eh, its not even worth it. my assessment is based on scouting and the fact that 18 year olds tend to struggle at those levels. If you want to look at the numbers and say he's not much of anything, thats great...
His glove is gold worthy, will hit for average. Might hit 10-15 HR's. I don't think he is #7 worthy but between 10-15 seems reasonable.
I saw Paulino play quite a bit and talked to his coaches about him. He had one of the most mature approaches I saw in the many NYP games I went to. As a 17 year old. His glove is pretty terrible and he might not have elite power yet. But the way he approached at bats was incredibly impressive. I see him as a corner OF with .285/.400/.485, maybe about 20 HR. He'll be a big leaguer in 3 years. The name I kept hearing was Manny Ramirez, both in ability and in attitude.
Did you have the list posted?
Where did brett jackson rank?
Also, Keith Law said that the Twins have the 2nd best Farm System after the Cardinals right now. I'm not sure if it is that high, but it is very nice to see after Bill Smith decimated our Farm System while GM. Terry Ryan has cleaned up the Farm pretty quickly after that mess.
@Jaypers413 (IL)
Syndergaard at the bottom of the list - meaning, you aren't too optimistic he'll develop the curveball?
Klaw (3:41 PM)
yes, that is the primary reason he's not higher on the list.
Aside from that, I still don't buy his explanation for Arenado's complete omission.
What was it, if you don't mind.
Never had a high ceiling to begin with. Subpar stats. Lazy.
Lindor is 19 /12, not 18. Just pointing that out. You can say baez has holes, that is possible. I personally see "a bunch of holes" in his swing. I can tell you that Giancarlo Stanton has holes in swing, and I don't see that being argued.
If you want to do an over/under of Lindor's career high in Homeruns, I would take UNDER 20, for say $500 and not blink twice. Watch this tiny little dude play, and show me way the power is coming from. Its not there, and is NOT going to be there.
Can an Insider tell me how many Astros made the list?
I'm sure Correa, Singleton, and Springer did. Not sure about DeShields, Cosart, or Foltynewicz. Jaypers already said no McCullers.
The thing that's blowing my mind is Robbie Grossman at 105. He doesn't crack the BA Top 10 list (and Domingo Santana is probably #11 on that list) - so how does he crack the Top 110 in this list?
Deshields is 83
Cosart is 86
No Foltynewicz
