He also did some great number crunching showing the various success rates of prospects (top 25 bats v. top 25-ranked arms and top 100 bats v. top 100-ranked arms). I like his stuff.Dale Berra's Stashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03730171634921685140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193838988599740109.post-65980089725331707282010-01-19T08:42:31.453-05:002010-01-19T08:42:31.453-05:00If anyone is interested, there's a link that s...If anyone is interested, there's a link that supports the theory of taking the college bat with the first pick.

They are always going to turn over players because of salary issues. What they have to do is sign a lot of very good prospects instead of one superstar. I believe the Pirates are on an upward swing and won't have to worry about drafting a top player and spending 15 - 30 mil on one player and not having money for the rest of the draft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
