diehard has released 2 more names on their top 50. Papelbon is a soft tossing, sidearmer who led his team in saves. He throws mid 80s with a curve and change int he 60s. He expects to be moved slowly, and will be sent to A-Greenville to start the yr.
Still was drafted last yr as a catcher in the 4th round and had a horrible first season, but finished strong to get his average over .200 for the season. He will likely start in low A.
I'd post the Dugout for Papelbon again, but I'm too lazy.
That's why i problem with Scout.com. Neither Still or Papelbon are among the Sox top 50 prospects. Papelbon don't trown any harder than in the low 80's (remember this a player that was passed by all ML organizations for almost 48 rounds) The key for Jon Still its his bat and he didn't show much of it in Lowell last year, as a catcher his receiving and throwing arm are way below average, with Luis Esposito and Jon Egan more than likely beig the catchers in Greenville, Still will more than likely return to Lowell.
i dont think ill ever see those 2 in the majors
very unlikely.Originally Posted by ANiMAL;220272;
#44 and #43 are out. They are Zach Daeges and Dustin Richardson
That is a bit low for Richardson and too high for Daeges.
I heard that Scout.com doesn't have Carlos Fernandez among the Sox top 50 prospects, if thats true this list is a joke.
They do seem like a bunch of tards...
42 is Felix Doubront
41 is Tim Cox
LOL. Tim Cox is a border line top 50 prospect and Doubront is a top 15 prospect.
