Pretty good assesment

I don’t think we have a can’t miss prospect in our farm. But we are very deep. I think the rankings reflect that.

Are familiar with the awesomeness of Ryan Westmoreland sir?

honestly im not

i have only read a little on him. but we all thought lars anderson was the bees knees last offseason. So im hesitant to fall for another prospect. My heart just can’t take it.

It's a complete different story here with his highness Ryan the Second.

Jump in the bandwagon my friend: In 2-3 years you’ll be cheering for a perennial All-Star 7-8 WAR playa.

Westmoreland's defense and speed is, at least, a constant.

Basically, his floor is what we thought Ellsbury was gonna be. OK, that’s a huge overstatement and stuff could still go wrong, but he’s REALLY good. Great speed, great defense, and he’s actually got power. And he’s not afraid to take a walk.

Just from watching the minor lines

It looked like he would get bored with one thing and move to something else from week to week. “This week I’m hitting homers.” “Now I want 3 double games.” “This week I want an OBP of .600.”

I believe the man can do everything, even though the “man” is my age.

Lin with the epic snub.....

Also the grades seem rather cluttered in the C range…..idk….

Westmoreland, Kalish, Reddick

I’m excited about our system OF depth….other than Ellsbury when is the last time we developed a regular major league OFer? Brady Anderson, Ellis Burks?
