The Sounds Of Silence

All the context you need to know is that culture is highly correlated to the pulse of the baseball environment. Baseball is but a Summer poem and the beauty of the game, the LYRICAL aspect interlaces itself into the lives of fathers and sons, and daughters and America.

It goes all the way back to the beginning, baseball has been part of Amrica’s popular culture as early as the 1850′s, celebrated in art, story and song. The Beastie Boy’s have since their beginning have also had a close relationship to popular culture, been on top of it and pretty quickly put their mark on it. (more…)

2012 Detroit Tigers Top 16 Prospects

Posted on January 4, 2012 by Jonathan C. Mitchell

The Detroit Tigers’ system is full of young projectable talent and a lot of left handed pitchers who are all trying their best to stick on as starting pitchers.

Next year’s Florida State League team in Lakeland should be a fun one to watch with most of the young talent either starting there or moving there at some point in the year.

Below are my top 16 prospects with 2012 opening day age, position, and comments on each player. Below the top 16 is a small list of additional notable names. Enjoy.

Midseason Top 25 Prospect List

Posted on July 13, 2011 by Michael Schwartze

We are at the halfway point in the season, and many prospects have taken strides or falls in their development. Here is my midseason top 25 prospect list. Prospects must not be at the big league level, used up their rookie eligibility, and all 2011 draftees are excluded as well.

Bryce Harper, OF, Nationals
Matt Moore, LHP, Rays
Julio Teheran, RHP, Braves
Shelby Miller, RHP, Cardinals
Manny Machado, SS, Orioles
Jameson Taillon, RHP, Pirates
Jesus Montero, C, Yankees
Martin Perez, LHP, Rangers
Jurickson Profar, SS, Rangers
Drew Pomeranz, LHP, Indians
Brett Lawrie, 3B, Blue Jays
Manny Banuelos, LHP, Yankees
Jacob Turner, RHP, Tigers
Carlos Martinez, RHP, Cardinals
Desmond Jennings, OF, Rays
Tyler Skaggs, LHP, Diamondbacks
Wil Myers, OF, Royals
Travis d’Arnaud, C, Blue Jays
Hak-Ju Lee, SS, Rays
Jake Odorizzi, RHP, Royals
Devin Mesoraco, C, Reds
Leonys Martin, OF, Rangers
Taijuan Walker, RHP, Mariners
Matt Harvey, RHP, Mets
Gary Brown, OF, Giants

Some guys that just missed the cut for me are Robbie Erlin, Brad Peacock, Jason Kipnis, Dee Gordon, and Brett Jackson. I would also like to note that Mike Trout would be my number one prospect if he was not at the major league level.

A few players that I think you have to watch for to jump onto this list by the end of the season are Nolan Arenado, Anthony Gose, Nick Castellanos and Zach Wheeler.
