he made it to A after 121 professional plate appearances
just months after he was drafted. the idea was to move him along quickly and get him against more serious competition. he still hit .286, which ain’t bad for someone who still can’t legally drink.
Also the only 2B prospect in the top 100
When was the last time we had a proper second baseman? Mark Loretta? Has it been so long?

MLB.com list is soooo different than all the other publications
Casey Kelly was in the top 100 also, Alonso wasn’t
It’s like they aren’t even trying.

I'm pretty sure Alonso is in MLB.com's Top 100, at No. 39
Kelly is No. 50

yeah, not sure what to make of their assessments
They make Spagenberg sound incredible while (was it?) fangraphs said he had trouble hitting in A ball and may need to slow down.
I don’t know if that’s how bad 2B prospects are these days…. but it’s always good to have someone listed high.
If he is ready to go by mid/late 2013, that would be awesome. 2014 would look really good.
