BaseballAmerica.com: Prospects: Where Everyone's Top 30s Are Starting The Season


It looks like Richmond and San Jose will be the places to be to see the Giants of the future.

BTW, is there a better team name (or logo) in baseball than the Richmond Flying Squirrels? I used to think that the Lansing Lugnuts were the best, but now.....I'm not so sure.

It will be interesting to see how well Jason Stoffel (future closer) and Eric Surkamp (future starter) perform at the AA level, where the true prospects begin to separate themselves from the suspects.


Gary Brown in Hi-A is a bit of a surprise. I would have thought AA. And Clayton Tanner in AA instead of AAA, still only 23 years old.....but. Oh well, hopefully both progress.
