Prospect Hot Sheet 7-3-08....& A Goofy Question

No Cardinals In The Top List.

Q: Max from Florida asks: Eric Eiland is the next...?

A: Matt Eddy: Like Cardinals outfielder Daryl Jones, Eiland was a raw, toolsy, lefty-hitting center fielder and standout football player at his Texas high school. It's taken Jones three years to catch up to even A-ball competition, as he has this season, so don't expect Eiland, Toronto's second-round pick in 2007, to grow by leaps and bounds early in his career.

Q: Justin from Columbia, MO asks: Bryan Anderson continues to hit. Is he a legit top 100 guy?

A: Matt Eddy: He is. Only 21, Anderson has proven he can hit for average in Triple-A. His power and throwing arm lag behind for now, but he should learn to identify pitches to drive as he gets more experience. And that .481 slugging in June was an encouraging sign.

-------------------------------------------------
Q: mike from stl asks: would harden for garcia/anderson/perez be too much from STL?

A: Matt Eddy: That would be too much for the Cardinals to surrender for a year or two of Harden. His medical history is so extensive that he'd be a huge risk to take on even for one of those players.
