Sickels Prospect Ratings

I'm probably the last person on Earth to link to this, but what the Hell. John Sickels has released his preliminary Top 20 Prospects for the Giants.

Time Lincecum was No. 1, followed by Jonathan Sanchez and Marcus Sanders. Sickels was also high on Billy Sadler.

His sum for the organization was this:

The Giants have some interesting relief arms after Lincecum and Sanchez, but have shown little ability to develop hitters with plate discipline or plus offensive potential.

Yep, that sounds like the Giants. Someday there will be a homegrown third baseman (hopefully Durham and Schmidt can help that along). Until that day we can brag about our young pitchers and stare with longing at the Diamondback's dugout.
