The Elite Prospects: 2003 through 2006.
from minorleagueball

Last week, I looked at the Top 30 Position Players in 2011 (according to Fangraphs WAR) and how they were rated as prospects. Today I'm doing something slightly different, and looking at all prospects that I rated Grade A or A- between 2003 and 2006.


I'm not doing earlier years because the way I rated players in the old STATS Minor League Scouting Notebooks was slightly different than the way I do it in the Baseball Prospect Book. I'm not looking at years past 2006 because I want to look at guys who are firmly established. I am not looking at players who had lower ratings than Grade A- because I want to keep the focus manageable and looking just at the super-elite, top 20 type guys. Keep in mind that there is often not a lot of difference between a Grade B+ and a Grade A-.
First, here is how I define Grade A/A- prospects in my book.

The Tigers have released former 2nd round pick Cody Satterwhite. Stuff never came back after major shoulder surgery.

Dombrowski: excited to see where some of young arms (Smyly, Turner, Crosby) are at. Some in org think Smyly is ready to pitch @ MLB level.

If Tigers go outside org for fifth starter, more likely a trade than whats left on the FA market.

Pitchers and Catchers Report 2/19, start drills 2/20.

Dombrowski: We see Delmon as LF. We don't have a full-time DH right now.

Dombrowski reiterates that Prince is in prime of his career. First mention of Fielder making effort to be in "best shape of his career."

Raburn, Delmon most likely to be traded before season, IMO Rather keep RR myself (in the OF) but DY contract is hard to move.

Dombrowski: Was a little worried about Porcello at start of last season. But by end "that was the old Rick Porcello."

have you seen/heard about any of the CoPa "renovations"?
I have seen the early stages of the remodel on the scoreboard. Still don't know what changes are being made. DD wouldn't divulge.
Knowing the Tigers, we'll probably have to wait for the nation's first "sabermetric scoreboard". Running totals of UZR, WAR.
