<div>Humble Andy:</div>
<div> My comment was addressed specifically about KC pitching "prospects." There are no such creatures. And you may not have noticed, but young Mr. Gose has begun to establish himself as a perennial All-Star. The others are close behind, with the exception of Bogaaerts, who is still in the pipeline. And by the way: no talking during class.</div>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">Professor Jansen and Brother Blocker,<br><br>Somehow the list got cut off at the top 30 on my message. What happened to Xander Boaaerts? Nick Franklin?

<div>Brother Blocker, I don't remember calling on you. Before I take you to the principal's office for your daily paddle let me remind the class: If any of you think a KC minor league pitcher who ranks #29 on BA's mid-season list is a "prospect," you will be sent to the school nurse to be tested for drugs and alcohol.</div>

<div>Brother Fruit: That was an outstanding pun. I am glad to see someone around here shows a little initiative. Please submit an application to serve as my teaching assistant next semester. </div>
