Monte Harrison's 32/2 SB/CS in 180 AB's is impressive. I wonder how Harrison's speed compares to Hamilton's.

gatewood went to the same high school I did....about 20 years apart. I saw a lot of his games and I posted a scouting report prior to the draft. I'm not surprised about his K rate. As much as I'd love to see a local kid make a splash he has bust written all over him. He is ALL projection. His hit tool is so suspect I really don't see him having any success. I think he may be the most overrated baseball player I've ever laid eyes on.

Do Judge and Severino qualify for FSL? Maybe Judge does.

 

[Jaypers]

Do Judge and Severino qualify for FSL? Maybe Judge does.

"To qualify for a league list, starting pitchers need to have 1/3 of an inning for each team game; relievers must have 20 appearances for full-season leagues or 10 appearances in short-season leagues. Hitters must have one plate appearance per team game. Players may qualify for more than one league list, and anyone who was rookie-eligible to begin the season can make a list, even if they exhaust their rookie eligibility during the season."
