Re: Minor league half way point top 30 sox prospects
In general I like Scaffold's list. But you HAVE to give some credit to guys who are putting up strong numbers especially if they are doing it in AA or above. That's where I think a guy like Jed Lowrie gets underrated. Tearing the cover off the ball in AA puts you above a guy who's not doing that well in low A, no matter their differing hitting mechanics. Lowrie HAS to be considered a better prospect than Chi right now. You have to rank Masterson higher too, because he has relatively outperformed guys like Chi and Place.
A question was asked of you before Scaffolds as to why we should take you seriously, when you have touted players that performed poorly while dissed players that have performed well and recommended that they be thrown away.
I understand that you think it is unfair that it seems that if the choice is between a Latin player performing badly and a Aussie performing badly that the Aussie gets the nod.
But you still have to answer for touting so many players that have turned out badly while advising that the Red Sox throw away players who have gone on to become productive major leaguers.
