macthomason (Tuscaloosa, AL): Would Andy Marte still be considered the #1 prospect if (as seems likely) shifted to an outfield corner?
Rany Jazayerli: If Andy Marte played left field last year, then no, he wouldn’t rank #1. On the other hand, he would probably rank no lower than #3, and it’s quite possible that if he *does* switch to a corner outfield spot, his offense might blossom even faster. Bottom line is he’s a monster of a prospect, and gets next to no attention.
From whom is Marte not getting attention, I wonder? Still, it’s great to see the BP folks so high on him.
Huh. Good question. Better answer.
I just read in the AJC that Turner Field now sports the largest high-def video screen of any stadium in the world. Now we can see Brian Jordan strike out at 10 times his normal size!

This should make the Home Depot Tool Race more exciting than ever, if possible. Go drill!
