First I want to say that I've been a regular LGT reader for several months, but this is my first ever post.  Hi everyone....hello....hi....hi....thanks, great to be here...

Now, my question is about Garko and how he compares to Colorado 1B prospect Ryan Shealy, who has been mostly blocked by one Todd Helton.  Actually from what I have read he has been major-league-ready for a while, and Colorado probably should have traded/moved him long ago if they planned to keep Helton.

Anyhow, I am pretty new to the whole science of evaluation of minor leaguers.  How does Garko compare to Shealy?  Which one is the better prospect?  Would it be worthwhile for the Tribe to try to get Shealy, and if so, how much would he cost us?
