Yeah, that's one of those "local scout" guys that might have slipped between the cracks before. Guy is very physically toolsy. Think he just didn't get much exposure in HS.
I'm with you on Burlington/Kane County. Wilmington and NWA are feeling the burn of the college-heavy draft in 2010, which has left them pretty barren. Not much desire to watch them.
Orlando Calixte, Cuthbert and Adam are Royals top 30 guys I can think of at Wilmington, though Brooks Pounders is intriguing (the Royals picked him up off the scrap heap and are letting him train the way he wants, something the Pirates did not allow). I suspect Brett Eibner will go back to pitching next season.
And NWA... I guess you've got Colon and Ventura and Marimon and not much else. Justin Marks is mildly interesting, but is topped out as a back-end rotation guy. And Mike Montgomery is like Lord Voldemort to me. I just don't want to talk about the guy.
