Great analysis, Kevin. From now on will you ONLY tweet links to your $$$ sites, so I can feel better about myself for subscribing to BP for $.11 a day.

Can you explain why Miguel Montero has the same value in Mixed $ versus AL/NL $ since most catchers are have higher value in League specific formats? I guess the same question could be asked about Avila.
Kevin, I live in Hickory so what are the odds that Profar stays here the rest of the year? While watching the Futures Game this came up in conversation with my wife after Profar hit the gap triple. Not wanting to explain but we have three kids under seven and just got back from a beach trip so conversation and baseball viewing was... well you get the picture.
Great to see something about Matt West. I was afraid he had been released after his poor showing at Hickory last season. My four-year-old still talks about him getting hit in the head with a pitch in a game we saw here in 2010. He will be interested to know that West is now pitching.
I know it's still early in Spring Training. Is Chris Davis still intriguing enough to consider either by playing above Mitch Moreland for first base AB's or DH'ing should Adrian Beltre's calf be a chronic issue (with Michael Young moving to third)? I realize Davis has been a tease but he is still young.
Christina, try to make time to read the Lowenfish book but I can imagine that someone who has to deal with writing all the time, you have many things on the "to read" list...luckily for me, I don't have to deal with writing all the time and get to spend my down time reading certain select items particularly the 2011 Baseball Prospectus.
I had the pleasure of sitting behind Matt Thompson when he was charting pitches for two or three games this past season in Hickory. He engaged with my two boys (five and three years old) between innings and was a class act all the way around. I will be rooting for him to improve on the sleeper ranking in 2011.
