| 12:17 |
: Good afternoon from my mother’s breakfast nook in Port Charlotte! I fly to Florida a number of days early to see household earlier than trekking as much as Orlando for Winter Conferences. I can’t wait to do Disney character voices for my friends.
|
| 12:17 |
: I count on chat can be nearer to 45 minutes at the moment as a result of I’ve to wrap up my evaluation of final evening’s Pirates/Purple Sox commerce.
|
| 12:17 |
: SO let’s get to it.
|
| 12:18 |
: Curious to know you probably have something on Seojun Moon that the bluejays signed earlier?
|
| 12:19 |
: Yeah, actually well-built Korean child sitting about 93. Prototypical 6-foot-3 body, handsome supply, command is sort of erratic. In all probability would have been a prime three choose within the KBO draft, seems like 1,000,000 greenback arm to me. Possibly received a bit extra as a result of late-market guys are likely to, not a horrible comfort prize for being the Roki runner up.
|
| 12:19 |
: Questioning if you understand something concerning the Florida bridge league, any Jays standout and the way was Jojo Parker?
|
| 12:20 |
: I’m not even positive there was sport exercise in Florida after the complicated season. The Florida groups appear a lot much less organized.
|
| 12:20 |
: Jared Serna’s energy numbers nosedived this 12 months. Out of your earlier reviews it looks like he by no means had a TON of energy, however swung exhausting sufficient to at the least be a risk. Did one thing meaningfully change this season?
|
| 12:23 |
: Onerous hit fee dipped from 46% to 39%. The height exit velo measurables have been mainly the identical (EV 90 and max have been each fairly good) however his launch angle cratered. I’d want o pull up and examine video to see if it was swing-change associated, or if he was being approached otherwise by pitchers.
|
| 12:23 |
: Do the Dodgers have sufficient to go for a three-peat or does veteran fatigue begin to catch up? I haven’t dug deep into their prospect listing but it surely appears extra future-oriented that 2026-youth-injection-oriented.
|
| 12:24 |
: They’re ok to do it, however you’re proper that they’re extra prone to leverage the farm system for trades than they’re to have a bunch of rookies spearheading their title protection subsequent 12 months. I nonetheless assume River Ryan is a dude, although, he ought to assist.
|
| 12:24 |
: Do you may have any up to date ideas on Aroon Escobar? Curious if his EVs and exhausting contact held up as he made it to AA.
|
| 12:28 |
: He solely performed 5 video games at Studying, not likely a large enough pattern to find out if there was a dip. His full season information was nice: 76% contact, 43% exhausting hit, peak exits a shade above the large league common. A ’25 choose to click on who did.
|
| 12:29 |
: Did you get an opportunity to see Yohanfer Santana in his return this season? Something to quell your pleasure?
|
| 12:29 |
: On video, sure.
|
| 12:29 |
:
|
| 12:30 |
: Love him nonetheless. I do know he’s behind the developmental curve however I don’t actually care, this man’s a freak.
|
| 12:30 |
: How dangerous did the Pirates fleece the Purple Sox in yesterday’s commerce?
|
| 12:31 |
: I’m too apprehensive about Garcia’s plate self-discipline to make use of language that robust, although I do assume it made a ton of sense for Pittsburgh.
|
| 12:31 |
: Based on WalkOff, I’m the #1 Andrew Wiggins fan on the positioning. Are you able to guess my faculty group?
|
| 12:32 |
: One among Indiana, NC State or perhaps (on a lark) Kansas
|
| 12:32 |
: What do you consider Nathan flewelling
|
| 12:33 |
: A really thrilling, projectable (each bodily and from a abilities standpoint) lefty-hitting catcher. Younger for the category Canadian child 6-foot-2, love the hip and hand sep he will get throughout his swing. In all probability a sluggish burn dev challenge however very nice upside for a man who received below 1,000,000 bucks.
|
| 12:33 |
: Hey Eric! At this time, of Astros prospects Brito and Pecko, which do you assume is almost definitely to develop into a quantity 3-4 starter in MLB?
|
| 12:34 |
: Pecko. Brito I dig however he’s a reliever. A very good one, like David Robertson kind I believe. Pecko seems extra like a starter to me, physique and supply clever.
|
| 12:34 |
: Do you may have a scouting report for Adonys Guzman?
|
| 12:34 |
: Killer arm backup catcher profile.
|
| 12:34 |
: Two prospects I’d love to listen to your ideas on, particularly with reference to greatest final result, worst final result, and almost definitely final result!
Charlie Condon |
| 12:37 |
: Loopy excessive finish for George is perhaps one thing like Brett Gardner? Extra doubtless a pleasant additional outfielder.
|
| 12:38 |
: Condon the ceiling is Kris Bryant, the extra doubtless final result is like Wily Mo Pena, perhaps Tyler O’Neill kind. I believe he’s gonna Ok a ton, there’s actual juice tho.
|
| 12:38 |
: Any new reviews on Konnor Griffin’s protection at quick? The stats individuals appear to be in.
|
| 12:39 |
: I hope to have a hyper detailed one up on the positioning as a part of the Shortstop Prospect Protection collection. It’s higher than it was in highschool for positive.
|
| 12:39 |
: Past Walker Jenkins and Emmanuel Rodriguez, who can I get actually enthusiastic about for the Twins this coming 12 months? Are there any place gamers who would possibly make the leap from the minors?
|
| 12:40 |
: I betcha see Prielipp and Culpepper this 12 months. Kendry Rojas is extra a no. 4/5 for me than midrotation kind, however he’ll debut. Gabriel Gonzalez I’ve had reservations about due to his chase and lack of athleticism however he retains hitting.
|
| 12:41 |
: Sal Stewart medium time period resolution at 1b for Reds?
|
| 12:41 |
: Yeah
|
| 12:41 |
: Are you able to distinction Ryan Waldschmidt and Carson Benge? Their scouting reviews are tremendous comparable. Waldy looks like a proper handed model of Benge. Thanks!
|
| 12:41 |
: Benge is far more angular and fluid, Waldschmidt is muscular and volcanic, Benge a greater pure athlete.
|
| 12:43 |
: What do you assume an affordable return for Brendan Donovan would possibly appear like by way of FV prospects?
|
| 12:45 |
: Two years of management over a man who has carried out like a 60? Ought to be a reasonably large haul. A few 50 FV guys and possibly one or two extra much less fliers. Whenever you’re buying and selling a very good participant you are likely to get a very good prospect again per 12 months of management after which some filler.
|
| 12:45 |
: Will Rincones Jr be able to contribute to the Phillies outfield someday in 2026?
|
| 12:46 |
: In a platoon capability, yeah. Lemme peek at his splits fast…
|
| 12:46 |
: .220 xwOBA versus lefties in 2025, that tracks
|
| 12:47 |
: Will Ethan Fray’s efficiency in Low A change his 35+ grade on this 12 months’s Houston prospect outlook?
|
| 12:47 |
: Nah, a giant faculty man like that ought to destroy Low-A
|
| 12:47 |
: Low A pitching, particularly late within the 12 months when the most effective guys have been promoted, is dangerous.
|
| 12:47 |
: Are you able to examine and contract Cristofer Torin and Geraldo Perdomo at comparable levels? Each appear tremendous similar- good D at SS, excessive contact, nice plate self-discipline, low energy.
|
| 12:49 |
: Torin doesn’t have that sort of bodily projection. Love his bat to ball acumen however on the similar stage Perdomo was a 6-foot-ish man who now seems nearer to 6-foot-3, watch Gerry when he’s standing subsequent to Machado, they’re mainly the identical measurement. Torin is a wee lad.
|
| 12:49 |
: The Purple Sox appear a bit overloaded with AAA pitching. I do know there can be some accidents, but when the rotation is Crochet, Grey, Bello, Sandoval, and Crawford, how do you kind by Tolle, Early, Harrison, Oviedo, Dobbins, Drohan, Uberstine, Sandlin, and Perales. They’ll’t all go to AAA.
|
| 12:49 |
: Perales, Drohan, and Oviedo are all relievers for them I believe. Harrison may be, too.
|
| 12:50 |
: Do you assume the Dbacks ought to commerce away Ketel Marte to fill all of the holes on their roster?
|
| 12:51 |
: Blerg, I don’t assume I could be goal about Ketel.
|
| 12:52 |
: If the Snakes assume they’ve good participant dev then they need to have the ability to resolve a few of the pitching issues in home. Proper?
|
| 12:53 |
: But when they received again a real entrance finish arm (consider how miserly I’m) plus a nook bat…
|
| 12:53 |
: I’d relatively see them transfer Lawlar to somebody who’s nonetheless in
|
| 12:53 |
: Is that this prospect crop the weakest of all time? Guys within the 40-60 vary I don’t assume would have been ranked 10 years in the past. And what occurred to all of the Acuñas and Sotos and Tatises?
|
| 12:54 |
: What number of corridor of fame gamers do it’s good to see on a given 12 months’s prospect listing?
|
| 12:55 |
: Is there any juice in any respect with Feliz Reyes? 160 wRC+ in mainly a full AA season
|
| 12:56 |
: Noticed him with the Pigs late, he has actual energy, extra Darin Ruf than Rys Hoskins by way of roster match. Assume he’ll rake in Asia.
|
| 12:57 |
: Many Mets commerce rumors focus on Jonah Tong. What’s your outlook for him? Mid-rotation man? Higher? Worse? I haven’t considered him as “untouchable” like McLean…
|
| 12:57 |
: Mid-rotation, assume the Lincecum comps have been irresponsible
|
| 12:58 |
: His fastball performs in such a manner that he can have fringe command and nonetheless survive, however he ain’t McLean
|
| 12:58 |
: In a earlier chat you talked about Jose Corniell leaving his final AFL begin with an obvious harm. Have you ever heard what the harm was?
|
| 12:58 |
: No
|
| 12:58 |
: May simply be a black field, the requirements round harm reviews outdoors the common season are poor.
|
| 12:58 |
: Have you ever adjusted the way in which you grade catchers’ fielding in gentle of ABS, or are the restricted variety of challenges too few to have an effect on their defensive grade?
|
| 12:59 |
: I believe the latter, and I really assume a catcher’s potential to problem would possibly actually *add* a dynamic to their affect general.
|
| 12:59 |
: The catcher has the perfect have a look at any given pitch, proper?
|
| 1:00 |
: Typically I do assume poor framers will induce the hitter to problem pitches they need to not, they’ll make the pitch look so dangerous that the hitter thinks it’s a ball.
|
| 1:00 |
: That’s going to be humorous.
|
| 1:00 |
: And a few guys are going to have the ability to goad the dummies into dangerous challenges like this.
|
| 1:00 |
: It’s gonna be superior, I can’t wait.
|
| 1:00 |
: What do you make of the return for Sonny Grey?
|
| 1:01 |
: I dug it. Clarke might be a reliever however he’s so, so nasty. That’s an elite slider and he throws 100.
|
| 1:02 |
: Does Bryce Rainer’s misplaced season have an effect on his FV in your opinion?
|
| 1:02 |
: Kinda, it meant he couldn’t really persuade me that he’s really going to hit like he may need if he’d had a complete season.
|
| 1:02 |
: What grade do you assume Jacob Lombard is?
|
| 1:03 |
: 40+ at greatest, terrifying contact information, energy is actual
|
| 1:03 |
: I assume its moot for one more 12 months now however wasnt Dominguez a fairly extremely regarded CF on protection as a prospect? I do know YS is a troublesome LF however why would he wrestle a lot there?
|
| 1:03 |
: Not right here
|
| 1:04 |
: “The place he wants to enhance is on protection. Maybe as a result of he’s missed prolonged time because of harm, Domínguez has sketchy really feel for his place. His reads and routes could be wayward, and he seems uncomfortable on the catch level. He runs fairly nicely, however not nicely sufficient to play heart discipline with out good instincts and really feel.”
|
| 1:04 |
: right here was some extent when he was very younger and quick that it was believable he might develop on the market, however he hasn’t
|
| 1:04 |
: How actual was final 12 months for Perdomo?
|
| 1:04 |
: Actual actual
|
| 1:05 |
: He’s an elite make-up man, he busts his ass
|
| 1:06 |
: Who’s extra prone to develop into a giant league common: Junior Perez or Henry Bolte?
|
| 1:06 |
: Bolte, the pace provides him a extra lifelike roster match. Perez (67% contact fee, stark inside out batted ball profile) seems dicey to me.
|
| 1:06 |
: What’s your view of the Rockies bringing Josh Byrnes on board?
|
| 1:08 |
: I adore it, they add somebody who has been an integral a part of the most effective group in sports activities and who has excessive stage government expertise. Went from a spot I wouldn’t wanna work to at least one that I believe it’s important to hearken to in the event that they name.
|
| 1:09 |
: Have you ever heard something about why it took Alejandro Rosario so lengthy to have his TJ?
|
| 1:10 |
: Sure, it has to do with a separate medical difficulty that prevented him from having the surgical procedure like anybody else would.
|
| 1:10 |
: I do know that scouting the statline isn’t a fantastic exercise, however “hey, this individual is 20 years previous and is surviving in AA with out loopy babip luck. He’ll most likely be a fairly good huge leaguer” has been a fairly good analysis heuristic for me. What’s your favourite tremendous fast heuristic with analysis that tends to work out fairly nicely with evals?
|
| 1:10 |
: Are you Ok’ing greater than 25% of the time within the low minors? That’s scary.
|
| 1:10 |
: If Jordan Lawlar have been nonetheless a prospect what FV grade would you give him? Ought to I be involved about his poor exhibiting within the majors to date?
|
| 1:11 |
: Man, that’s powerful. I’m frightened about him. I didn’t watch his CF work in LIDOM but, that may be a giant deal.
|
| 1:11 |
: Baseball America listed Nate George as the most effective hitter and greatest athlete within the Orioles system. Very curious what you consider that
|
| 1:12 |
: I believe he’s going to be examined by higher velocity and am extra apprehensive than they appear to be.
|
| 1:14 |
: Okay guys, there are nonetheless plenty of good questions however I must go be a very good prospect author and son. Search for my Pirates/BoSox commerce evaluation quickly, please learn the entire Dodgers listing with a pleasant weekend substance of your alternative. Speak to you subsequent week.
