Adam Wainwright and Josh Johnson: Injuries Moving Forward
For all the time, energy, and late nights that we work on our pre-draft rankings there are certain things that are just unknown to us. One of those variables is injury status, and 2011 that was no exception — especially for two top tier pitchers. Adam Wainwright was out for the season when forced to [...]
Game Report: Edgar Olmos, P, Florida Marlins
In seeing Olmos pitch, it was a tale of two pitchers as he cruised through the first four innings only to fall apart in the fifth before being pulled. And while his final line of 6 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings was uninspiring, I saw glimpses of a pitcher capable of being a top-10 prospect within the organization when lists are released after the 2011 season.
Game Report: Kyle Skipworth, C, Florida Marlins
Since being drafted sixth overall by the Florida Marlins in 2008, Kyle Skipworth has struggled to establish himself as a legitimate prospect in the eyes of scouts, as well as the Florida Marlins system. Having heard many a dig from scouts and prospect analysts alike, I simply could not pass up the opportunity to see Skipworth in person late in the 2010 season. And while I left feeling “Skip” was a little better than the information I had received, I can easily understand the motivation behind them considering a number of prospects drafted behind him would already be in Miami.
Prospect Video: Matt Dominguez, 3B, Florida Marlins
I had the opportunity to catch Matt Dominguez a couple of times late in the 2009 season. While not as good a prospect as Logan Morrison or Mike Stanton, Dominguez was impressive both in the field and at the plate. He has adjustments to make, but has the skill set to become an above average [...]
Prospect Video: Mike Stanton, OF, Florida Marlins
The most impressive power hitting prospect I have had the opportunity to see, this footage of Marlins prospect Mike Stanton is from late 2009 during a game where the Carolina Mudcats seemed more than happy to pitch around Stanton. Luckily, I was able to catch Stanton again during the Southern League playoffs where he flashed [...]
Prospect Video: Logan Morrison, 1B, Florida Marlins
One of the premier first base prospects in the game, I had the opportunity to catch Logan Morrison a couple of times last season in Jacksonville. With my crazy work schedule, I was unable to put together a full report on him in a timely fashion and have held back for fear the information may [...]
Scouting Report: Mike Stanton, OF, Florida Marlins
As the 2009 “Sally” season came to a close, baseball was still being played in Jacksonville as the AA Marlins affiliate made the Southern League playoffs. After seeing Mike Stanton not put a ball in play (3 walks, 1 strikeout) a month earlier, I felt compelled to take a second look. While I can not [...]
