The end of an era

Well, not so much. But I'm going to stop posting in the very near future. I no longer have the time I desire to put into it to make it a worthwhile visit. I'm sure you've noticed fewer posts here and you may have even noticed I'm not posting on the boards much any more either. I truly appreciate all the visits over the last couple years. I will be posting a top prospects list with very little, if any, postings on the players with the intention of answering as many questions as you guys ask in the comments section. Then, that'll be all.

Bobby

Jason Perry

2006-12-13T14:19:00.000-08:00

One of the main let downs in the system recently. Perry has past demonstrated an extreme amount of power that has since left him. He is now too old and stuck behind many players in the A's system. He now seems to be nothing more than a career minor leaguer. He's also hurt by the fact that he's a terrible defender and probably limited to 1b/dh if he ever progresses to the majors.

Justin Sellers

2006-12-06T12:12:00.000-08:00

The first thing of note on Sellers is his size. As of now, he's listed at 5'10" 155 lbs. He can get away with the height, but how many players in the majors weigh 155 lbs? Last season was just his first full season, however, he will already be 21 entering next season. He made a ton of errors last season after being hyped as sure handed. He's a very good prospect with the background of baseball that the A's look for. He'll still need to add a ton of weight though before he's considered a real major league possibility.

Mike Madsen

2006-12-01T01:11:00.000-08:00

It's easy for A's fans to invision any top college pitcher dropping in the draft due to size turning into the next Tim Hudson. Madsen even went so far as to get our hopes up with a tremendous ending to 2005. He came back down to earth in 06 however after hitters got more of a look of his modiocre stuff. Madsen will probably stick around in the organization for a while as little more than a filler. He may spend time in Sacramento some day, maybe having a best case being a Ryan Glynn type

Craig Italiano

2006-11-29T02:21:00.000-08:00

The bullpen may not be far away. Italiano struggled with elbow trouble in high school and shoulder trouble in his furst full season of professional baseball. Italiano would have closers stuff to say the least, armed with a high 90's fastball. He still needs to improve his control a tremendous amount as well as prove he can be healthy for an extended period of time. He has the stuff to be one of the breakout players in all of the minors last year if he's in a starting role.

Chad Lee

2006-11-26T23:15:00.000-08:00

Lee was one of the better Junior College prospects entering the 2006 draft when the A's picked him up in the 4th round. He may have gone slightly higher had he not torn his ACL prior to the winter and tweaked his forearm during the year. While he was at full strength pitching in Vancouver, he put up very mediocre numbers, capped off with just 5.5 K's per 9 innings. He'll likely start next season in Kane County's rotation, not many great innings away from a promotion to Stockton.

Marcus McBeth

2006-10-10T23:52:00.000-07:00

A converted OF, McBeth has quickly become one of the A's better pitching prospects. He's posted great numbers despite pitching for such a short while and he has the stuff to get even better. He has the potential for 3 plus pitches, including a 95 MPH fastball. The A's could challenge him in AAA next season.

Lloyd Turner

2006-10-05T00:29:00.000-07:00

For the second straight season Turner failed to make the leap to AA Midland. At 26 years old, Turner may have spent his last season in the organization. Turner is quick, and can play some middle infield, so he may be able to spend a few more years in professional baseball with another organization.

John Baker

2006-10-03T23:32:00.000-07:00

I've long been a big fan of Baker, mostly because he went to high school right near me. He's seen better days as a prospect and at one time looked to be a potential fringe regular. His 2005 season though was one of the bigger let downs in the organization and he was waived and claimed by Florida. The A's were then able to get Baker back when Florida placed Baker on waivers literally days later. After a very solid 2006 splitting time with Jeremy Brown, Baker once again looks like a potential major leaguer, though as a backup. The problem though is that he has almost no chance of getting ahead of Jeremy Brown or Kurt Suzuki, so to avoid being stuck in AAA for years, he'll need to find his way to another organization.

Matt Sulentic

2006-10-02T23:15:00.000-07:00

I was thinking about going in alphabetical order, but chose to go the random route...And I couldnt open with someone that may be a bit boring.

Sulentic, in my opinion, is the top prospect in the A's system. The reason for that can be found here. Sulentic did end the season with some trouble in the MWL, but as such a young player, he was basically playing with house money. By the time he began to struggle, he had already established himself as one of the elite prospects in baseball. I will concede that I'm going by a small sample size, but I dont think you can fluke Sulentic's numbers with his background, age and level considered. He has the potential to see time in Oakland by 2009 and be an all star not much after.

The Offseason

As well as the top whatever prospect list I decide to do this offseason, I will be making daily posts. Each post about 1 player in the A's system. Probably just a few lines for most. This will begin shortly

20th overall, 18 year old Chris Parmelee, a half level below Sulentic, is hitting .279/.333/.559
23rd overall, 18 year old Max Sapp, in the same league as Sulentic, is hitting .219/.313/.288
24th overall, 17 year old Cody Johnson, a half level below Sulentic, is hitting .286/.355/.393
25th overall, 18 year old Hyun Conger, a half level below Sulentic, is hitting .319/.382/.522
27th overall, 18 year old Jason Place, a half level below Sulentic, is hitting .259/.353/.293

Calling the above a small sample size is very fair, but that doesnt change the fact that what Sulentic has done thus far is nothing short of incredible

This is all MLB.com felt the need to mention about Sulentic in their pre-draft profile: A smallish outfielder who has put up monster numbers. His tools grade out as average but his makeup is off the charts.
