    There's a lot of guys on this list who are studs in my OOTP league.

    Surprising how far Joel Pineiro has fallen.

    Poor Kila Ka'aihue. I really thought he'd be be killing it. And Brandon Wood! What the hell happened there? Has ever a prospect fallen so far?

    Was Conor Jackson a big deal because people just didn't fully understand Lancaster and the PCL, or was he really a legit toolsy prospect?

    Billy Rowell is STILL is short-season ball?

    Jackson - he hasn't been the same since getting valley fever (among other things) a few years back.

    Rowell - disregard that - he was a AA guy last year who missed this year due to injury. At this point, NP.

    Kouz - weird career.

    Wood - 50% PF / contact issues, 50% what the hell happened?

    Rowell is also a pitcher now if memory serves.

    50% contact issues, 25% people not accounting for park and league effects, 25% what the hell happened.

    I'd go 25/25/50. There are plenty of players who had similar contact issues and were able to hit at least something at the big league level. If you think his contact issues meant he had a ceiling of a .230-.250 batting average, that's valid. But there was no reason to think his contact issues doomed him to hit like a pitcher.

    In my league: Felix Pie, Kevin Kouzmanoff, Aaron Cunningham, Jeff Gray, Eugenio Velez, David Pauley, Ryan Spilborghs, Jack Cust and Mike MacDougal are all pretty good. I hate it when I confuse guys who are good in that league for being good in real life.

    What a fun list. Names I hadn't heard in years.

    LORENZO BARCELO? He last pitched in the majors in ... 2002!

    Let's see. He retired after 2003.

    He came back in 2009 with the Tucson Toros, which at the time also featured Junior Spivey.

    He played in Mexico and then up in my neck of the woods with the York Revolution. Then back to Mexico.

    The Dodgers signed him to a AAA contract on September 1, 2012. He played one game for Albuquerque. What?

    What a hero.

    Andy LaRoche was in the Red Sox organization this year? And they gave starts to seven different people at 3B without ever bringing him up? He must be even worse than we thought.

    Going through the Twins

    Minnesota Twins
    RHP: David Bromberg (AA), Jeff Gray (AAA), Jeff Manship (AAA), Kyle Waldrop (AAA), Brendan Wise (AAA)
    LHP: Luke French (AA), Matt Maloney (AAA)

    Bromberg was still recovering from surgery last year. His upside is Boof Bonser. Nobody else can strike anyone out.

    3B: Anderson Hidalgo (HiA)

    Looked like a prospect a couple years back but repeated the Florida State League and got worse.

    SS: James Beresford (AA), Estarlin de los Santos (AA)

    Both are good glove no-hit types.

    OF: Rene Tosoni (AA)

    Played in the Futures game but hasn't shown anything at all since then. Gets hurt a lot too.

    Ryan Garko. I was convinced he was the real deal.

    As a reminder, Joaquin Arias, Gregor Blanco, Quintin Berry, and Ryan Vogelsong were all recent Minor League Free Agents who contributed to 2012 pennant-winners.
