felix pie is a good player. he has power, he's fast, and he's left-handed. he plays center field. his stats don't look that impressive but he's been extremely young for his level his entire career. he needs to be more patient.

donald veal has good contact percentages, but he seems to be unable to throw a strike. that's a problem he'll need to fix.
if he does though, watch out. you don't see CON's like that and HRP's like that on the same player.

scouts love this guy. i don't see anything in the numbers, so i can't comment. low home run totals.

tyler colvin showed a lot of talent at clemson. he has power, he makes contact, and he's left-handed. the problem is he doesn't seem to have any awareness of hitting strategy. he's got to work the count. the best thing power can do for you is get you on base, because pitchers are afraid to throw to you.

sean gallagher sean gallagher sean gallagher. he looked good in the florida state league last year, with a .063 WAL and a .742 CON. then he went to double-a and lost his control. he's always had good ERA's. he's young for his level. it looks like he'll make it.

eric patterson is a lefty-hitting second baseman, born in my hometown of tallahassee, florida. with his speed and contact he can get on base. course walking is easier.
he did well in the arizona fall league, with 12 walks, 16 strikeouts, and 15 stolen bases in 113 at-bats. still, there's not enough contact yet to be sure.

scott moore is a lefty with decent power and some patience, but he's gonna have improve something to make it.

ryan harvey has good power, but he swings too much.

chris huseby is a young pitcher. as with samardzija, there's nothing for me to comment on.

mark pawelek is a lefty with mojo. the question is does he want to pitch.
kevin goldstein had the same 10 that baseball america did. i'm gonna mention two more guys.

2006 Daytona FSL 24 Chc A+ 354 45 54 4 25 .113 .847 .097 .300
he's a lefty, he's got speed, and he makes contact. see where i'm going with this? i always talk about these guys, but this is a type that can play in the majors.
Career Pitching Statistics for Billy Muldowney:

2006 Boise Nwes 0 Chc A- 43.2 43 2 11 42 .059 .759 .015 2.68
he's a changeup guy. billy muldowney has good control, decent contact rates, and good home run limitation. he's got a shot to make it.
ok, we're done with the cubs. felix pie is good, the rest is potential. jim hendry has massacred this team. not that there was much there to begin with. this has never been a well-run organization. that said, lou piniella is a winner, and there's a chance he could do something before they devour themselves in a mass of contracts and mediocrity.
