I auditioned for a 4th Sanjay in 2007 but ultimately lost the role to a friend.

First-of-its-kind report finds that street forms of "synthetic marijuana" products linked to thousands of hospital emergency departments visits each yearSAMHSA
December 4, 2012
Street forms of synthetic cannabinoids – so-called "synthetic marijuana" – were linked to 11,406 of the 4.9 million drug-related emergency department (ED) visits in 2010, according to a new report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Commonly known by such street names as "K2" or "Spice," synthetic cannabinoids are substances that are not derived from the marijuana plant but purport to have the same effect as the drug. The report found that youths between the ages of 12 to 29 constituted 75 percent of all hospital ED visits involving synthetic cannabinoids, with males accounted for 78 percent of the ED admissions among this age group. The average age for people involved in synthetic cannabinoid-related ED admissions was younger than for marijuana-related ED visits (24 years old versus 30 years old).

(ATLANTA, GA) -- The newest location of John Cornetta's chain of video stores survived another round of protests on Saturday. The store located on a major highway in a large business district in Norcoss, GA, and has been picketed recently by neighbors and religious groups. About 150 locals carrying multicolored signs walked back and forth around the perimeter of the club. Some people were sporting digital cameras taking pictures of the license plates and faces of the patrons and people supporting the cause of the store. Coincidently many of the protesting wore PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) t-shirts. The Love Shack provided music and food and drink for any of the supporters and welcomed the protestors as well. Rick C. Limpert is Atlanta based and is an independent contributor to AINews.
