1. bigboy1234 Posted: November 03, 2009 at 01:43 AM (#3375306)Wilson Ramos, Twins, catcher, VWL, has been the best hitter in the league and just turned 22 a couple months ago.

Josh Thole, Mets, catcher, VWL, 1.057 OPS so far with a 11/5 BB/K in 64 AB.

Roman Pena, Indians, outfielder, LMP, striking out a lot, but is showing good power
http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=CF&sid=l132&t=p_pbp&pid=489201
Sam Deduno, Astros, pitcher, VWL, his first outing, all seven of his outs came via the strikeout, although he allowed 2 runs. 14/2 K/BB in 7.1 IP 6.00 GO/AO so far,

Jordan Norberto, pitcher, VWL, soon to be 23 year old has a 8/0 K/BB in 4.1 IP although has allowed 6 hits. During the season struckout 89 in 68 innings.

Pretty good? Doesn't he have something like 30 HR's in 18 at bats?
I'm glad he's having a nice winter, but his repertoire is that of a reliever. Plus, "5th starter Jesus" can't hold a candle to "Bullpen Jesus".
I've seen that reference in several places, and it's probably more appropriate to say "Jack Cust who isn't as slow as a slug". Desme's more of a smart baserunner than a speed burner (although he's good enough to handle CF now and again without embarrassing himself); the SB total was a bit of an aberration. The K rates improved when he went from Kane County to Stockton - but then again, so did the hitting environment. Desme's going to be 24 next season, and I think he's going to have to deal with his contact issues pretty quickly if he's going to be anything other than the next Cust.
