Usually Monday is set for a “2011 Season in Review” article, but there were a lot of things that happened over the weekend worth talking about, so that gets pushed to tomorrow.
Lance McAllister talked with David Bell on Thursday night. You can listen to it here, Bell comes on at the 7:20 mark at the link. He talks about several players, including Denis Phipps (much higher on Phipps than I am), Neftali Soto, Henry Rodriguez and Didi Gregorius.
Speaking of David Bell, you can watch his press conference where he is introduced to the Louisville media at TheBatsSignal.com.
Beyond the Box Score’s Bill Petti takes a look at what has happened with the scouting industry in baseball over the last decade. Part of the conclusion he comes to is that technology and statistical analysis have been a large part of it. Go give it a read.
Jonathan Mayo has been unveiling his Top 10 prospects by position over the last week. Both catcher and first base came up this past week. Devin Mes...

Devin Mesoraco came into the 2011 season fresh off of a huge breakout year for him in which he hit .302/.377/.587 across three levels. The 2011 season would be a big one, ending with him catching games in Cincinnati for the Reds.
April was pretty much a pick up from where Mesoraco had left off the season before as he would go out and hit .313/.405/.552 with 10 walks and 18 strikeouts...

Rotation Slot Definitions for 2011
With the Reds stated pursuit of starting pitching for the top of the rotation this off season and the recent acquisition Mat Latos, there has been lots of discussions in regard to the slotting of pitchers in the starting rotation. Many like to tag starting pitchers as being a #1, #2, #3, #4, or #5 starter to describe their level of ability as a starting pitcher. The trouble is...

The 2012 All Prospect Team
Catcher – Devin Mesoraco (Cincinnati Reds)
Some may wonder why not Jesus Montero. The answer is simply because Montero is a not a legit catcher. I understand Seattle intends to play him over there part time, but that’s essentially an open invitation for teams to steal bases at will and pitchers will be cognizant of the fact that any ball in the dirt has a good chance of reaching...
