Midwest League Top 20

Baseball America has released their Midwest League Top 20, a league stocked with talent, and the Peoria Chiefs, only had Donald Veal show up on the Top 20 list at #9. Veal went 5-3 with a 2.69 ERA in 14 starts for the Chiefs before being called up to the Daytona Cubs. Veal is likely to show up on the Florida State League Top 20 prospects, and most likely at a higher spot than 9 on the FSL list.

Staying with the BA trend, Alan Matthews has an interesting series of articles being posted, about his experience at Major League Baseball's scouting bureau development program. Matthews is passing on some great info about a scouts thinking process when looking at a player.

Finally, over at InsideTheIvy.com, Steve Holley has an article posted about Jose Ceda, and since I do not have a subscption to the full article, the teaser has me scratching my head. I shudder to think that Holley is comparing Ceda to Jose Mesa, any subscribers care to fill us in on what Jose they are comparing Ceda to?

  • Contreras is my guess.

  • I know this is a couple weeks late, but it was Mesa.

    Specifically that he had a body comparable to Jose Mesa or Lee Smith. There were a couple Lee Smith mentions in the article. So it isn't all bad.
