[Cardinals (A)]

32. Beau Mills
37. Desmond Jennings
38. Eric Hurley
63. Bill Rowell
75. Blake Beavan

Just five, but three guys who weren't on the Goldstein list.

This is true of course, though 3 of the 9 are from my moves. Not bad for one draft and one season.

[Yankees GM (A)]

I've never heard of Koby Schellenger, is he worth reading?

Having written for other sites and blogs, he now has his own site at Mound Talk. I suppose the best way for you to decide is to check out some of his work at www.moundtalk.com/. He has also written for Project Prospect and Fantasy Info Central.com among other sites. Baseball Daily Digest just announced that he will covering the farm systems from the Central Divisions in both the AL and NL for them.

When not writing, Schellenger works part-time as the Corporate Service and Marketing Manager for the Madison Mallards of the Northwoods League which is a member of the Summer Collegiate Baseball Association. A 2005 graduate of the University of Wisconsin, he will turn 24 in March. He was also an Operations Intern for the Chicago Cubs Triple-A affiliate in Des Moines, IA in 2006. Schellenger is originally from Oshkosh, WI.

Edit: From Baseball Digest: Koby Schellenger...Koby has been a Milwaukee Brewers fan his whole life. His first game at Milwaukee County stadium was July 25th, 1990 as he watched Roger Clemens throw a three-hitter to beat his beloved Brewers. Over the years he's been to 11 Glendon Rusch losses in Miller Park, Randall Simon's ill-advised use of a bat against a sausage, and Ben Sheets 18 strikeout game.

Koby covers the world of baseball prospects for MoundTalk. He has contributed to several sites over the past few years until deciding to launch his own site in January 2007.


Bottom line is that he is a baseball fan who is a prolific writer appearing to be gaining credibility and increasing his contacts in the world of baseball prospects.
