BA podcast this week. They are in meetings to update Top 100

The podcast is mostly about their process, thinking, reach back and resources in gathering the scouting and assembling the lists.

They have a short discussion about Fajardo possibly entering the Top 100. Then on Mathews also. Both used as examples of how to assess.

tell them, I won't come to the table unless they offer Condon at #73

and if they even think of putting Helfrick in the Top 100, I'm taking my business elsewhere.

Man I love that Peete-Gurevitch combo. Promote them to AA together. Might need to sandwich Rainiel between them though or move Rainiel down to 3rd.

[Whatashame]

Crav, what do we have in Kross and Gurevitch. They both seem to be Burleson type clones. Gurevitch seems like an interesting prospect.

Gurevitch...a frustrating hitter...you'll get multi-XBH days and then an 0-5 several K game the next day..

He's got a great hit tool...but the K's do come. I"m wondering what he'll lean toward more once he gets to AAA? K's or Average?
