	Minor League Ball :: Minor Leagues blog featuring John Sickels
		His major league performance is not out of line with his minor league numbers, and it is apparent that the Rockies gave up on him too quickly.
		The Fall League is designed to showcase prospects, give them a chance cap off the season, work on a few things in a competitive environment, and test themselves against other top prospects, sort of an hyper-advanced form of the instructional league.
		He was considered to be one of the best pure athletes in the draft class, but fell to the second round due to the fact that he was rather raw in baseball, plus he had a basketball scholarship to UCLA and a football scholarship to Nebraska on the table.
