Six-pack for Thursday

Top six minor league prospects for the Red Sox........

6) Michael Bowden, P-- AA hitters hit .279 against him, but is only 21; Rangers took Gabbard instead of him in Gagne trade.

5) Ryan Kalish, OF-- Was hitting .368 in Class A when he got hit by pitch and broke bone in his hand.

4) Jed Lowrie, SS-- Switch-hitting SS from Stanford hit .300 in 160 AAA at-bats LY. Could be used as trade bait.

3) Justin Masterson, P-- Pitched at San Diego State for Tony Gwynn; has been starter, but is seen as reliever long-term.

2) Lars Anderson, 1B-- Lefty hit 11 homers LY, but only one went to RF-- good fielder who needs to get stronger, but is seen as an excellent prospect.

1) Clay Buchholz, P-- Threw no-hitter in one of his four starts in majors; but only has 38 IP in AAA, 22 in majors. Will be in rotation because of Schilling's injury.

Thursday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but..........

13) ESPN should show a spring training game on first day they have games; people in Snow Belt are so hungry to see games, they'd definitely tune in. People want to watch games, not see lawyers quiz players on their off-field activities.

12) Las Vegas actually puts odds out on exhibition games- you could go nuts watching one of those games, with money on it.

11) Eyebrows were raised when Phillies named Brett Myers to start Opening Day for Phillies, but closer look shows that start #2 for the #2 starter is at Shea Stadium against Mets, so Phils want Hamels going in that spot. Myers will miss that series.

10) The Big East is too big with 16 teams, but wouldn't it make more sense for them to play 15 conference games instead of 18, like they do now? Play everyone else once, then you can tone down your non-league schedules. Then their coaches can stop whining about hard their league it.

9) Did the Patriots hire Dom Capers as assistant coach in case Bill Belichick gets suspended for a year because of Spygate? It isn't like the Patriots to hire a former head coach.

8) Nashville police saved Vanderbilt $50,000 by stopping kids from storming the floor after Vandy beat Tennessee. SEC fines schools for court/field-storming episodes, and this would have been Commodores' third such offense, so police did their job, and saved the school a significant fine.

7) Drake PG Adam Emmenecker was a walk-on, never scored as many as 13 points in a high school game, has four majors in his college studies (NO ONE has four majors) and is probably the Player of the Year in the Missouri Valley Conference. Amazing.

6) Vikings released QB Kelly Holcomb, the most obscure QB to pass for 400+ yards in a playoff game. Hard to believe no NFL team could use him as a backup. Same can't be said for David Carr, whose career may be over after Carolina released him.

5) Two Kansas Jayhawk players have had young relatives die in recent weeks; real life can be cruel. Have to keep things like that in mind when trying to figure out why Kansas hasn't been as sharp in recent games. Real life provides distractions.

4) ESPN has David Thompson too low on its Top 25 list at #8; they showed his highlights last night- analyst Stephen Bardo didn't know that dunking was illegal when Thompson was in college. NC State lost one game in his sophomore-junior years.

3) There were total of four fouls called in entire first half of the Kansas-Iowa State game, two on both teams; not sure I've ever seen that. There was lot of contact, just very few whistles.

2) Texas A&M scored 54.3 ppg in losing last three games; they led Texas Tech 56-29 at the half Wednesday. Go figure.

1) If Congress spends any more time investigating steroids, it won't be long before Baseball Tonight is shown on C-SPAN.
