2012 Community Prospect Rankings: Billy Quix steals the number 3 spot

Billy_hamilton_540_medium

via cincinnati.com

In a turn of events that should surprise no one, Billy Hamilton is the RR 3rd ranked prospect. Personally, I had him at #2, due to his blazing speed and switch hitting ability. He's still essentially a lottery ticket at this point, but if he gets it together, isn't he a less powerful Jose Reyes? I think I'd take that.

I'm expecting a tighter race today to close out the week. No new choices today, go and get it done!

Star-divide

Daniel Corcino, RHP, 21, BA-#4
(Dayton) 3.42 ERA, 139.1 IP, 156 K, 34 BB, 1.163 WHIP

Pros: Excellent fastball-slider combo, elite strikeout numbers, and excellent control, especially for a young pitcher
Cons: Slightly undersized (5'11", 165), needs to prove durability by throwing over 150 innings

Todd Frazier, UT, 26, BA-#7
(Louisville) .260/.340/.467/.807, 15 HR, 46 RBI
(Cincinnati) .232/.289/.437/.726, 6 HR, 15 RBI

Pros: Shown an ability to hit for power, lots of XBH too. Versatile on defense. Good clubhouse guy. Cool nickname and at-bat music.
Cons: Doesn't really have a set position, and isn't above average anywhere. Plate discipline is suspect.

Mariekson "DiDi" Gregorius, SS, 21, BA-#6
(Bakersfield) .303/.333/.457/.790, 5 HR, 28 RBI
(Carolina) .270/.312/.392/.704, 2 HR, 16 RBI

Pros: Excellent athlete, has the tools to be a well above average defensive SS. Very good contact skills.
Cons: Very aggressive plate approach, little in-game power so far. Still young, but needs his athleticism to translate into offensive numbers.

Yorman Rodriguez, OF, 19, BA-UR
(Dayton) .254/.318/.393/.711, 7 HR, 40 RBI

Pros: Tool shed--Chance for above average power, speed, contact skills, and defense.
Cons: Durability--has only played 122 games total the last 2 seasons. Very raw both at the plate and in the field.Very aggressive plate approach.

Neftali Soto, 1B, 23, BA-#8
(Carolina) .272/.329/.575/.904, 30 HR, 76 RBI
(Louisville) .412/.444/.588/1.032, 1 HR, 4 RBI

Pros: Breakout season last year, finally showing the bat to profile at 1B. More raw power than anyone in the system not named Juan Francisco. Still relatively young given his level.
Cons: Strikes out a lot, doesn't walk a lot. Didn't get going until about July last season. Can he sustain that production for a whole year?

J.C. Sulbaran, RHP, 22, BA-#9
(Bakersfield) 4.60 ERA, 137 IP, 155 K, 50 BB, 1.39 WHIP

Pros: Very solid 3-pitch repertoire, with an above average FB and a solid CH and CU. Above average stuff leads to high Ks, and he significantly improved on his previously spotty control in 2011.
Cons: Some question about his unorthodox mechanics remain, although he smoothed them out in 2011. Somewhat of an injury history. Mainly, he needs to repeat his strong season in AA in 2012.

Robert Stephenson, RHP, 18, BA-#5
No Professional Stats

Pros: Good size, outstanding velocity (has hit 97), good control, and a potential plus curveball. Supposedly has a very good makeup.
Cons: As a high school pitcher with no pro experience, he's about as risky of a prospect as there is. Can he avoid injury, develop his secondary pitches, and consistently get professional hitters out?

Given the population at RR, I think he should be favored to win at this point

I actually voted for JC Sulbaran, but that is because I am voting based on a random number generator. Even without me, I am hopeful there are enough other dicks to push Hamilton to his 2nd straight win.

Of course, either way people making right turns on red will try to run you down, then blow their horn and glare at you when they fail.

Yellow Springs is nice.

And they have good ice cream. In the 1990’s they had a good record store, too.

there is a new record store there now that is decent

Toxic Beauty Records The guy that owns it is a buddy of mine.

Yellow Springs is fun, though I’d rather go in the summer time when its hot and you can hike up to the springs and drink straight water from the source.

I'm friends with the owner of Dingleberry's

Which has, sadly, closed. But the thing my lady friend liked best about her visit to Ohio were the goats at Young’s Dairy. Check ’em out!

My buddies and I got real chummy with the dude who ran Sour Records in Westerville

when we were in school. Sadly, it closed. Now he works at a guitar shop down the street. We always stop and visit with him when we all get together for our annual drankin’ reunion.

Kind of a funny little town. You might into Dave Chapelle.

the ocean is also dirty i’m sure, but it doesn’t have that horrible smell.

also, the water is generally clear so it seems cleaner

We've been camping at Van Buren State Park in South Haven, MI

The campsite is nice with a private beach that you can walk to, and South Haven is super cute, the lake is beautiful, 5-6 hours from Cincy.

Those are my girls on the pier ^

And one on the beach:

That looks awesome.

I’ve only made it up there once, and it was to the Canadian side of Lake Huron. The weather, scenery, and lake couldn’t have been more beautiful…makes me wonder why it’s been so long since I’ve been back.

And would consider a Kia if I lived near that dealership and had no car and no kids and no wife to tell me “no.”
