]]> Comment on My Yankees Top 20 Prospects by Ron Ackner http://www.ronackner.com/2008/01/04/my-yankees-top-20-prospects/#comment-10 Ron Ackner Sun, 06 Jan 2008 07:25:21 +0000 http://www.ronackner.com/2008/01/04/my-yankees-top-20-prospects/#comment-10 Thanks for the comment, it's much appreciated. I agree with you on the tall pitcher issue, I will likely be writing a piece on Tall Pitcher Syndrome this week, so that's something to look forward to. As to the issue with Jairo Heredia and Austin Romine... The two are for the most part equatable with the 15-20 clump of players. I think that the Yankees prospects fall in a series of groups - the first is the elite/Top-100 prospects (Joba, Kennedy, A-Jax, Tabata, and questionably Horne). The second group are players 5-12 on that list, players with either very high upside, or with moderate upside who are also close to the majors. 13 and 14 are players who kind of belong in that group but who I am kind of iffy on. Players 15-20 and a few beyond are all pretty much equatable, and Heredia and Romine fall into that "and beyond" section. Thanks for the comment, it’s much appreciated.

I am glad you are stilli high on Betances, I for one feel that he is an ace caliber pitcher. As you mentioned, those with more moving parts (due to height) take longer to reach their ceiling. I might have included Jario Heredia, and possibly Austin Romine as well. Romine profiles just as well as Angelini, and neither have played a minor league season yet. Not bad.

]]> Comment on Free Windows Chat Clients Go Head-to-Head by Ron Ackner http://www.ronackner.com/2008/01/03/free-windows-chat-clients-go-head-to-head/#comment-7 Ron Ackner Fri, 04 Jan 2008 06:55:08 +0000 http://www.ronackner.com/2008/01/03/free-windows-chat-clients-go-head-to-head/#comment-7 I guess ICQ slipped my mind because it's a protocol I don't really use, and it is starting to drop a bit in popularity. That said, it is one of the major protocols out there, and I probably could have mentioned it. While the Wikipedia feature on Trillian can be useful, I've never really felt that it was that useful. In addition, it can cause lag, and a similar feature could probably also be added into Pidgin if someone felt that that feature was really useful.
