Jonathan Mayo’s blog at mlb.com, “Big, Bald, and Beautiful,” takes a look at Carlos Carrasco, who finished 28th in an earlier survey of professional scouts, who ranked the top 50 prospects in baseball. Lou Marson (scouting report here) was ranked 43rd.

• Tall, athletic body, ideal for pitcher. Quick arm action, good mechanics. Quick worker. Plus stuff with future command. Live arm. Fastball jumps on hitters, sinks and tails. Downer curve with bite, plus at times. Cut-like slider. Can change slot on change, good late sink and deception, looks like splitter. Good feel for pitching, can get outs, strikeouts on all pitches. Future top of rotation type.

Both Carrasco and Marson were members of the 2006 BlueClaws SAL Championship club.
