Help: collecting Saber research articles about prospects

I've read several good research articles regarding the value of draft picks (like this one), or the merits of minor league equivalencies, and so on. I bookmark them most of the time, but after a while I end up doing a little cleaning house on the computer, or I lose track of where I put them, etc. delicious has helped me since then, but I was wondering if you all could lend a hand.

If it's prospect related sabr research, give me the link and topic and it would be greatly appreciated. I'm putting together a "reading room" on my blog, which covers the Cardinal farm system. I figured it would be handy not only for myself, but also my readers to have some sort of one stop place where get this type of info.

I don't know if this is what you're looking for,

but here’s an article about defensive minor league statistics. It has a link to a site where “total zone” is shown for all minor leaguers. Much cruder than UZR or something like that, but still very interesting.
