Fornshell has been a solid player in the past, i know that there is also a 2013(he might be a 2012 though) player that goes to minot that is a LHP but i do not know his name, anyone have anything on these guys?

I believe your thinking of Austin Bernston. He's a 2012 guy, but is in the same legion age group as Fornshell. Even though he was Jr Legion age, he played for the Vistas this past summer.

linstaed is not one of the top players in the region or state from the class of 2013. The others seem legit if Widmer hits like he did in the summer rather than last spring

Linsteadt was one of the top hitters for the bombers this summer so i would say he is. I agree with you on widmer, he struggled all of springball but hit well for the bombers.

I belive Linstaedt is one of the top 2013 prospects and the best 1B in the state. When he recently was invited to an mlb scouting event, scouts wrote that "Gunnar Linstaedt is a 2013 1B/RHP with a 6'2" 180 lb. frame from Fargo, North Dakota who attends Davies High School. Tall lean athletic build, looks the part. Pitches from an over the top arm slot, tall and fall delivery. Uses torso and creates whip with lanky arms. Arm is long in back, cut fastball, tight arm action. Fastball gets cut action at times, great use of corners, fields position well, has an idea of how to pitch. Fantasic 11-5 curve, quick bite, great control. At first uses the leather well, backhand digs, quick swipe tags, high quality footwork. Hits from a closed stance, strides closed, short load, low hand set with swaying motion. Leverage in swing, long in back, upper cut swing plane, creates bat speed and pop. Bat works, has great bat speed. Very good student. College Scouting Rank 8.5"

What about Davies Bryton Buth and Norths Andrew Grieve, both potientally dominant lefties from the mound and the plate

If Buth could get stronger and work on command he could become and OK at best pitcher, but will never hit the varsity level. Grieve throws hard but has to much sand in extra areas, if he could work on command he could be a decent pitcher, and an ok hitter/fielder.

Well Buth has extremely fast hands for a power lefty and i think he will have a break out varsity year, Grieve on the other hand needs to sand down and refine his tools so he can be a dominant varsity pitcher

i know he started firstbase for davies but i dont know how well he did, and that he played for the bombers and did pretty well. and to packer backers comment, stephen howlett is a great righty pitcher and will be at the top of the edc this year, same with voss; he can also hit and field his position. and seth tollefson is also a good SS/2nd baseman who can hit and pitch also.

have you seen howlett swing a bat, voss doesn't even know how to use correct form to lead off, and tollefson has only warning track power.

Howlett is going to get hit around at the varsity level, lets be honest. He has a 75-79mph fastball, a curve he cant throw for a strike and a nonexistant change up because its a bounce pass to home plate. If south is going to use him verse a Salentine, Steen, Mapes, Quinlan or Young they will be in for a world of hurt at the merry go around thats going to be going on. As for Voss he has proven himself in the past at the varsity level to be a good solid player who will only get better, and tollefson can contribute with a high average at the plate but i dont see much power.
