KLaw's mid-year top 50 prospects

35: Pomeranz

Analysis: Looks like his delivery is a little cleaner than it was when Cleveland drafted him, although he's still going to have to work to repeat it enough to have average fastball command. His three-pitch mix makes him death to lefties and solid against righties as well. Preseason Ranking: 60

49: Kipnis

Analysis: He's a Kelly Johnson-type player but a better pure hitter than Johnson has been. Preseason Ranking: 56

"Mixed emotions. Rather see him hit PEDroia [with that pitch]. I don’t care if he is in the dugout"

In the new Geico commercial, Marte sings "Let me be myself" on Wedge's front lawn (with the cavemen).

Law is such an unsufferable douchebag. Just in general.

If you don't respect Aaron Laffey, I will fight you.

Yeah, screw this guy… for… upgrading the rankings of our prospects? What an a-hole?

I’m conflicted, too.

Nah, I’ve just learned to despise the man after following him on Twitter. He’s a pompous a-hole.

This is fair.

The note on Pomeranz is really encouraging to go along with his gaudy A+ stats. If I were playing mad scientist GM, I would flip Raffy to a contender for a fringe prospect, DFA Durbin and let White and Pomeranz finish the year in the bullpen.
