Bill - After scouting Taylor this year I would have to completely agree that this kid has all the tools/by far the best minor lge position player I have seen all year/I am not one to get involved with this type of debate or making comments/ however, in this case, I feel very strongly about both his ability and performance this year. He has done it all for me, hit, hit for power, run well for a big guy and displays a plus throwing arm with accuracy, instincts, intangibles, etc, etc/he has made tremendous strides from last year and, simply put, is fun to watch play. It is scary to think that there are that many more qualified minor lge players with equal or better ability/I rest my case!!!!
Bill Conlin: Phillies should make prospect Taylor untouchable

My sentiments, exactly. I went to bed after the game last night hoping the nightmare does not recur, that I will not see the smiling faces of GM John Quinn and manager Gene Mauch gloating once again over how they stole veteran righthanders Larry Jackson and Bob Buhl from the Cubs for first baseman John Herrnstein, outfielder Adolfo Phillips and a lightly used young relief pitcher named Ferguson Jenkins.
The horror . . . The horror . . . Still, after all these years. *
