@Stephen: You are deadly spot on about the fly-ball tendency of Bowden and the AL East. Unlike David Huff's 42.9FB% in Major, and 50+ GB% in AA and AAA, Bowden's year-to-year number did prove him a fly-ball pitcher, and there is no way he suddenly become a ground-ball pitcher like Huff suddenly became a fly-ball pitcher...

@inertiatic: No problem-o. I will get to work on one with the A's. I seem to just skip right over Billy Beane's jackpot of a farm system over in Oakland... I should be more observant and diligent without providing my own bias (however, I have only talked about one Twins player so far).

@SamYo: I don't know if that is a fair question (or one that I could give full justice too). I am going to say Posey by the hair on a prepubescent boy's chin. However, he may not be the #1 rated prospect in the land.

Great work as always Stephen. Better prospect, Wieters last year or Buster Posey this year ?

Stephen- Really enjoy these write ups. Great work.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on the top A’s prospects some time in the future. Guys like Aaron Cunningham, Adrian Cardenas, Jemile Weeks or Chris Carter. Carter seems like an especially intriguing young prospect. They say he’s got some good pop. Whatddya think?

@Billy: I'd hold Hanley, but I don't trust Reyes returning to his previous form.
