Hey Tony,

Will this Putnam deal affect the release of the book (& any posting of information) or is everything on automatic by this point??????

Book is still scheduled to be finished first week of February like in previous years. I am dealing with a serious family matter that has had me going back and forth between Cleveland and Tampa the past few weeks which has delayed me some and may push it back some if things get worse....but I am still panning to unveil it then. I will have another update soon, as well as a big site update soon as well. Can't say much about the site update until the new design is complete.

FYI.. Kevin Goldstein has posted his Indians prospect listings.. and claims: "This is the youngest, riskiest, most volatile Top 11 I've ever done.":

Five-Star Prospects
1. Francisco Lindor, SS
Three-Star Prospects
2. Dillon Howard, RHP
3. Ronny Rodriguez, SS
4. Austin Adams, RHP
5. Tony Wolters, SS
6. Nick Hagadone, LHP
7. Dorssys Paulino, SS
8. Luigi Rodriguez, OF
Two-Star Prospects
9. Scott Barnes, LHP
10. Robel Garcia, INF
11. Elvis Araujo, LHP

Nine More
12. Jake Cisco, RHP: This 2011 third-round pick has size and stuff, but he’s raw.
13. Zach McAllister, RHP: He has command and fastball movement, but little else. His ceiling is a fifth starter.
14. Felix Sterling, RHP: This young righty has a power arm and big potential, but he needs refinement.
15. Jorge Martinez, SS: He’s yet another teenage Dominican with loud tools. He profiles as a third baseman with power.
16. Chen Lee, RHP: This undersized righty has an electric fastball. He should pitch in big leagues this year, and has a seventh- or eighth-inning ceiling.
17. Levon Washington, OF: He’s still a great athlete, but his swing fell apart in 2011.
18. Jesus Aguilar, 1B: This massive first baseman is a bat-only prospect, but there are questions about what he can do other than hit for power.
19. Chun-Hsui Chen, C: He has impressive offensive skills, but he’s well below average behind the plate.
20. Zack Putnam, RHP: Like Lee, Putnam should reach the big leagues this year, but he profiles as a solid reliever, not an impact one

Wasn't about putting it in the wrong spot. Was simplying pointint out that it had been posted a few days earlier and there was already a discussion going on about the rankings.
