Jim;

Speaking of beans - I saw the White Sox AAA players in action last night as the Charlotte Knights lost to the Indianapolis Indians (Pittsburgh affiliate).? Josh Fields was unimpressive 1 for 4. Mike Restovich hit a home run but muffed an easy pop fly in the OF.? C Tyler Flowers was 2 for 4 with a double.? And although SS?Brent Lillibridge is listed at 5'11" he looked like a little kid out there.? Newly acquired Indy player (and former Mariner) Jeff Clement was the MVP with a game winning HR in the 7th.

Mark, 

I don't suppose your reaction has anything to do with the fact that many of the guys that I own off of the list came from you.? I'd have expected you to be happy for me.? ;-) 

For what its worth, the post was intended to provide interesting information to the many other teams that have prospects on the Top 50 lists.??But, I'll be happy to leave you and Brad Lee off of future posts of this sort.

He'll be a force in 2015.

My apologies if you end up getting this a couple of different times, but I have been trying to send it out via announce at usml.net for the past few days.? Enjoy! 



Now that our 2009 season is officially over I figured it was time to talk about 2010 and the magic beans that have the potential to send the Damon to another happy owner. 

John Sickles (a name well known to members of DUMP) has come out with his July Prospects Update.? Baseball America has done the same.? So....where are the most fertile magic beans located?? Let's take a look: 

#3 - Jesus Montero - Berliners $2 - Rookie 
#5 - Chris Tillman - Brats - $5 - Year 1 
#7 - Brian Matusz - Berliners - $2 - Year 1 
#8 - Justin Smoak - Berliners - $2 - Rookie 
#9 - Neftali Feliz - Berliners - $2 - Rookie 
#10 - Desmond Jennings - RipTorns - $10 - Rookie 
#11 - Carlos Santana - Red Hots -?$1 - Year 1 
#17 - Brett Wallace - Free Agent 
#18 - Wade Davis - Calamari - $5 - Rookie 
#19?- Jake Arrieta - Berliners - $5 - Rookie 
#24 - Austin Jackson - Hoosiers - $5 - Rookie 
#26 - Matt LaPorta - Brats - $15 - Rookie 
#27 - Tim Beckham - Riptorns - $10 - Rookie 
#28 - Reid Brignac - Calamari?- $5 - Rookie 
#30 - Michael Bowden - Nukes - $5 - Rookie 
#35 - Lars Anderson - Berliners?- $5 - Rookie 
#36 - Mike Moustakas - Berliners -?$10 - Rookie 
#37 - Casey Kelly - Free Agent 
#38 - Adrian Cardenas - Nukes - $5 - Rookie 
#39 - Jeremy Hellickson - Klein Nine - $2 - Rookie 
#41 - Ben Revere - Klein Nine - $5 - Rookie 
#44 - Mike Montgomery - Free Agent 
#45 - Junichi Tazawa - Free Agent 
#47 - Lonnie Chisenhall - Free Agent 

How about Baseball America, you say? 

#3 - Jesus Montero - Berliners - $2 - Rookie? 
#4 - Justin Smoak - Berliners - $2 - Rookie 
#7 - Carlos Santana - Red Hots - $1 - Year 1 
#8 - Chris Tillman - Brats - $5 - Year 1 
#9 - Brian Matusz - Berliners - $2 - Year 1 
#13 - Neftali Feliz - Berliners - $2 - Rookie 
#16 - Wade Davis - Calamari? - $5 - Rookie 
#18 - Desmond Jennings - RipTorns?- $10 - Rookie 
#20 - Tim Beckham - RipTorns - $10 - Rookie 
#21 - Brett Wallace - Free Agent 
#22 - Matt LaPorta - Brats - $15 - Rookie 
#25 - Michael Saunders - $5 - Rookie 
Next 25, in no particular order: 
Lars Anderson - Berliners - $5 - Rookie 
Jake Arietta - Berliners - $5 - Rookie 
Lonnie Chisenhall - Free Agent 
Aaron Hicks - Berliners - $5 - Rookie 
Eric Hosmer - Berliners - $2 - Rookie 
Austin Jackson - Hoosiers - $5 - Rookie 
Casey Kelly - Free Agent 
Matt Moore - Free Agent 
Mike Moustakas - Berliners - $10 - Rookie 
Martin Perez - Free Agent 
Ben Revere - Klein Nine - $5 - Rookie 
Nick Weglarz - Hoosiers $5 - Rookie 

Conclusion....19 of the 24 Sickles top AL prospects are owned.? 7 by the Berliners.??Of those 19 owned prospects, only 1 has a $15 salary and only 3 have $10 salaries.? Of the?24 Baseball America top AL prospects, 19 are owned, 9 by the Berliners.? Again, only 1 player with a $15 salary and only 3 with $10 salaries.? Clearly we've all been doing our homework.? 

By the way, thank you for all the responses to my survey.? The feedback has been fascinating.? I'll post results and follow-up questions shortly.
