Prospect List: #9

Desmond Jennings finally gets his today, and here's the HS throwback pic.

A two sport star in high school Jennings had sexual assault charges pressed, and then dropped, which lead to an Alabama football scholarship being withdrawn. D.J. possesses great speed, good on-base skills, and an ability to hit for average and power, also good range in centerfield to boot. 2007 was truly his breakout season, showing why the Rays took him in the 10th round just a year prior. The Carl Crawford comparisons are there, but at this age Crawford was all ready in the majors, and there's certainly no need to rush Jennings.

CC...
I wouldn't say CC... He reminds me of Dion Sanders... if Dion would have concentrated on baseball...

Re: CC...
Deion was Deion because he did everything.  If he would have stuck to baseball he would have been unspectacular.

Re: Prospect List: #9
I went with Mason and I imagine I'll go with Perez tommorow.  Mason doesn't have a huge ceiling but his production in Montgomery was encouraging.  Hope he can keep it up in Durham next season.

Sorry man. You making comments about my avatar. You talk about another man's avatar... you will need to pay the repercussions...

Judging is merely a byproduct of the aforementioned comment. Why does he have to be your son? Why can't you just go hang out by proverbial lake and go fishing? Isn't there enough of him admire? Allz-Im-sayin'.

I'm intrigued by your ideas
And wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Also if there's a tie then I'll do it the old fashioned way: Mason tomorrow and Talbot on Friday.

That'll do. I guess...
Not going to lie. I was kind of looking forward to a potato sack race. Just call it nostalgia... But, the spit time works...

Dude, remember. Most of us are Floridians. We can't vote to save our lives.

Re: And if you're a Democrat
Well, if the intire stat was Democrat, there would have been a problem.

Politics is just like breakfast: Some like sausage, some like bacon, but in the end we'll all need a plunger.

Interesting metaphor
I hadn't thought of it that way, but sure.

Re: Interesting metaphor
IT's what I do. Superman flies, Aqua-man swims, I come up with metaphors. I kind of got the raw end of that deal... I know... but, at least I can touch Kryptonite with no serious ramifications...
