Any thoughts?

-Arenado dropped to far in my opinion
-Gary Sanchez should be higher
-Not really sure how you can justify Jacob Turner over Odorizzi or Teheran at this point
-Shelby Miller dropped a ton; too far in my opinion
-Jose Fernandez should be a LOT higher

Comment away!

9) Oscar Taveras, OF, St. Louis Cardinals (62)
29) Kolten Wong, 2B, St. Louis Cardinals (56)

Happy with these.......it appears that the Cards are preparing to "revamp" Miller since he has been awful.

 

[Bill Bray Collector]

Corcino made a really nice jump and Stephenson right behind him. Also nice to see Lotzkar make the list as well.

 

[Messier2]

Noah Syndegaard over Aaron Sanchez? WTF?

 

[TGutta]

Nice to see Oswaldo Arcia and Eddie Rosario make big jumps. Sano up a couple notches as well. Still holding out some hope that Hicks can finish the year strong. Not really doing horrible at AA, just not overly impressing anyone right now.

Surprised to see Taijuan Walker jump 10 spots after his month long struggles.

I was thinking the same thing.

 

[bigpapiMA32]

Nice to see Bradley debut at 36!

 

[MallCopKJ]

Wow, I guess he really likes Xander. Nice!

 

[markakis8]

Buckel WAY too low Cingrani, being a lefty, thought would be a tad higher and Straily doesn't even crack the top 120? WTF!?

There are always a few guys whom the "experts" rank extremely high, despite less-than-stellar numbers. Coming into this season, Mike Montgomery and Martin Perez were two of them. Walker appears to be the next in line.

George Springer is another head scratcher. Absolutely been a beast so far this year, yet only jumped a few spots.

 

[morgoth]

No cingrani that I could find

#94. Seems about right to me, even though hes had a very solid year, still question marks on him being a starter

George Springer is another head scratcher. Absolutely been a beast so far this year, yet only jumped a few spots.

Has Springer even outshone his teammate Domingo Santana?

Springer - .305/.385/.550 16 homers, 34 xbh, 88 k, 17 sbs, .935 OPS
Santana - .292/.363/.531 11 homers, 31 xbh, 80 k, 4 sbs, .894 OPS

Domingo is nearly 3 years younger than Springer, with no collegiate experience, putting up comparable offensive numbers (besides SBs) against the same competition. Of course, we're also talking Cal league so a lot remains to be proven in other contexts.

The same experts rank Jurickson Profar the top minor league player over guys with significantly better numbers. Present/future tools, projection, and makeup are the things that the experts hang their hats on.

 

[padremurph]

Was expecting to see Rymer Liriano somewhere in the 30s. He struggled early but has been on a tear lately getting promoted to AA last week.

Jurickson Profar, Manny Machado are these guys cards selling well? I checked completed listings but haven't followed sales over the course of the season. $45-50 for a Profar chrome, time to sell?

Both of those guys are long term holds. You're leaving alot of money on the table selling either.

Thanks. I know little of either guy. Pulled the cards from packs last year.
