@generic: I think Top 50 would be a more realistic, probably mid 30s. Darnell needs to progress two levels next year for him to be a stud, but Decker will be a stud if he can repeat '09 in '10.

Jaff Decker & James Darnell could and should be flat out studs.

Decker deserves Top 30 consideration for all of the minor leagues next year, in my opinion.

@Andre Ethier’s Mom: Was surprised Stephen didn't mention Nadir Bupkus. Thought he was the Padres top prospect. @Steve: Always imitated, never duplicated... Because of his passing I went on one of those scavenger hunts through Google looking for info. You know, you start looking at one thing then you realize two hours later you just found out about every wrestler that died in the last year. RIP Playboy Buddy Rose.

@Grey: That was awesome. Even the Hammer was just about sniggering. I remember the Captain from Inside Wrestling magazine in the 70s...

Padres are a mess btw. I guess at least they’re not the Pirates.

@Brandon Inge: Hehe

@Steve: Was very sad to hear that. I hung a rubber band from my ‘stache in his honor. Check out this classic video:

I saw Jaff and his teammates play this postseason against the Great Lakes Loons (Dodgers’ affiliate). Had a chance to heckle Jaff for his name. (Dee Gordon’s theme song is “shake your laughy taffy” so I yelled “shake your laffy jaffy” while sitting behind Decker in leftfield.
