http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=6943I've said it a million times, the only thing more overrated then Adenhart is the Angels farm.
I think Wood should be 5 stars...he has put up rediculous numbers every year and just hasn't gotten a chance on the major league level yet.

Nah. He's not a 5-star spec. He took a step back in 2007. He went from .276/.355/.552 in 2006 to .272/.338/.497 in 2007. A shortstop who posts a .907 OPS (2006) is a 5 star prospect. A third baseman who posts an .835 OPS (2007) is a 4 star prospect, at best. His position switch from SS to 3B really analled his value.
Correct, one of the reasons why Votto isn't thought of a a top 10 spect. He would really have to mash, since he plays 1B. 1B, 3B, and corner outfield spots you look for power before any other tool.
Overrated system indeed, only people I see doing something in the majors are Adenhart, Wood, and possibly Sean Rodriguez.
