Prospect Instinct: Madison Younginer
Posted On 05 Mar 2010 By George Utter.
A less touted HS arm in the 2009 draft was Madison Younginer and it wasn't because he lacked a power arm. A lack of exposure allowed the Red Sox to get what I believe to be a steal in Younginer. He throws a mid 90s fastball with good life and should easily add and additional 2-3 mph to that fastball as he matures.

Prospect Instinct: Dustin Ackley
Posted On 04 Mar 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
It won't take long for him to be ready and he will hit right out of the box, they just need to find his position. He's athletic enough to play CF and probably even learn 2B relatively quickly.

Prospect Instinct: Buster Posey
Posted On 03 Mar 2010 By George Utter.
Posey is going to be a team leader. He's versatile, athletic and an excellent hitter. He is as close to a can't miss catcher as they come. Before we get into breaking down his swing let's take a quick look at the stat lines for his professional career thus far.

Prospect Instinct: Stephen Strasburg
Posted On 24 Feb 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
On most prospect lists, you will find Strasburg’s name in the top three, and usually you will find it sitting at number one. We have ranked Strasburg #2, and based on absolute upside, #1 or #2 is absolutely the perfect place for him. However, the other nine players in our top 10 are more likely to reach their ultimate long term upside than is Strasburg.

Prospect Instinct: Jason Heyward
Posted On 24 Feb 2010 By Thomas Belmont.
Somehow, Jason Heyward slipped to the 14th pick in the 2007 MLB Draft. Today, he stands alone as the best player in minor league baseball. But we are not here to tell you everything you already know about Heyward. There is no reason to spend paragraphs discussing how Heyward is a pure hitter with elite plate discipline and a strong throwing arm.

How do you say No-No in triplicate? Patrick Schuster.
Posted On 16 Apr 2009 By Thomas Belmont.
On April 3, 2009 ,JW Mitchell High School senior lefthander Patrick Schuster tossed a 17 strike out No-Hitter against Land O' Lakes High School in 7 innings, and if that didn't catch the scouts' eyes, he took the mound again 5 days later and proceeded to baffle River Ridge High School. Over 5 innings of work Schuster completed his second No-Hitter in as many games while striking out 10.
