@Stephen: @Smokey: Thanks guys. This is good stuff. Anyone have the results of the Razzball mock? I'd be interested in looking if you guys are willing to share.

@Stephen: @Black Beard: I found this link for Liriano, thought you might like it in correlation with injury. It’s from Dec of 2003. It seems that Liriano missed much of the season with elbow problems. Enjoy.

@Black Beard: Sadly, I never actually saw him pitch due to not purchasing any cable television. However, I do believe he could sustain his performance into 2011.

@Stephen: Gotcha, thanks for that. I guess you watched him quite a bit this year. Do you think he can continue his improvement next season? Did he seem fully recovered?

By: Stephen

@Black Beard: IIRC, he didn't have any injuries prior to TJ. However, several commentators and scouts noted he had a high-torqued delivery that could raise flags before he had TJ. Several of his trips to the DL after TJ were the result of recovery from TJ too.

@Stephen: Thanks. My curiosity is how susceptible to injury he might be going forward. I know he had the TJ surgery in 06-07, and then some other issues in 2008 and 2009. That alone is worrisome, but not enough to completely avoid him. Did he have a history of injuries previous to that? Kinks in his delivery?

@Black Beard: The site I had in mind isn't currently paying their web host. I'm a Twins fan, maybe I could help.

I’m trying to do some research into Francisco Liriano’s injury history to prove a point to someone. I tried doing some internet searching but didn’t really come up with a thorough review. Anyone have any ideas on where to look or links?

1 spot left in the mock draft. Starts in 40 minutes.

By: Stephen

@pjtres: Than, in order: Beachy, Decker, Vizcaino, Mejia, Miller, Scheppers/Martin, Darnell.

@ stephen:

i get to keep them as long as they maintain their ‘prospect’ status (in our leage under 50 IP or 130 AB’s)

does that change your answer from Mejia, Martin, Scheppers, Decker, Darnel, Beachy

@Smokey: Garrison was still sent to their AFL affiliate back in October, that's all. I also constantly am trying to have more names on the upper end of the spectrum as fantasy baseball, typically, is always about the present.

@Stephen: Stephen, Good stuff as always. SD farm system looks like a bottom feeder to me(Even with trades) Some other names to consider are Ardys Portillo, Matt Lollis and Rymer Liriano. Also Steve Garrison is on the Yanks now. Always love your insight on prospects keep up the great work, are you still a plus one for the Razzball Winter extravaganza...HaHa.

@mr baseball: @Stephen: Kyle Blanks is like Mark Reynolds with twice as big a strike zone.....no thanks.

@GopherDay: I said as much the other day. I dont see why 1 min is excessive but thats me.

By: Stephen

Stephen — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 17:51:16 +0000

@pjtres: Do you get to keep them past this year? If not (not in order either): Mejia, Martin, Scheppers, Decker, Darnel, Beachy @GopherDay: I don't have my BA handbook with me, however, I would say he looks like a low Mid-Tier prospect with some power upside, a MI with 20/10 upside. The Indians don't have a Review for quite some time too. @mr baseball: I hear ya. @mr baseball: Concur with Quintero.

@Elijah: @Eddy: I was just looking over the ADP over at MDC...I am very underprepared for this! With only 45 seconds a pick, I may have a few blockheaded picks!

By: Elijah

Elijah — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 17:06:09 +0000

@Eddy: Its actually not the worst thing in the world, it probably gives a more accurate mock to have a couple fish in the sea than go with pure Greyheads.

By: Eddy

One last call for the razzball mock! We have two spots left at mock draft central. It’s taking place TODAY at 4pm EST!

If they arent taken up by razzballers the spots will have to be surrendered to…yahoo posters.

Ewwwz.

Mr Unknown who are your high impact players to come to the Major League System this year that you would want to have on your team come draft day – Both Pitching and Hitting

I will skip on the up and coming Padres 1stbasedudes – there are plenty to go around

All I wanted was 4 homeruns from Kyle Blanks last year – hey man he let me down – I don’t forgive that easy – let the die hard Padres fans draft him this year or Rudy Gamble draft him since they look a like

Stephen, what are your thoughts on Jason Kipnis? If there is a Cleveland Indians Minor League Review coming up soon, I can wait.
