ESPN.com – MLB – Sickels: Top prospects
This is John Sickels’ last column for ESPN.com. They give his ongoing projects a nice plug, but his farewell seems oddly truncated. How could ESPN not pay this guy whatever he says he needs? With Neyer behind the screen I only check in at ESPN rarely. for Gammons and Sickels primarily, until now.
His Top Prospects lists here are a little less detailed than usual, like he’s trying to get this over with. They contain most of the usual names, with the usual provisos: Dallas McPherson is a rookie of the year candidate, if his glove is good enough and he can keep his batting average in the acceptable range.
And the list suffers because he doesn’t include ETA figures. But that’s carping. Is ESPN crazy?
