Sickles' top ten prospects
John Sickles has his top ten prospects up at ESPN with Kotchman and McPherson coming in at 7 & 8 respectively. His note on Kotchman:
I remain very high on his hitting ability, but the injuries are getting worrisome. You can make a case that I'm rating him too high here, but I want to give him one more year.
Why would the injuries be any more worrisome today - after a season of relatively good health in 2004 - than they were last time he mentioned Kotchman? And if there's a case to be made that you're rating him too highly, don't rate him so highly. He's certainly not a better prospect than DMac at this point, at least in my opinion.
Perhaps most interestingly, a note that accompanies the article states that it is Sickles last at ESPN. His writing will now be found at a new blog called MinorLeagueBall.com (not up yet). I look forward to it.
