AFL wrapup on rotoworld

Nothing too mind-blowing or in-depth than some of the more knowledgeable people here on the minor leaguers, but Pouliot has a nice write up on 6 of our guys in the AFL.
Romo and Anderson seem like they are strikingly similar prospects.

And since when did Nate get so shaky defensively in the OF? You've got wonder about some of these reports.

His ISO-OBP was .027 this year.
To be fair if he's gonna walk like that in the majors, unless he hits like Ichiro or ISO's like Chris Young this year, he's not gonna be all that useful.

Re: AFL wrapup on rotoworld
What he does have is an uncanny sense of how to use his speed. Nate watches pitchers like a hawk... in all honesty, he reminds me a lot of Barry in his later years. Barry's speed was amazingly bad his final years with us...Bonds was caught once in 22 stolen base attempts since 2003, a 95.4% success rate; three times in 33 attempts since 2002, a 90.9% success rate.
And it's not just at that age; since 1996, he was caught 30 times in 204 attempts, an 85.2% rate...still excellent.
Nate will never be a burner, but he finds a way to be a threat, and not a liability, on the basepaths.
I wouldn't say limited speed. He certainly pushes any limits he has with his intelligence.
