Giolito will be a top 5 or better pitcher? Fairly bold even for a stud prospect.

I love my guys outside the top 100. It's all subjective. Players make big jumps year after year. Some are fortunate enough to start off in the top 50... others gotta earn it.

yap the top 100 list are more about potential. they are filled with guys with shitty MiLB numbers. there were a bunch of guys with good MiLB numbers who went late but may not have the upside of some of these guys

and lets face it, these guys flop way more than they hit

Exactly. It really comes down to how much effort you put into following minor league reports throughout the year. A lot of my prospects in HC were acquired via the wire, and not in a draft.

I forgot they got Scherzer. He will be better than Stras, Zimm, Fister, etc.

Keith Law is telling me to be patient, but as soon as Dom Smith is at a .685 OPS in mid-July at Class A, dat dude is gone to the wire

I dont understand how he keeps making these lists

Apparently he plays in a big park and is still young

He'll be lucky if the get him anywhere close to 150 innings. They're babying him big time.

Are these based on the 361 site rankings?

I don't really have a farm to fap to, but I get a little bit of a chub from Norris, Wisler, Meyers, and possibly Hultzen. I like my arms in my farm system.

just to ensure I'm not doing anything illegal, I picked up Yoan Lopez.

He was signed by Arizona before the draft began.

I'm good, right?

I will tell Ya

Wisler will be off of top prospect lists soon, I reckon. He got beat up once he got promoted. Plus there is no room for him in SD, especially with Shields now.

Hultzen, man, I thought he would be good. He was unreal in Omaha a few years back. Also no room for him. He may be destined to be a left relief specialts

Wisler has some good numbers at AA.

AAA can be hard on young players, with so many older professional hitters

I'll admit that I missed the boat on a lot of the top prospects. I was trying to draft younger MLB guys. I was happy with what I put together considering waiting so late to grab a MiLB guy.

To the entire league:

Out of curiosity, which player is the most you are excited about for the combination of how you feel about them and the round/value you got them in? Also give reasons why you feel that way.

I'm sure there are going to be owners that are going to mention a plethora of names, but my attention skills aren't that great, and Id rather just like to read about one of your picks.

Get your fap on...
