Why would Lars have poor karma? Who knows what devilry Lars could've been up to in a previous life? The man could've slaughtered peaceful English monks during Viking raids for all we know. Drivfan must know something. Spill it, drivfan! Was he really Vlad the Impaler?!

Or at least that is how I took it. I base most of my baseball opinions on karma so I know a thing or two about this. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (klostrophobic) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211731 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:10:11 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211721/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211721 feeds@kickapps.com (chavopepe2) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211721 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:37:34 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211717/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211717 feeds@kickapps.com (AMarshal2) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211717 Sun, 29 Nov 2009 20:33:35 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211630/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211630 feeds@kickapps.com (drivfan08) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211630 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 21:29:32 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211577/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211577 feeds@kickapps.com (Boomerangs) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211577 Sat, 28 Nov 2009 05:03:57 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211468/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211468 feeds@kickapps.com (mastaexarkun) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211468 Fri, 27 Nov 2009 00:48:25 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211443/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211443 feeds@kickapps.com (LennSakata) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211443 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 19:02:37 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211432/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211432 feeds@kickapps.com (Jrou8809) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211432 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:04:39 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211431/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211431
At age 18/19 Rizzo's 2008/2009 split numbers in Greenville.

Given that Rizzo is much better defensively at 1B than Lars I can see Lars going the DH route and Rizzo taking over 1B in few year provided they are not traded. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (IKONOS) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211431 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 16:42:16 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/211426/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html#reply-211426 feeds@kickapps.com (Jrou8809) http://forum-soxprospects.com/sreply/211426 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:56:04 PST http://forum-soxprospects.com/topic/5269/t/Westmoreland-vs-Rizzo-vs-Anderson.html
Like most sox fans I am exited about westmoreland and I hope he can stay healthy and rise up the minors. Understandably he gets lot of press just like Lars did sometime back. Rizzo on the other hand seems like flying under the radar. Casey Kelly got rare reviews for dominating in both Greenville and Salem in the same season and it seems like Rizzo achieved similar success on the hitting side at the same young age (he recently turned 20) with out much of the same press. I guess part of it is because of the bonus the other players got compared to Rizzo but it could be something else that I am not aware off. I have read through the scouting reports on all three of them but I am interested in a comparative analysis from the experts on these boards of the three hitters in their strengths, weakness and projections.

Appreciate your comments.
Ik.
