In fact, just about anything would fit in better at UGA than basketball (including shuffleboard and badminton). I was planning on doing a bracket for my class pool, but never got around to it. Oh well. I never win anyways.<BR/><BR/>I'll definitely do a Dominguez write up along with some comps. I'm trying to think of a few more things to write about over the next week or two (maybe a N.L. ROY post), so if you have any other ideas, just lemme' know.<BR/><BR/>-AdamAdam Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764263298997609150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678266852437440905.post-89317748479236345462009-03-28T22:52:00.000-07:002009-03-28T22:52:00.000-07:00I see you point regarding lack of data.

I feel like he has performed better than a lot of 3B prospect at this stage of his career (i.e. Sean Bourrough and I had another good comp) but he is wayyyy underrated IMO. What are your thoughts?<BR/><BR/>I'm spending all of my free time on checking my bracket hourly :P Doing really well this year and had my girlfriend remembered to invite me into the UNC SOM pool, I would be dominating it right now :(<BR/><BR/>She also did not heed to my "upset special", which was Nova over UPitt (and DUKE!)<BR/><BR/>How is your bracket, assuming that you filled out one. Since, you went to UGA, that might be a foreign concept to you ;)Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678266852437440905.post-5553940181993818292009-03-27T22:51:00.000-07:002009-03-27T22:51:00.000-07:00Hey James, I like Smoak and Alonso both a lot, but...Hey James, <BR/><BR/>I like Smoak and Alonso both a lot, but just based off of Alonso's college K/BB splits and cumulative average, I'd take him over Smoak in terms of plate discipline and contact. But like I said in the FCB thread, any opinion anyone has on the recent draftees is purely speculation since we don't have much professional data to go on, so don't read too much into the Yonder pick. It's possible that Buster Posey or someone else could be better than all of them.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of the FCB thread, I have to remind myself of the wide range of personal backgrounds and age groups that frequent those forums. Not everyone sees things eye to eye, and I really appreciate constructive criticism and feedback. Sometimes it just means wading through the few poorly worded comments before reading the stuff that really matters.<BR/><BR/>Anyways, good luck with school. Let me know if you have any feedback once you get some time.<BR/><BR/>-AdamAdam Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764263298997609150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678266852437440905.post-55946558823484616222009-03-27T19:39:00.000-07:002009-03-27T19:39:00.000-07:00Hey Adam,Why do you like Yonder Alonso better than...Hey Adam,<BR/><BR/>Why do you like Yonder Alonso better than Justin Smoak? IMO (based on their college track) Alonso's ceiling will be similar to Joey Votto while I think Smoaks can become a player similar to Teixeira.<BR/><BR/>I guess why do you like one more than other? <BR/><BR/>PS. I wish I could joined the conversation you had at FCB... I have been swamped with limbs right now and by the time I read it, it was like 6 pages already LOL<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, I admire your courage and your composure through criticism. Keep up the good job.Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
