ok another question, What is your teams best under the radar prospect signing/drafting?

You know the guy who wasn't a famed international signing or a high draft pick.

As a Dodgers fan mine would of been Allen Webster but obviously he was traded. He was an 18th rounder and never really pitched much at all in high school. Dodgers were scouting another player on his team when Webster team started getting blown out and they put Webster in to mop up. Once they seen he was hitting 91-93 with almost no training they decided to draft him. They actually liked the fact they could mold him on his own.

Besides that the Dodgers don't have many sleepers. Hopefully this will change now that they are starting to spend money on the draft and international prospects. Dodgers spent less than 500,000 combined on international free agents in 2010 and 2011. Kasten/Walter/Colletti spent more money on 3 international free agents, Yasiel Puig, Julio Urias, and Bryan Munoz then McCourt spent over his entire tenure.

Joey Terdoslavich of the Braves. Had a slash of .286/.341/.526/.867 with 20 home runs in 131 games last year in A+ ball. Was hitting .314/.373/.479/.853 this year at AA in 76 games, but has struggled quite a bit in AAA. I still like him a lot though, can play either corner infield position.

What is everyone's take of the Red Sox system

I know I am biased (everyone is), but I really want to say its a top 5 system, definitely top 10 probably top 7 imo? But I wonder what people outside of the sox fanbase thinks/knows about it

I'd say upper top 10, maybe 9 or 10ish. I still like the Blue Jays, Padres, Texas and Kansas Citys a bit more right now. Seattle, St. Louis and Atlanta are probably a bit better as well. Boston is lumped in the 8-13ish with the Pirates, Diamondbacks, Cubs, Athletics and Rays. I think you could make a case where each should be placed and not sound like an idiot really.

Clayton Blackburn—16th rounder in 2011. In 131.1 IP he's posted a 2.54 ERA (1.91 FIP), 143K (lead the Sally), 7.94 K/BB in Class A and he makes his A+ debut today pitching in the Cal League postseason.

Tayler Scott, 5th round pick South African HS soccer player turned RHSP prospect by the Cubs, didn't allow a HR all year in the Northwest league.

Before this year's amateur period landed Johnson and Paniagua, both pitching at Boise right now, he was the most interesting pitching talent on a loaded (positionally) short season Boise team.

He must have a funky delivery

He do not. Mechanics and arm slot are textbook from an interview his coach gave earlier in the year.
