Does anybody have any thoughts on Jantzen Witte?  He put together a pretty nice year last year, his first of full-season ball, and is off to a good start this year.  He's not terribly old for Portland.  All I know is what soxprospects tells me.  Is he a legit prospect to keep an eye on?

I would disagree with this.  He is the same age as failed prospect Oscar Tejada, who is also having a good year in Portland.  I still say no.
