Talkin’ Padres Prospects

by Geoff Young on March 4th, 2008

For the Padres fans in the house, I’ve posted a Q&A with the folks at MadFriars.com over at Ducksnorts (Part 1, Part 2). Actually, even if you’re not a Padres fan, there’s some good stuff here in terms of strategies for evaluating prospects and what-not.

Por ejemplo:

There are a lot of factors that go into comparing, analyzing and ranking players. It is a combination of projection and stats — but one thing John and I have learned through the years is nothing beats watching a player live. By going to the field four hours prior to the game, we can see work habits, how they hustle when the lights are dim, and what they take into a game. It may seem minute, but pre-game workouts can define a player’s potential and ability to reach that potential.

Enjoy…
