  • Prospect expert, ask me questions

    Tom by Tom . May 25, 2008 6:20 PM . Permalink

    I've read a ridiculous amount of scouting reports. Ask me about your favorite team's prospects or the guys from your keeper league I'll let you know what type of seasons they should put up down the line.

      You gotta realize most of Kennedy's value was tied into the team he played for. He only really projected as 3/4 in the rotation, but looked very polished last season and was thought to be an instant contributor with the offense behind him. He's not the type of guy that can use his stuff to get him out of a jam.

      I really can't tell you who better would be available in a 20 team league.

      I am not big on Brian Bannister, with his skill set he really only projects out to be a number 3, and he is low strike out option at that. Not to mention that being on the Royals further limits his fantasy value (they don't have the organizational depth to make the quick turns like the Rockies, DBacks or Rays).

      Adam Loewen I would have been big on two years ago, but repeated injuries, and a bad team playing in a bad division limit his value. He did have top of the rotation stuff before the injuries, but I haven't heard anything about how he looks or how he's throwing since the most recent injuries so I can't really judge though.

      Hochevar is a great prospect long term. You could look at his minor league numbers and be disappointed, but that was because he was working on improving certain pitches and parts of his delivery, which scouts say he has drastically. Right now he has a 5 pitch arsenal and should develop into an ace as his command improves.
