Scouting Report on Tony Thomas

Found December 01, 2007 on Cubs Hub:
PLAYERS: Eric Young,  Tony Thomas,  David Price
TEAMS: Texas Rangers,  Chicago Cubs

Tony Thomas 2B 5′10 180lbs R/R Thomas split the most prestigious college baseball award, the Golden Spikes, with the first pick overall David Price this past offseason. Still Tony was taken 96 picks later, when the Cubs nabbed him with the third pick in the third round. Thomas saw quite a few unproven high school infielders taken before him due to most scouts believing that Thomas was a finished product and his range for improvement was limited. When Thomas was still available in the third round, Wilken and associates could no longer pass on the ACC player of the year. Tony did not disappoint as he signed early and reported to Arizona (rookie ball) for a short stint before raking it up at Boise (short A).

Yes, America --- The Rays Are Headed to the World Series...

Via Oriole Post  |  October 19, 2008
The Rays are in the World Series! If anyone picked them in March to play for it all -- you're lying. It seems like all of America -- aside from Red Sox fans -- were picking them to advance to the promised land, and finally, it looks like the doormats of the AL East and the laughing stock of baseball for so many years have made it. What can we say about David Price! This game...

Why Wasn't David Price in Earlier?

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  October 30, 2008
Look, I'm not saying that the Rays would have won the game otherwise, and I'm certainly not saying that the Phillies didn't earn the World Series title a?" they did. But if there's one issue I have with the way Game 5 finished out, it was that David Price didn't enter the ballgame until [...]

Cubs' Sold on Vitters as 2007 Draft Pick

Via Cubs Hub  |  April 30, 2007
The Draft is approaching shortly (June 7-8th) but it's becoming very evident the Cubs have their eyes set on one individual with their 3rd overall pick in the upcoming draft.

Dan Murphy # 8 on SI's Top 50 Prospects

Via Dom D's Mets Fan Blog  |  February 11, 2009
It appears that Daniel Murphy is getting high praise on SI.'s Top 50 Prospect list by Frank Neville. He was ranked 8th on the list that includes Tampa's stud, David Price at #1. The best part of it all is Neville says he believes that Murphy can help the Mets by playing 2B with an above average glove. I hope Murphy can be the 2009 NL Rookie of the year and fill in modestly...

MLB Amateur Draft 2008: My Draft Board + Pedro Alvarez Scouting Report

Via Baseball Mastermind  |  May 27, 2008
With the MLB amateur draft approaching, I thought it would be a good time to start profiling some of the young talent that may be coming to a team near you. Generally speaking, this draft does not have a consensus top prospect, like a Justin Upton or David Price, so it's anyone's guess who the top pick will be and the Tampa Bay Rays are thought to be deciding between Buster...

Sports lllustrated Headline: Young, Gifted, and BLACK -- Article Says There Aren't Enough Blacks in MLB; Wait, Isn't There Like Not Any Whites in the NBA?

Via juicedsportsblog.com  |  July 31, 2008
Sports Illustrated published an article saying there aren't enough blacks in baseball (just 8%), but there were 27% in 1975. Do they expect use to believe that there is more racism in baseball now than in 75? You know what would be a more realistic reason? That blacks have started playing basketball and football more since the 70's. Wouldn't that be good for race...

Mets NOT in love with Javier Vazquez to fill a void in rotation..

Via Dom D's Mets Fan Blog  |  November 25, 2008
According to Fox Sports Ken Rosenthal, the Mets are in search of starting pitching as well as a closer, aren't enamored with the White Sox's Javier Vazquez, who lasted only one season with the Yankees. Rays right-hander Andy Sonnanstine, a strike thrower and dogged competitor, represents a more desirable target, but the Rays are forever reluctant to trade pitching. The...

MLB Draft Top Pick Possibilities

Our own Kevin Gengler took part in a Rays blog 'round table' of sorts at Rays Anatomy.
