WEBVTT - 518 | Top 100 Prospects By Team: What Systems are the Most Loaded?

0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Any trip to Hi. Understand that jem to center field

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's gone, Wow.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:23.799
<v Speaker 2>His first big league swing is gonna be a grand slam,

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 2>the home line swing.

0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>Good time to look to the shop. Welcome back to

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>The Call Up, your go to podcast on the future

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>stars of Major League Baseball. You got arm Late and

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Jack McMullen today, and this is actually the final Top

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.440
<v Speaker 1>one hundred themed episode here on the Call Up. Of course,

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you can follow along with the link to the article

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>in the description here, and we're probably a month and

0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>change away from updating it again, so I'm excited to

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>do that, and that'll include all the new draftees. But

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 1>today's episode, we are taught talking about the top one

0:01:01.280 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>hundred prospects by team, and we'll expand a little bit

0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>with each of these teams about just the overall state

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of their farm system a bit, but the big focus

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:12.039
<v Speaker 1>here is which teams have the most Top one hundred

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 1>prospects and you know how this kind of happened, the

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>trends for those farm systems, and it's going to be

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.399
<v Speaker 1>fun to dive into because some of the farm systems

0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.440
<v Speaker 1>are the same that you expect to continue to have

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:24.679
<v Speaker 1>a ton of top one hundred guys. But there's some

0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.279
<v Speaker 1>other farm systems that I think are up and coming

0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>here and I think are jump starting right now, and

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it's exemplified through this Top one hundred update.

0:01:32.800 --> 0:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a good example of which to bony ball right,

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Like the Washington Nationals all of a sudden have five

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 2>top one hundred prospects. We'll talk about Washington, and we're

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 2>going to kind of go team by team and just

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 2>talk about state and health of the farm system and

0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 2>state and health of the organization.

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 3>So it'll be a.

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Good kind of team wide focused conversation instead of, oh,

0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 2>this guy's ground ball rate is up on the hill,

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 2>which is a sign of good things to come. It's

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.600
<v Speaker 2>more overall organizational health. These organizations are in a good

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>position moving forward because of what they have in the

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>farm system. I want to like rinse the bad right away.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 2>There is one team with zero top one hundred prospects

0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:15.359
<v Speaker 2>on the update, and then we'll get to the team

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>with seven, and then we'll get to the team with six.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>But the only team in baseball with zero prospects on

0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Just Baseball's Top one hundred update is the Houston Astros.

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>They don't have a top one hundred prospect. There are

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.959
<v Speaker 2>some guys in that organization that could flirt with the

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 2>top one hundred at some point soon. But if that

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 2>tells you that Houston needs to be selling at the deadline,

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 2>I think I agree with you. They need to bolster

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>this farm system in some form or fashion. Jordan Alvarez

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.520
<v Speaker 2>can do that, Jeremy Panya can do that. There are

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 2>a couple other guys that could possibly do that. But

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.040
<v Speaker 2>having a big fat zero on the top one hundred

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>list is really tough.

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>And it's interesting because they apparently aren't going to trade Jordon.

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>We just broke out. Jeff Patt broke down Jeff Passen

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and Kylie McDaniel's article on ESPN giving you kind of

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a primer probabilities for the trade deadline, and Jeremy Pania

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>was at about thirty percent as well. Maybe that changes,

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, as the Astros maybe fade a little bit more,

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.200
<v Speaker 1>or the al wild card picture becomes a little bit

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>less crappy and they get kind of squeezed out. But

0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was surprising because Panya, with a year

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and a half in control as a shortstop, could really

0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>bring in a hall here for the Astros. And a

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>franchise altering or like at least pharm system altering Hall

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>here that could help them. I'm sure they'll still try

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to sell off some other rental pieces where they can,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.120
<v Speaker 1>but that's something that I really think they need to

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of look back at and say, I understand that

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>we have an expiring exec and Dana Brown and some

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>other moving parts, and we always are in the mode

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of competing. But I think you can, okay, keep yourd

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>on that makes sense. Maybe move the shortstop there in

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Pania if you're not going to extend him who's now

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>repped by Boris, and get a haul. It is better

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>than it was last year, right. Xavier Nians looks like

0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>a solid pick. He's gonna need to, you know, prove

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>that he's not going to swing and miss too much.

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>But that's a guy that we liked out of the draft.

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Super patient, huge raw power, and he's doing pretty well

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.720
<v Speaker 1>through his pro debut. Kevin Alvarez looks like he can

0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>be an exciting player. I think he's you know, blossoming

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more in low way. And Walker Yanick

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>like he's not having a great year offensively at all,

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.320
<v Speaker 1>but he was hurt to start the year. This is

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>still a guy that I'd bet a lot of money,

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, carving out a pretty decent big league career

0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.640
<v Speaker 1>as a catcher with the glove alone. There's just not

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>there's not a ton of depth, there's not a ton

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>of pitching, and ultimately they just need more talent just

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>to be injected into this system.

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if they can take just ten percent of what

0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:40.760
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee has going right now in the farm system, that

0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 2>would be awesome. And that takes us too, the most

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 2>well represented organization in baseball. On Just Baseball's Top one

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 2>hundred update, the Milwaukee Brewers have seven top one hundred

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.359
<v Speaker 2>prospects on the update. Heyzus Miday is the top prospect

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.280
<v Speaker 2>in all of baseball. Luis Panna, another middle infielder in

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.599
<v Speaker 2>Hia right now, is number sixteen, and Logan Henderson the

0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 2>big leaguer, he is number twenty nine. He's on the

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 2>shelf right now. Jet Williams, acquired from the Mets this

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>past offseason, is thirty seven. Luis Laura recently extended, He's

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.280
<v Speaker 2>number forty two. Jefferson Carol been hurt for a long while,

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>but he's still on it. Eighty one, and then Cooper Pratt.

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>The extended and recently debuted short stup sits at number ninety.

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 2>For you, we were talking about the Brewers. It felt

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:26.400
<v Speaker 2>like every episode through the first month and a half

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.440
<v Speaker 2>of the minor league season this year. But I'll stand

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 2>by this. This is as loaded a system as Baltimore

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago when Holiday and it seemed

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 2>like Gunner and Westburg all still had eligibility. This is

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 2>the best system in baseball by a country mile.

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, and you know, we're not including Andrew Fisher, who

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>just might mash his way into the next update. He

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>was a guy that just missed because we had concerns

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.559
<v Speaker 1>about the contact rate as a college bat at HIGA.

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, if that contact rates at sixty one sixty

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 1>two percent as a college bat at HIA, and if

0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you are slugging as much as anybody in minor league baseball,

0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>it's tough to get you into the top one hundred.

0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>It's still at sixty one percent. But he's already homewred

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.320
<v Speaker 1>in his first game at Double A, So I mean,

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Fisher still looks like a guy that could absolutely, you know,

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>be a top one hundred type of prospects. Marco dingis

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>as an eight hundred OPS. They're catching prospects at high A,

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>and this is another just huge upside guy. He moves

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the bad as quickly as anybody in the farm system.

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 1>Luke Adams has really been performing. We just talked about

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>him on the heat sheet. Braylan Pain was another just

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:34.160
<v Speaker 1>miss guy because he has maybe as electrifying of a

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>power speed ceiling as any player in minor league baseball

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>at seventy speed and he's sitting home runs or hitting

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.280
<v Speaker 1>balls already a hundred fifteen miles per hour. Tyson Harden

0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>has been one of the more dominant pitchers over the

0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>last month and change. He looks like and I've seen

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.599
<v Speaker 1>some other outlets have him as a top one hundred

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>prospects like this is nuts. And I'm notn't even mentioned

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Bishop Letson, who's starting to settle in and looks like

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>a solid arm for them as well. I mean, and

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.919
<v Speaker 1>also josh Adam Schaffski, who has in one thousand ops

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>this year and just got promoted up to Double A.

0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>This is insanity. I don't think we've ever really seen

0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.560
<v Speaker 1>a system this good. Also, Brady Ebel, by the way,

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>their first round pick is settling in he looks like

0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>a really solid player. He's still just eighteen years old.

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>And I could go on and on. This is far

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>and away the best farm system in baseball. We said

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>it two years ago, and I think there was some

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.000
<v Speaker 1>pushback then, and now it's just there's no denying it,

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be good for a long time. They've

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.080
<v Speaker 1>got the layers of talent or they're not going anywhere.

0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And depending on how things time up, there's a world

0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>where in the next update they could have ten that's unbelievable.

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Like if one team reminder there are thirty covers ten

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.440
<v Speaker 2>percent of the top one hundred, that would be absolutely

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 2>freaking insane. The only system that comes close in terms

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>of sheer number at top one hundred prospects is the

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 2>LA Dodgers. You've got the Dodgers at six top one

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred prospects on the top one hundred update. Highest rank

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Guy Mike Serota at number fourteen, host Way Topolo. The

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.600
<v Speaker 2>other outfielder at number eighteen, Eduardo Kintaro, another outfielder at

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>thirty six. Another outfielders I your hope is at forty

0:08:08.320 --> 0:08:11.559
<v Speaker 2>River Ryan long been hurt twenty seven years old. Definitely

0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>the oldest top one hunderd prospect you've ever ranked. He's

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 2>at forty one. And then Charles Davilan, a guy that

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>was a recent draftee. He's at number sixty seven. So

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 2>not only are there six top one hundred guys, there

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 2>are six guys in the top seventy for you.

0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I need to just vent out a little bit here,

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>because maybe the most exhausting thing when it comes to

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers discourse is that, oh like the of course

0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.079
<v Speaker 1>another outlet that's just you know, propping up all these

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers prospects, Like it's there's so much just like confirmation

0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>bias there, whatever you want to call it. First of all,

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 1>could not care less if they're a Dodgers prospect or not.

0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I can't make that clear enough. The second thing is

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 1>what would we gain by pumping Dodgers prospects more? We

0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>don't get more clicks for it. I think Dodgers fans

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>at this point like they're pretty happy with the big

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>league team. I don't think they care if we pump

0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven year old River Ryan, which the other and

0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>I've already made the River Ryan case. He would be

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.319
<v Speaker 1>in the rotation on almost any other team in Major

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>League Baseball, and he's at worst a Major League four.

0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>His stuff is crazy. I think the big reason why

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>we're not seeing him consistently rolled out there is that

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>there's a plan and they want him available later in

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the year because this is a guy that I really

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.000
<v Speaker 1>do think they believe can make an impact for them.

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>It's two comfortably plus pitches and it's four above average

0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.079
<v Speaker 1>big league offerings with command that has continued to come along.

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.199
<v Speaker 1>And I always say this back to when people say, oh,

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:36.719
<v Speaker 1>look the Dodgers are getting a pump, which was in

0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the response, is you know when we put out this graphic,

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>who would you leave off post way to Paula has

0:09:43.440 --> 0:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>been one of the best hitters in Minor league baseball

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>this year in Double A as what a twenty one

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 1>year old A young twenty one year old, he is

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a nine to ninety four oh ps Zayre Hope has

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>really started to hit his stride and also just has

0:09:57.400 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 1>some of the best batspeed in the minor leagues. He's

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>at an eight eighteen ops as a twenty one year

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:05.200
<v Speaker 1>old in Double A. Eduardo Kintaro is a plus defensive

0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>center fielder who is twenty years old and really starting

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>to hit his stride now at a HIGA and put

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>up a nine to twenty three ops last year between

0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Low A and Hi A. Mike Serota has gotten on

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.440
<v Speaker 1>base in fifty three fifty four consecutive games, can stick

0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:21.640
<v Speaker 1>in center field, and has some of the best exit

0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 1>velocities in minor league baseball. By the way, he has

0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:26.800
<v Speaker 1>in one thousand and forty three ops between Hya and

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Double A. Just talked about River Ryan, who's a guaranteed

0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>big league starter, and then Charles Davilon. This has been

0:10:34.080 --> 0:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>one of the more solid solid bats in the minor leagues.

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Ninety one percent zone contact rate, eighty three percent overall

0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.880
<v Speaker 1>contact rate, a twenty percent chase and an eighty nine

0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 1>mile per hour average EGX of velocity with strong airpool

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>numbers and a fifteen degree average launch angle. So you

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.760
<v Speaker 1>have a plus bat to ball guy who actually is

0:10:54.760 --> 0:11:00.079
<v Speaker 1>given you average exit velocities and ideal angles. That's to

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 1>be a guy that's going to play quite well at

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.080
<v Speaker 1>the highest level. I just I will bet on that

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.000
<v Speaker 1>any day of the week. And then he does all

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:08.559
<v Speaker 1>the little things really really well, and we didn't even

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>like other outlets have Christians Asueta, who just tossed five

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>perfect the other day in their top one hundred. Others

0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:17.679
<v Speaker 1>have Emeil Morales in there as well, and I wouldn't

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.040
<v Speaker 1>blame them, but I think it's absolutely insane that the

0:11:21.120 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>narrative that gets pushed at like Dodger's prospects get pumped

0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:27.200
<v Speaker 1>up here, because again, you go through each of these players,

0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.520
<v Speaker 1>they are all performing at an extremely high level or

0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>have extremely high upside, and I think for all of

0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>them it's it's kind of both. Yeah.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.520
<v Speaker 2>I also wouldn't blame an outlet for having James Tibbs

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 2>or pushing him into the top one hundred right now.

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 2>He's hitting three hundred to the ten to fifteen ops

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 2>and twenty homers in sixty nine games in Triple A.

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Mind you, it's just that route.

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I believe it's just amazing what they have. And frankly,

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 2>like you're looking at an outfield surplus, I'm sitting here

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 2>scratching my head. Why the hell did they pay Kyle Tucker?

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 2>Did they give Kyle Tucker this? It's because they want

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 2>to win three in a row. I totally understand that,

0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 2>but they're on the hook for three more years after this,

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:09.599
<v Speaker 2>and it's weird to say you're on the hook for

0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Tucker, who is one of the better outfielders in

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball, but you are running out of space.

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Andy Pahes is a franchise centerpiece for you moving forward.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 2>He might be the best outfielder in the National League.

0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>At least he is the top vote yet or in

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 2>terms of All Star voting. So it's like we're sitting

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 2>here talking about Pahes, you know, being that guy that'll

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>be here for the next ten years. We're sitting here

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 2>talking about Tucker getting four years at sixty million dollars

0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 2>a year. Yet you've got like five or six upper

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 2>miners outfielders in their early twenties that would be knocking

0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.040
<v Speaker 2>on the door of literally any other major league situation.

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Imagine dropping three of these guys into the pirate situation.

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>They'd all be starting Like Bosway, Topola would probably be

0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 2>in the big leagues right now, Hope would probably be

0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.600
<v Speaker 2>in the big leagues right now. But like that is

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 2>the Dodger Burton. These guys are going to ops one thousand.

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 2>They're gonna be trapped in Oklahoma City for a little

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.480
<v Speaker 2>bit and they won't get out. Maybe a couple of

0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 2>them will get traded, But then I guarantee you when

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:09.720
<v Speaker 2>one or two come up, they're gonna look really darn good.

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 2>If they don't, they're gonna be Miguel Vargas or Michael

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Bush and turn into amazing players on other teams. Like

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 2>it's just incredible what they do to churn out talent

0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 2>like this every single freaking year.

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.559
<v Speaker 1>One hundred percent. And just a couple other shouts too,

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.440
<v Speaker 1>like Chase Harlan is a guy that could play his

0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>way in the top one under consideration. He's got an

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 1>ops over one thousand. I've already seen him put up

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>EV's of one sixteen. And you bring up the outfield

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 1>like logjam. It really kind of is. If Kenell George

0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't get hurt, I don't even know how they'd be

0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>getting everybody reps consistently in double A right now in

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:45.559
<v Speaker 1>the outfield. I do think there's a world where, like die,

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 1>your hope could be dangled. You know, Cantaro could be dangled.

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I think you gotta hold on to Sarota, but Charles

0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Davilon could be dangled. They've got a lot of trade

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>capital here for sure, And what the Dodgers always seem

0:13:59.040 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>to have.

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:00.800
<v Speaker 3>It's amazing.

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 2>All right, Let's push the teams with five top one

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred prospects right now, and the first one that we

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 2>are going to talk about is the Cleveland Guardians. Guardians

0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 2>check in with five top one hundred prospects. Their top guy,

0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:15.600
<v Speaker 2>ralphie Velasquez, number seventeen, TRIPAA first baseman Travis Bizana really

0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.199
<v Speaker 2>settling into the big leagues, close to graduating, obviously, he's

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>at number twenty two. On hell Hanau is number forty three.

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Jenaker Casras, the teenage outfielder in Low A, is number

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>forty four, and then Braylan Doti snuck in at ninety six,

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 2>the twenty year old right hander in Hia. This Guardian

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:33.800
<v Speaker 2>system looks a little bit different than it did four

0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 2>years ago. When you first started discussing the Guardian system,

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 2>it was all like kind of Spider Man memes, switchitting

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>shortstop or center fielder. Now not so much like there's

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.960
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more diversity in terms of on field

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:47.520
<v Speaker 2>performance of the Guardian system.

0:14:47.840 --> 0:14:49.680
<v Speaker 1>It's funny, man, I don't know if I can remember

0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a more tangible shift in organizational approach than what we've

0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>seen from the Guardians. In the last couple of years

0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>where it has they went so so deep into the

0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>switch hitting back to ball guys and then now I've

0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 1>almost gone too far the other way where it that's

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>huge whiff and power guys like jas Laviolette. I mean,

0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of draft classes, it feels like they've

0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.960
<v Speaker 1>just been pursuing that extra extra hard outside of you know,

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.600
<v Speaker 1>of course what you had with Bizana, but especially this

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.080
<v Speaker 1>past draft, it felt like they were pursuing it quite aggressively.

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Walton kind of the same thing, and then even

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>some of the trades that they make like it was

0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>a total shift. But I think it's fun now because

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it's balanced them out here to where you have a

0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit of everything and you know, you know they're

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>going to do a great job with arms and Braylen

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Doty just continues to come along and looks like a

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>fun project. By the way, sixty seven strikeouts to eleven

0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 1>walks this year, and I still think there's more in there.

0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Stuff wise, cal Steven is continuing to just be a

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.760
<v Speaker 1>solid get outs armed that I think projects is it

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>back into the rotation guy. And what's funny is like

0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Engle was previously on our top one hundred, didn't

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.200
<v Speaker 1>make it this time. Around three homer day the other day.

0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.600
<v Speaker 1>He's a guy that could easily be back on the

0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>list one thousand oh ps and triple A. He should

0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.560
<v Speaker 1>be in the big league sooner rather than later as well.

0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 1>This is still a really really good system and Junik

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Er Cassras, I think is kind of that rising star potentially.

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.720
<v Speaker 1>We know ralphie Velaskaz I've talked about a ton is

0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.000
<v Speaker 1>one of the best power bats, and I think the

0:16:17.040 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>tandem of now in Velasquez is one of the more

0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:23.720
<v Speaker 1>solid duos in minor league baseball in terms of some

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>of the position player prospect duos that we can go

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 1>through here, assuming Bizon has graduated right, but Casarras has

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 1>a chance to join that and make it one of

0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the more exciting trios. And what he's already done at

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the lower levels at eighteen years old, the upside that

0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 1>he has is really exciting. And then Elijah and I

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>just talked about Jason Chorio, who's not on the list,

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 1>but he has had a fantastic season. It looks like

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 1>he's really putting things together. So this is still a

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 1>really good farm system with another you know, if you graduate,

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>a few guys easily could sneak in a sixth or seventh. Yes,

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>they would lose Bizana, But this is one of one

0:16:55.640 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>of the better farm systems in baseball, I think.

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, another one with five right now, I mean Marlins

0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 2>and a couple of guys are on the shelf. Another

0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>guy's close to graduating. Thomas White, who's on the shelf

0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.399
<v Speaker 2>right now dealing with a shoulder thing. He is your

0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 2>number twelve prospect in baseball. Robbie Snelling, who's out and

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.359
<v Speaker 2>he underwent the internal braze. He's at number twenty five.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.239
<v Speaker 2>Joe Mack the catcher you had at thirty one at

0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 2>time of update, Iva Arquette, who's raking in Double A

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.879
<v Speaker 2>right now, he's at number thirty three. And then Carson

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 2>Milbrand recently got the bump to Triple A Jacksonville.

0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 3>He's at forty eight. So not only do the.

0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Marlins have five top one hundred prospects, but they have

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:32.040
<v Speaker 2>five top fifty prospects in your eyes.

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and the injuries. That's sometimes the tough part when

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 1>your top pitching prospects or your top prospects are pitchers,

0:17:39.000 --> 0:17:42.840
<v Speaker 1>is there's some liability there and unfortunately, you know, the

0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>moments are gonna have to It looks like for both

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.160
<v Speaker 1>White and Snelling it's gonna come next year to really

0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:49.160
<v Speaker 1>see that opportunity from them at the big league level,

0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>and we might see White a little bit at the

0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.399
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, but I think overall, when you'll

0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 1>get the arms, the emergence and the breakout of mill Brand,

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>who recently was on the show and check out that

0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.920
<v Speaker 1>episode that was a lot of fun talking to him,

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 1>has been huge for the organization. You look at like

0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:06.399
<v Speaker 1>they really needed a righty in the upper miners that

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of projects to help them sooner rather than later.

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>And that helps too. Kevin to Frank's injury, that's a

0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.440
<v Speaker 1>guy that you know easily could have been in the

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.480
<v Speaker 1>top one hundred consideration before going down with a byseet issue.

0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 1>So that was tough. But I think when you look

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>at what they were able to do with with our

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:22.720
<v Speaker 1>cat landing to them and then I think help him

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.159
<v Speaker 1>kind of tap into even more power and you're seeing

0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that this year is super exciting. And then Joe Mack, Yeah,

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 1>he's going to graduate, but this is a key piece

0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of their future. We talked about it all the time

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.880
<v Speaker 1>why he was should have been ranked higher, I felt

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:38.240
<v Speaker 1>like by the contensus and just buy the industry because

0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of how good he is with the glove and because

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of the ability to run into balls with the bat.

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.479
<v Speaker 1>And then you also have cam Canerella, who's playing at

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>a really high level, could be in the top one

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred consideration with the glove. The value he gives you there. Really,

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.800
<v Speaker 1>if he projects as a league average hitter with the bat,

0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you could you could justify getting him into the top

0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 1>one hundred. And then Dylan Lewis Man, like, this is

0:18:56.480 --> 0:18:58.119
<v Speaker 1>a guy that you know is always kind of going

0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.199
<v Speaker 1>to be anticipated to make his debut a little bit

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.159
<v Speaker 1>later as a late bloomer in college and as a

0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 1>guy with some swinging misconcerns. But he has held his

0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 1>own in double A and I think that's underselling it.

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.680
<v Speaker 1>And in terms of the swing and miss, has kept

0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.600
<v Speaker 1>it in checked decently well. He's seventy percent contact rate.

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.840
<v Speaker 1>He's demolishing the baseball the way that you want him

0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>to from an egg of velosities perspective, and like, that's

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.199
<v Speaker 1>a guy that if the strikeout rates within check and

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 1>he's slug in and looks like he can continue to

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.480
<v Speaker 1>develop and you know in the outfield, I think that's

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a point that you could expect on top one

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:29.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred list as well.

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he totally seems like it. I think he leads

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.840
<v Speaker 2>the organization home runs still at this point. So really

0:19:35.840 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 2>fun to look at the organizational health of the Miami

0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Marlins just in terms of like bolstering the offensive pieces.

0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:44.400
<v Speaker 2>They have a ton of offensive prospects. Yeah, right now,

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.479
<v Speaker 2>next team that we want to talk about here is

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the Minnesota Twins, and the Twins are boasting quite a

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 2>few top one hundred prospects. They've got five of them.

0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 2>Walker Jenkins is back in the top ten at number eight.

0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Emanuel Rodriguez heard again, but he's at number thirty nine.

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Lynn Culpepper is at sixty one. Ed or to Tye

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Eduardo tayit pardon the young catcher in Hya he's a

0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:08.440
<v Speaker 2>number eighty six, and then Charlie Soto on the shelf

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>with the twenty year old right hander got up to

0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.879
<v Speaker 2>high a seater rapids he is at number eighty seven.

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 2>For you, Twin system has some depth as well, which

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:18.480
<v Speaker 2>is fun to look at. But I mean these top.

0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Five are obviously carrying a lot of weight for him.

0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's a good balance though, as you

0:20:23.119 --> 0:20:25.760
<v Speaker 1>allude to of like that top top guys and then

0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 1>and then the depth as well. Charlie Soto is a

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.920
<v Speaker 1>guy that could slip off. He we finally saw him,

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>you know it, start to work his way back and

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.959
<v Speaker 1>made a couple of you know, short appearances. So hopefully

0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 1>he can get back on the mound and like sustainably

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:39.639
<v Speaker 1>and build back up, because he looked like he was

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.880
<v Speaker 1>on the cusp of really breaking out. But Walker Jenkins

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.520
<v Speaker 1>really adding that power before the injury. But he's back

0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 1>and he's already homeward. A couple of times in his

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.359
<v Speaker 1>rehab games has really solidified him back, you know, up

0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:54.040
<v Speaker 1>towards being you know, a blue chip prospect. Colepepper's performance

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:56.680
<v Speaker 1>this year has been fantastic and and just seeing him

0:20:56.720 --> 0:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>continue to blossom has been fun. Tyt started a little

0:20:59.200 --> 0:21:00.959
<v Speaker 1>bit slow, He's got three homers in his last hand

0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.199
<v Speaker 1>full of games. He's been I still think is one

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:07.160
<v Speaker 1>of the more exciting power hitting catching prospects that we've

0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:09.480
<v Speaker 1>seen in the Emmanuel Rodriguez is just about the health.

0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 1>What's fun about the twins. As you mentioned, the depth

0:21:11.960 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>like Design Hill is a guy that easily could be

0:21:15.760 --> 0:21:18.200
<v Speaker 1>a top one hundred prospect if he could just cut

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.520
<v Speaker 1>down on the free passes. And that's the biggest issue

0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:23.760
<v Speaker 1>right now. But the stuff is outrageous. Marrik Houston is

0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 1>such a high floor piece with the glove that he

0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:27.960
<v Speaker 1>brings to the table, but he's actually putting up an

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:30.040
<v Speaker 1>eight sixty four oh ps and high A if he's

0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:31.520
<v Speaker 1>sitting in double A. I think that's the guy you

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 1>start to see climb into the top one hundred list

0:21:33.800 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 1>as well. This is a solid, solid system, but they're

0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.760
<v Speaker 1>guys at the top are as talented as just about any.

0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and Emmanuel Rodriguez, I guess you're just waiting for

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 2>him to graduate at this point, Jenkions, I'm kind of

0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:48.240
<v Speaker 2>just waiting for him to graduate at this point. Jenkins

0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.560
<v Speaker 2>should get up at least post deadline, right.

0:21:51.880 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, once he's back, like he's already working back from

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 1>that ac issue from colliding in the wall. I don't

0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>see why you waste any much more time in triple A.

0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Just have him up in the show and if he's

0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:04.399
<v Speaker 1>feeling any little ailments and things like that with this history,

0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I'd rather have a big league staff working with him anyways.

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:08.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one hundred percent. All right.

0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:09.800
<v Speaker 2>Next team that we're going to talk about here, the

0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.920
<v Speaker 2>San Francisco Giants bets hitter in baseball over the last

0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:15.360
<v Speaker 2>thirty days, has been Bryce Eldridge, the twenty one year

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 2>old first baseman. He is the number twenty four. He

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:20.600
<v Speaker 2>has graduated at this point or close to graduating. Joss

0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:24.000
<v Speaker 2>war Gonzalez, the eighteen year old shortstop, is number forty five.

0:22:24.440 --> 0:22:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Got a seventeen year old here, Luis Hernandez, He's sixty two.

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Level, another nineteen year old, another shortstop, he's at

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.080
<v Speaker 2>sixty four. And then Bo Davidson continues to sneak onto

0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 2>the top one hundred and twenty three year old outfielder

0:22:36.080 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 2>in DOUBLEA sits at number ninety nine. Got a whole

0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 2>bunch of young shortstops here. If you want to wax

0:22:42.040 --> 0:22:44.120
<v Speaker 2>about Bryce Eldridge, go ahead, But I feel like that's

0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 2>a just baseball conversation at this point right now.

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I'm excited to talk about him a little

0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:50.840
<v Speaker 1>bit more on the JB Show and hopefully actually talk

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:52.800
<v Speaker 1>to him a little bit while they come down here

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>to Miami for a series, because I was looking at

0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the video trying to figure out what the difference was.

0:22:57.359 --> 0:22:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Where how do you go from s treking out in

0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:01.600
<v Speaker 1>hear with thirty percent of the time Ina to over

0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:04.640
<v Speaker 1>the last month, Eldridge is walking as much as he's

0:23:04.640 --> 0:23:07.480
<v Speaker 1>striking out in the show, And there's some subtle adjustments.

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 1>He was very upright, and with such a tall, long

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.639
<v Speaker 1>leg guy, he would crouch down in his move and

0:23:13.680 --> 0:23:15.960
<v Speaker 1>his head would just move so much. And I think

0:23:16.000 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>now he's kind of found a middle ground. He starts

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more crouch and then just gets a

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:22.720
<v Speaker 1>little bit more into his legs without moving his head

0:23:22.760 --> 0:23:24.840
<v Speaker 1>as much. It might be something as subtle as that.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I can't wait to ask him what the difference is.

0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:29.520
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, this guy, oh my gosh, as he

0:23:29.600 --> 0:23:32.320
<v Speaker 1>just put it all together over the last month. And

0:23:32.760 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Eldridge is one example, but I also think the farm

0:23:35.640 --> 0:23:37.960
<v Speaker 1>system as a whole, this has been one of the

0:23:37.960 --> 0:23:40.680
<v Speaker 1>more improved farm systems over the last couple of years

0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:44.760
<v Speaker 1>in Major League Baseball, and mostly through the international side

0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:46.640
<v Speaker 1>of things, which I think is really cool, and then

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 1>also just through the incredible scouting side of things, which

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:53.119
<v Speaker 1>is ironic given you know the way that the league

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:54.880
<v Speaker 1>proposal has come along, and we're going to talk about

0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:56.639
<v Speaker 1>that other just Baseball show, Like a lot of scouts

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.080
<v Speaker 1>are going to lose jobs and Bo Davidson's probably not

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:01.320
<v Speaker 1>going to be found in the Coastal Plains League. Who

0:24:01.359 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>knows though, because again I know they're trying to ramp

0:24:04.000 --> 0:24:06.639
<v Speaker 1>up the amateur side of things. With that point being,

0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Bo Davidson has developed and he has become a huge

0:24:10.080 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 1>asset for them, especially with the way he's played of late,

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:13.359
<v Speaker 1>in the way that he could stick in centerfield. We

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:14.960
<v Speaker 1>just talked about him on the last episode in the

0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.680
<v Speaker 1>heat Sheet, the ability to go get a Johnny level

0:24:18.760 --> 0:24:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and immediately develop him into a guy that looks like

0:24:20.760 --> 0:24:23.200
<v Speaker 1>he can stick it short and being above average regular

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.399
<v Speaker 1>there they go get their blue chip guy and Louis

0:24:25.400 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Hernandez and he's been as advertised in the early going,

0:24:28.119 --> 0:24:29.560
<v Speaker 1>but you know, I think they were just thrilled to

0:24:29.640 --> 0:24:32.920
<v Speaker 1>land him, and then Josh war Gonzalez is still also

0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of a blue chip guy as well. But those

0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:37.679
<v Speaker 1>guys don't always We can list out a million names

0:24:38.160 --> 0:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>of guys that the blue chips don't always immediately look

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 1>like blue chips, and they have so far for the Giants. Now,

0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>these guys have to clear some other hurdles, but Gonzales

0:24:46.240 --> 0:24:48.840
<v Speaker 1>looks the part, Hernandez looks the part level, looks the

0:24:48.880 --> 0:24:52.760
<v Speaker 1>part at higher levels. And Bo Davidson to me, looks

0:24:52.760 --> 0:24:55.680
<v Speaker 1>like somebody that could debut this year. So I also

0:24:55.720 --> 0:24:58.639
<v Speaker 1>love the Gavin Kylin pick as a guy that is

0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 1>playing well, not out of this world well, but well.

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.119
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I think the depth Bevan is a

0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:06.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit better than it was in years prior.

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Got you all right.

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Next team that we want to talk about here the

0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Tampa Bay Rays. The Rays have a very good system

0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:18.600
<v Speaker 2>as it pertains to their sixth through twenty fifth ranked prospects,

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.480
<v Speaker 2>but they've got some guys in the top one hundred

0:25:20.640 --> 0:25:23.240
<v Speaker 2>as well. So the Rays that sit on just Baseball's

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:25.200
<v Speaker 2>top one hundred update, there are five of them.

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:26.840
<v Speaker 3>THEO Gillen is at number nineteen.

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 2>Brody Hopkins, the triple A right hand or, is at

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:32.639
<v Speaker 2>number forty nine, Nathan Fluelling, nineteen year old catcher in

0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:35.760
<v Speaker 2>high A, is number fifty four. Cooper Fleming, low a

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:38.439
<v Speaker 2>shortstop and a teenager, is number sixty eight, and then

0:25:38.440 --> 0:25:41.399
<v Speaker 2>you've got tayt and Gray at seventy five. They have

0:25:41.680 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 2>so many pieces in the system, but you've got five

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.960
<v Speaker 2>favorites here that are inside the top one hundred five favorites.

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>This is as deep of a system as he got

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.280
<v Speaker 1>in Major League Baseball too, the outside of the maybe

0:25:53.280 --> 0:25:56.359
<v Speaker 1>the Brewers, but I mean, this is just crazy, crazy talent.

0:25:57.200 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Tat and Gray is the one that just I think

0:25:59.840 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 1>is exciting because barely on I wouldn't say barely in

0:26:02.880 --> 0:26:04.520
<v Speaker 1>the radars a third round pick, but definitely not a

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>guy that we were considering in the preseason to if

0:26:07.320 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 1>you ask me like who in the race system could

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>could burst onto the scene and be a top one

0:26:10.640 --> 0:26:13.600
<v Speaker 1>hundred guy. I don't know how many names I would

0:26:13.600 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 1>have given you before Tat and Gray, but there would

0:26:15.560 --> 0:26:18.840
<v Speaker 1>have been a few that the Shane Boz deal, the

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.439
<v Speaker 1>amount of depth that they added there too, to go

0:26:21.480 --> 0:26:24.520
<v Speaker 1>get bow Dye and who's been great so far, and

0:26:24.720 --> 0:26:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Furrett who's starting to settle in and Triple A has

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>been has been impressive. But the guys at the top,

0:26:30.040 --> 0:26:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Brody Hopkins has been the frustrating one because it's the

0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 1>ceiling is so so high. He could be so special,

0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:39.320
<v Speaker 1>and he has a couple of great starts and then

0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:41.879
<v Speaker 1>just a clunker, and then a couple great starts and

0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.399
<v Speaker 1>then two clunkers, and it's been tough to see. Ye

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.920
<v Speaker 1>theil Gillen as just the headliner of this system now,

0:26:47.920 --> 0:26:49.959
<v Speaker 1>which looks like this is a guy that in our

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:52.200
<v Speaker 1>next updates probably going to be in the top ten

0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:57.520
<v Speaker 1>and legitimately, depending on timing, has number one prospect in baseball.

0:26:57.600 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Upside like that's the headline of this system here. Then

0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:04.919
<v Speaker 1>you have Nathan Fluelling, who I know we're higher on,

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 1>but it's kind of the Joe Mack conversation where I

0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:13.199
<v Speaker 1>see the same ingredients power, patience, which I think he

0:27:13.240 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 1>has even more of that, a plus arm, and all

0:27:15.760 --> 0:27:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the ingredients to be a really good defensive catcher. Does

0:27:17.840 --> 0:27:19.400
<v Speaker 1>that mean he's going to be the thrower that Joe

0:27:19.520 --> 0:27:22.399
<v Speaker 1>Mack is? Maybe not. That's a really high bar. But

0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>when you have a prep kid in an archetype that

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:27.879
<v Speaker 1>generally people hate, which is because of the history is

0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:31.040
<v Speaker 1>these prep catchers, he's younger than most of it in

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:33.440
<v Speaker 1>his class. He's still nineteen years old and he's performing

0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.040
<v Speaker 1>now at Hi A. I love the upside of Fluelling

0:27:36.359 --> 0:27:38.720
<v Speaker 1>as well. So there's just so much to like here,

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>but I think Tat and Gray is the other piece

0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:42.359
<v Speaker 1>that just really makes me excited because you have a

0:27:42.400 --> 0:27:46.199
<v Speaker 1>switch hitter with plus or better power that looks like

0:27:46.240 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>he's just continuing to settle in with a great approach

0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>as well, also young for the class at eighteen years old.

0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:53.239
<v Speaker 1>Their key guys I think, are going to keep being

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:55.399
<v Speaker 1>an arrow pointed upwards. And then they've got all this

0:27:55.480 --> 0:27:56.600
<v Speaker 1>depth as well. To compliment.

0:27:57.359 --> 0:27:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Last team with five that we want to talk about

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.440
<v Speaker 2>here is the Washington Nationals again to bony Ball. They

0:28:02.440 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 2>are making their presence felt right now, not only the

0:28:05.200 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 2>big leagues but in the minor leagues. Their top prospect,

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Eli Willitts is number twenty three on Just Baseball's Top

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 2>one hundred. Travis Sikora is injured, but he's at number

0:28:13.960 --> 0:28:16.520
<v Speaker 2>fifty two. Harlen and Susana is injured. He's at number

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 2>fifty six or fifty eight. Pardon Devin Fitzgerald, the son

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:23.920
<v Speaker 2>of the head coach Todd Fitzgerald. Is it top at

0:28:24.040 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Stoneman Douglas, Yeah, Todd Fitzgerald. Devon is at number sixty six,

0:28:27.800 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 2>and then sever King snuck On who's in TRIPLEA. He

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 2>is at number ninety seven on Just Baseball's Top one hundred.

0:28:34.119 --> 0:28:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, and talk about another guy that has maybe number

0:28:36.200 --> 0:28:40.720
<v Speaker 1>one overall prospect upside, it's Eli Willitts too, so to

0:28:40.760 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 1>have him headlining your system, and it just looks like

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:47.480
<v Speaker 1>such a fantastic pick by them. Already four homers in

0:28:47.560 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>eight games at high A since going there. For this kid,

0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 1>that's a contact, speed and defense archetype. To have, you know,

0:28:56.160 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a five thirty two slug this year. He's still eighteen

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 1>years old, by the way, for the entirety of this

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 1>freaking season, it is just crazy. So him as your headliner.

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Sikora and Susana you're waiting on health here, but I

0:29:09.560 --> 0:29:11.040
<v Speaker 1>don't need to sell you on the upside of both

0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 1>of those twenty two year olds. And then what Fitzgerald

0:29:14.560 --> 0:29:16.080
<v Speaker 1>has been able to do. I know he's like five

0:29:16.120 --> 0:29:18.280
<v Speaker 1>for his last fifty five. I'm not worried about it.

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be quite fine. And even with this stretch,

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:23.479
<v Speaker 1>he still has an eight nineteen ops on the season.

0:29:23.680 --> 0:29:26.680
<v Speaker 1>The development of sever King is just so huge, and

0:29:26.720 --> 0:29:28.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a testament two new times in the system.

0:29:28.960 --> 0:29:30.840
<v Speaker 1>And then how about some other guys that have the

0:29:30.880 --> 0:29:33.080
<v Speaker 1>talent to be top one hundred prospects very very soon.

0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I know people love Ronnie Cruz. I'm concerned about some

0:29:35.360 --> 0:29:37.000
<v Speaker 1>of the peripherals and we brought that up and he

0:29:37.040 --> 0:29:39.840
<v Speaker 1>has struggled at Hi A, but he's still ridiculous batspeed.

0:29:40.240 --> 0:29:43.000
<v Speaker 1>Gavin Fien was hurt to start the year, but he's

0:29:43.000 --> 0:29:45.760
<v Speaker 1>starting to pick up now that he's healthy and absolutely

0:29:45.800 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 1>has the potentially be a top one hundred guy. I

0:29:48.000 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 1>still think he's Perraus. The further he's removed him from

0:29:50.800 --> 0:29:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Tommy John surgery can be an electrifying arm for them

0:29:53.520 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>as well. Ethan Petrie has a nine hundred ops this year.

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Alejandro Rosario finally got the TJ. He's going to come

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:01.080
<v Speaker 1>back and I think he's going to remind a lot

0:30:01.120 --> 0:30:03.880
<v Speaker 1>of people just how damn good he is. Miguel Sime

0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Junior is so talented, Like this is a very fun system,

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 1>and I just it's one of another one where you

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:13.200
<v Speaker 1>can talk about, like compared to the Giants, this might

0:30:13.240 --> 0:30:15.760
<v Speaker 1>be the number one shift in Major League Baseball in

0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:18.000
<v Speaker 1>terms of which farm systems haven't proved. I didn't even

0:30:18.000 --> 0:30:20.120
<v Speaker 1>mention Harry Ford, who's had a horrible year, but He's

0:30:20.160 --> 0:30:22.400
<v Speaker 1>still Harry Ford, and I still think has you know,

0:30:22.520 --> 0:30:24.160
<v Speaker 1>potential to give you plenty of value.

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:27.080
<v Speaker 3>System that got really good really quick.

0:30:27.320 --> 0:30:29.080
<v Speaker 2>That's kind of the name of the game with Washington

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:31.000
<v Speaker 2>right now is a big league team that got really good,

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:33.280
<v Speaker 2>really quick, and a farm system that got really good

0:30:33.320 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 2>really quick. We will wrap with the five teams that

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:39.760
<v Speaker 2>have four top one hundred prospects here and we go

0:30:39.800 --> 0:30:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to the Athletics. The Athletics right now are sitting at

0:30:43.280 --> 0:30:46.400
<v Speaker 2>four top one hundred prospects. Leo DeVries is your number

0:30:46.440 --> 0:30:50.040
<v Speaker 2>four prospect in baseball. Gage Jump just turned in what

0:30:50.240 --> 0:30:53.640
<v Speaker 2>seven scoreless last night for the Athletics. He's at number thirty.

0:30:54.000 --> 0:30:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Henry Bolty is at number fifty or Boltay sorry, and

0:30:57.280 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 2>then way In Lynn, the twenty year old leftander in

0:30:59.640 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 2>double currently sits number seventy eight for you, Boltay. The

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 2>more I watch at the major league level, the more I'm.

0:31:06.200 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 3>Like enticed by him.

0:31:08.480 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 2>He's a big man dude, and he's like he's letting

0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:14.880
<v Speaker 2>that athleticism eat really at every single turn, whether it's

0:31:14.920 --> 0:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>defensively on the base paths in the box. I've been

0:31:17.280 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 2>super impressed with Boltay and Jump at the major league level,

0:31:20.080 --> 0:31:21.080
<v Speaker 2>and then in the minor league level.

0:31:21.120 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 3>Obviously the Headliners Defreese.

0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:25.120
<v Speaker 1>And you know, to a lot of people, and I

0:31:25.160 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 1>understand why they felt like Jamie Arnold was a top

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:31.080
<v Speaker 1>one hundred snub, and I can understand that. So if

0:31:31.080 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you think Jamie Arnold's the top one hundred, gud, he

0:31:32.840 --> 0:31:35.160
<v Speaker 1>was also a just miss guy for us. Anyways, that's

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.680
<v Speaker 1>another very valuable piece to add to the fold year

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:40.320
<v Speaker 1>who probably will put pitch his way, you hope, into

0:31:40.400 --> 0:31:43.280
<v Speaker 1>the top one hundred as well. Opponents are unfortunate hitting

0:31:43.280 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 1>three hundred agains him, but I still think he's gonna

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:47.240
<v Speaker 1>put things together there to make it happen. Bolt A

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 1>we just talked about in the last episode. It's eighty

0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:55.720
<v Speaker 1>eighty great speed and seventy raw power. That's stupid stuff.

0:31:55.720 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>And he's developed into a great defender in centerfield. It's

0:31:57.840 --> 0:32:00.400
<v Speaker 1>just he's a mechanical adjustment away from being able to

0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:03.160
<v Speaker 1>elevate the ball more consistently. And oh my gosh, who

0:32:03.200 --> 0:32:06.120
<v Speaker 1>knows what the ceiling could be there. Brandon Net's been

0:32:06.160 --> 0:32:08.200
<v Speaker 1>hurt this year. I still really like him as an

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.200
<v Speaker 1>arm outside of the top one hundred as well. And

0:32:10.240 --> 0:32:12.239
<v Speaker 1>then they got one of the highest profile you know,

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>top or IFA guys and jo hen C Colummey, who

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of people are excited about, eager

0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:19.880
<v Speaker 1>to see his pro debut, but Way and When looks

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:21.720
<v Speaker 1>like a guarantee to be a back end of the

0:32:21.800 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 1>rotation starter and of course a't twenty years old. With

0:32:24.240 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 1>his frame, there's still so much room for more to

0:32:26.840 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe reach towards middle rotation. Upside, you mentioned Gage Jump,

0:32:29.520 --> 0:32:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's a middle rotation piece for you now,

0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and that's what's so exciting about Himlea Dvrees is one

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.560
<v Speaker 1>of the best prospects in baseball period and starting to

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:40.920
<v Speaker 1>really pick it up. Just got that ops over eight hundred,

0:32:41.640 --> 0:32:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and I just I think from this system it's always solid,

0:32:44.480 --> 0:32:46.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's in a really strong place right now because

0:32:46.680 --> 0:32:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you also have some depth to Josh Carota Grower all

0:32:49.360 --> 0:32:51.120
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden add some power and he looks like

0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:54.000
<v Speaker 1>a nice piece for them. Devin Taylor is having a

0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:56.800
<v Speaker 1>nice year like they're rounding out the system as well,

0:32:56.840 --> 0:32:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's it's in a really good spot overall.

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 2>There is a system with four guys that seems to

0:33:03.160 --> 0:33:06.080
<v Speaker 2>be on the downswing right now. And yes, some graduations

0:33:06.120 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 2>certainly have to play with that. It's the New York Mets, like, Okay,

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Carson Bench is graduated at this point, aj Ewing is

0:33:12.880 --> 0:33:15.520
<v Speaker 2>graduated at this point. But they have four top one

0:33:15.600 --> 0:33:18.360
<v Speaker 2>hundred prospects right now. Ewing is at number twenty six,

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.560
<v Speaker 2>but then you got Jack Wenninger Weninger at fifty six,

0:33:21.720 --> 0:33:24.719
<v Speaker 2>You've got Jonah Tong at seventy seven, and then Jacob

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Rimer at ninety eight. I'm not souring on Tong, but

0:33:28.840 --> 0:33:30.959
<v Speaker 2>watching that guy throw in the big leagues, I was like,

0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>there's serious stuff that he needs to work out. The

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 2>walk number was astronomically high with Triple A Syracuse. He's

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:40.480
<v Speaker 2>back in Triple A trying to figure stuff out. They've

0:33:40.520 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 2>got other interesting pieces. But is it fair to say

0:33:43.680 --> 0:33:46.040
<v Speaker 2>this system is sliding just a little bit right now?

0:33:46.520 --> 0:33:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes it is, and yes part of it is you

0:33:49.360 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 1>graduate a guy in aj Ewing who you know, we've

0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:55.360
<v Speaker 1>been as high as anybody on and he's in same

0:33:55.400 --> 0:33:57.840
<v Speaker 1>with Ben. So those have been two of my favorite prospects.

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like in a while, especially in the outfield,

0:34:00.080 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 1>those guys are are really really good players for a

0:34:03.400 --> 0:34:05.040
<v Speaker 1>really long time we're already seeing that impact at the

0:34:05.040 --> 0:34:07.480
<v Speaker 1>big league level. But if you just ignored that part

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and and just focus on the players that are still prospects,

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:13.319
<v Speaker 1>almost all of them have had a down year. Like

0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:17.839
<v Speaker 1>Tong It's it's been a down year ultimately two. I mean,

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:20.840
<v Speaker 1>he's been brutal at Triple A and he's clearly working

0:34:20.840 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>through some things. Ryan Clifford has has a seven to

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty ops in Triple A Syracuse. I know he's picking

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>it up a little bit, but that's kind of disappointing

0:34:29.320 --> 0:34:34.919
<v Speaker 1>after just destroying, destroying Double A after the promotion last year.

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Riimer has a seven to twenty three ops in

0:34:38.040 --> 0:34:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Double A. Jack Weninger's walk rate has completely balloomed this

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:43.560
<v Speaker 1>year in Triple A and that was one of my

0:34:43.600 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 1>favorite arms. Yeah, it's even Jonathan Santucci, he's been he's

0:34:48.480 --> 0:34:50.799
<v Speaker 1>been good. His command is backed up a little bit.

0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:54.239
<v Speaker 1>In Double A. It's been weird. Like the team at

0:34:54.280 --> 0:34:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the big league level has really struggled, and it feels

0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:59.919
<v Speaker 1>like it's just seeped down into the minor leagues as well,

0:35:00.040 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 1>where it's hard to find a guy that is really

0:35:03.080 --> 0:35:05.719
<v Speaker 1>taking a step forward from where they were last year.

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 1>It feels like, at best it's it's maintaining. And I

0:35:10.040 --> 0:35:11.839
<v Speaker 1>even think that's generous with some of these guys. I'd

0:35:11.840 --> 0:35:13.640
<v Speaker 1>say most of them, it's a half step or full

0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>step backwards.

0:35:15.120 --> 0:35:18.360
<v Speaker 2>And you hope this is just a full twenty twenty

0:35:18.400 --> 0:35:20.719
<v Speaker 2>six calendar year thing for the Mets, Like, oh, this

0:35:20.880 --> 0:35:22.879
<v Speaker 2>is just the year from hell. You know, you can

0:35:22.960 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 2>chalk this up to being a bad year at the

0:35:24.640 --> 0:35:26.440
<v Speaker 2>big league level and a bad year in the minor leagues.

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:28.320
<v Speaker 2>But at the end of the day, like, you can't

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 2>really survive like that when you are a major, major

0:35:30.960 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 2>market with the highest payroll in Major League Baseball. You

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:36.160
<v Speaker 2>can't take the lump of a bad twenty twenty six.

0:35:36.239 --> 0:35:38.960
<v Speaker 2>Something needs to be going right. And nothing is going

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:41.240
<v Speaker 2>right for the New York Mets right now outside of Soto,

0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:42.960
<v Speaker 2>and that kind of stinks for them.

0:35:43.040 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, and I guess like the I was talking

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:46.880
<v Speaker 1>to Ryan Finkle sign about it. He's like, by the

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:49.360
<v Speaker 1>saving grace, I get to watch aj Ewing and Carson

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.359
<v Speaker 1>bench play every day. Yeah, give you that. I'll give you.

0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:54.120
<v Speaker 2>You know what, that's a good positive spin on this.

0:35:54.239 --> 0:35:57.040
<v Speaker 2>So you got the outfield of the president future in Soto, Ewing,

0:35:57.040 --> 0:36:00.840
<v Speaker 2>and Bene And it's fun to watch other teams in

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:04.280
<v Speaker 2>New York that has four top one hundred prospects the Yankees.

0:36:04.360 --> 0:36:07.960
<v Speaker 2>George Lombard Junior checks in at twenty, Carlos lagronhe at

0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:11.400
<v Speaker 2>number fifty three, Dax Kilby, the nineteen year old shortstop,

0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 2>is at seventy two, and then Elmer Rodriguez, who got

0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:16.799
<v Speaker 2>his first taste of big league ball, checks in at

0:36:16.920 --> 0:36:17.680
<v Speaker 2>ninety three.

0:36:18.440 --> 0:36:19.239
<v Speaker 3>They always have.

0:36:19.320 --> 0:36:24.239
<v Speaker 2>Pitching, it seems, and the Yankees just continue to churn

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:26.400
<v Speaker 2>out some guys. It is fun to check in on

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:31.080
<v Speaker 2>Lombard and Kilby constantly, especially with the rhetoric around of

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 2>the shortstop position at the big league level.

0:36:33.719 --> 0:36:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, Kilby is the one too where it's

0:36:35.719 --> 0:36:39.080
<v Speaker 1>just I would love to see that hamstring get better

0:36:39.080 --> 0:36:40.920
<v Speaker 1>because when he's on the field, man, it's so much

0:36:40.960 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 1>fun to watch him play, but it's just seems to

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:47.239
<v Speaker 1>be nagging him all year long. Lombard, I mean, at

0:36:47.239 --> 0:36:49.720
<v Speaker 1>this point, I feel like he's getting closer and closer

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to a big league debut. He's already doing that thing

0:36:51.480 --> 0:36:54.319
<v Speaker 1>where he gets the taste, struggles and then settles in

0:36:54.360 --> 0:36:56.200
<v Speaker 1>at the level and he's doing it at trip away now,

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:58.439
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, I think there's a there's a world where

0:36:58.560 --> 0:37:01.840
<v Speaker 1>he could help them in third base, even potentially sooner

0:37:02.120 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 1>rather than later, and just just such a high probability

0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:08.720
<v Speaker 1>big league piece. I love that they're gonna give Legron

0:37:08.760 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Hay some looks out of the bullpen to potentially help

0:37:11.200 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the team this year, because that's how he gets to

0:37:13.000 --> 0:37:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the big leagues, and I think he could be fantastic

0:37:14.600 --> 0:37:16.200
<v Speaker 1>there and then of course you try to work him

0:37:16.239 --> 0:37:19.759
<v Speaker 1>back into a starter's role as well. But this is

0:37:19.840 --> 0:37:22.040
<v Speaker 1>still a solid system, you know. I think it's better

0:37:22.080 --> 0:37:24.719
<v Speaker 1>than it's been in in years past. Like Elma Rodriguez too,

0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Like he's just continued to just be effective and maybe

0:37:28.520 --> 0:37:30.839
<v Speaker 1>outpitch the stuff a little bit more and that's what

0:37:30.880 --> 0:37:32.800
<v Speaker 1>pitched got him into you know, the top one hundred

0:37:32.840 --> 0:37:35.000
<v Speaker 1>for us. So, I mean, the Yankees are always going

0:37:35.080 --> 0:37:38.239
<v Speaker 1>to be buyers, right, and I think in seasons past

0:37:38.239 --> 0:37:40.160
<v Speaker 1>there's been some times where it's like, man, I don't

0:37:40.200 --> 0:37:42.200
<v Speaker 1>know what pieces they have. It's a little bit better

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:45.239
<v Speaker 1>this year, especially at the top. And you know, I know,

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:47.799
<v Speaker 1>a getting Kilby's injury this year kind of hurts some

0:37:47.960 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 1>of the momentum there with the system, because that's a

0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:52.920
<v Speaker 1>guy that I think had the helium to be, you know,

0:37:52.960 --> 0:37:55.880
<v Speaker 1>one of the better young shortstop prospects in baseball. But

0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:59.080
<v Speaker 1>still with the way Legron, Hay and Rodriguez are throwing

0:37:59.360 --> 0:38:03.799
<v Speaker 1>the consistent and you know, just development of Lombard and

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:06.880
<v Speaker 1>then even like Spencer Jones holding his own right now

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:09.840
<v Speaker 1>in the big leagues and it's been really encouraging overall.

0:38:10.719 --> 0:38:14.520
<v Speaker 2>So the comp is thrown around a lot for a

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:17.360
<v Speaker 2>starting pitcher in the minor leagues to debut as a

0:38:17.400 --> 0:38:19.880
<v Speaker 2>reliever and then work his way back into his starting

0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 2>pitching role. But like I think Legronhey and Crochet, there

0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of similarities there where you've got just

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 2>utterly electric stuff with some flaws as a starting pitcher,

0:38:31.040 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 2>like Crochet was never going to be good enough to

0:38:33.200 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 2>be a starting pitcher out of the gates for the

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:37.560
<v Speaker 2>White Sox, but when he got up, it was like,

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 2>you know what, just let one hundred and to eat

0:38:39.360 --> 0:38:42.000
<v Speaker 2>and see what happens. And then slowly but surely, and

0:38:42.040 --> 0:38:44.239
<v Speaker 2>it took three years for Crochet to get back into

0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:47.280
<v Speaker 2>the rotation, but slowly but surely he made his way back,

0:38:47.640 --> 0:38:51.360
<v Speaker 2>and that sheer ability and talent turned into a durable workhorse.

0:38:51.440 --> 0:38:54.839
<v Speaker 2>So I kind of love that parallel with Legron Hay

0:38:55.560 --> 0:38:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and it is funny that it's a Yankee Red Sox deal.

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:00.000
<v Speaker 2>A couple more teams that we got to talk about here.

0:39:00.000 --> 0:39:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Your second to last one is the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners,

0:39:03.920 --> 0:39:06.520
<v Speaker 2>of course have Colt Emerson on this list, and Colt

0:39:06.560 --> 0:39:09.279
<v Speaker 2>Emerson is one of the top prospects in all of

0:39:09.360 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Major League Baseball. The other guys that are Seattle Mariners

0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:14.839
<v Speaker 2>on the top one hundred update Cold Emberson at number two,

0:39:14.880 --> 0:39:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Sloan at number five, Kate Anderson at number ten,

0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:21.560
<v Speaker 2>and then lazarro mont Is at number eighty four, three

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:23.920
<v Speaker 2>top ten prospects in baseball.

0:39:24.320 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 3>Life is good in the Pacific Northwest.

0:39:27.000 --> 0:39:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's some rare stuff, right, I mean that's

0:39:29.280 --> 0:39:31.400
<v Speaker 1>where it's crazy. And then you got Las Mantes of

0:39:31.400 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 1>course still in the fold. They're hitting his homers, and

0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just he's another one where's just I just want

0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:37.360
<v Speaker 1>to see it at Big League LOB we'll se if

0:39:37.360 --> 0:39:39.560
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna hit enough. Like I'm tired of watching, and

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:41.200
<v Speaker 1>I know he's young. I'm not even saying he's been

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:43.640
<v Speaker 1>like held up or anything like that. It's just you

0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:45.480
<v Speaker 1>know he's gonna slog and double Let's just see what

0:39:45.480 --> 0:39:48.120
<v Speaker 1>he could do in the show. Johnny Farmelo has really

0:39:48.160 --> 0:39:50.239
<v Speaker 1>been heating up folding Sellison was a guy who just

0:39:50.239 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 1>missed our top one hundred. I'm more concerned about the

0:39:52.160 --> 0:39:54.799
<v Speaker 1>underlying data, but on the surface he has been really good.

0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:57.520
<v Speaker 1>But when is the last time we've had three I

0:39:57.520 --> 0:39:59.520
<v Speaker 1>guess it would be the Orioles. But was it three?

0:40:00.000 --> 0:40:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it was three. Do we have Gunner, Adleie,

0:40:02.560 --> 0:40:04.640
<v Speaker 1>and Grayson all on the same list. I'm trying to

0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 1>remember it.

0:40:05.600 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 2>That sounds right, But Gunner might not have been that

0:40:08.840 --> 0:40:10.680
<v Speaker 2>high when Adleye was still a prospect.

0:40:10.800 --> 0:40:12.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to Yeah, I don't know. I don't think

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:15.719
<v Speaker 1>so either. Regardless, like this is this might be one

0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:18.920
<v Speaker 1>of the best three headed monsters prospect wise that we've

0:40:18.960 --> 0:40:21.759
<v Speaker 1>really seen, because we have Cold at number two, and

0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:23.680
<v Speaker 1>then Solon's the number one pitching prospect in baseball, and

0:40:23.680 --> 0:40:26.040
<v Speaker 1>then Kate Anderson is the top left handed pitching prospect

0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:28.600
<v Speaker 1>in baseball. So that's the fun part with this Mariner

0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.480
<v Speaker 1>system is I mean, you've got some special, special, special

0:40:31.520 --> 0:40:33.719
<v Speaker 1>talent at the top, but there's still some solid depth,

0:40:33.760 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>as we alluded to with with Fromelo and Sealaston and

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:38.360
<v Speaker 1>Arroyo is a guy that we've always skewed weller on

0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:40.239
<v Speaker 1>and we've heard it, you know, I heard it from

0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:43.799
<v Speaker 1>people fours. He's having an okay year with a seven

0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:46.600
<v Speaker 1>to fifty oh ps and double A. Luke Stevenson looks

0:40:46.640 --> 0:40:48.839
<v Speaker 1>like he could be an interesting piece for them as

0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:52.279
<v Speaker 1>well with with the defense and some power projection there

0:40:52.320 --> 0:40:54.560
<v Speaker 1>as well. They're always going to have some some arms

0:40:54.560 --> 0:40:56.520
<v Speaker 1>that kind of come out of nowhere as well. And

0:40:56.560 --> 0:40:59.360
<v Speaker 1>so overall, I mean, this is always a good farm system,

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:01.080
<v Speaker 1>whether it's a little bit top heavy or not.

0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, last team that we get to talk about here

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:06.879
<v Speaker 2>the Saint Louis Cardinals. The Heim Bloom renaissance has been

0:41:07.000 --> 0:41:10.560
<v Speaker 2>awesome to watch and Rainel Rodriguez is at number fifteen,

0:41:10.680 --> 0:41:12.719
<v Speaker 2>nineteen year old catcher in double A has been one

0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:15.040
<v Speaker 2>of the more impressive bets in minor league baseball this year.

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:17.799
<v Speaker 2>You got Jimmy Crooks at eighty five, Tarangelo sainta at

0:41:17.840 --> 0:41:20.279
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight, and then Liam Doyle at ninety four, so

0:41:20.320 --> 0:41:22.840
<v Speaker 2>it is certainly backloaded. You've got three guys in the

0:41:22.880 --> 0:41:25.880
<v Speaker 2>back fifteen on the Top one hundred list. But Rainel

0:41:25.920 --> 0:41:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Rodriguez is doing a ton of heavy lifting here. I mean,

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't have the one by one top one hundred.

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Is he the top catching prospect in baseball?

0:41:36.040 --> 0:41:36.080
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:41:36.239 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Salis at nine, Duno at eleven, and then Rayel Rodriguez

0:41:39.560 --> 0:41:40.200
<v Speaker 2>is number three.

0:41:40.440 --> 0:41:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But there's a case, I mean, you could put him,

0:41:43.000 --> 0:41:44.759
<v Speaker 1>you can make him number like. I think these guys

0:41:44.800 --> 0:41:48.440
<v Speaker 1>are semi interchangeable. I think Salas is slightly off to

0:41:48.480 --> 0:41:51.760
<v Speaker 1>his own but Rodriguez and Duno, I think are really

0:41:51.800 --> 0:41:53.800
<v Speaker 1>they're going to kind of be in tandem for me forever,

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, and it's just going to kind of

0:41:55.400 --> 0:41:57.799
<v Speaker 1>be what have you done for me lately? And try

0:41:57.840 --> 0:41:58.960
<v Speaker 1>not to do that and try to look at it

0:41:59.000 --> 0:42:00.719
<v Speaker 1>at a macro scale. But it's gonna be hard with

0:42:00.719 --> 0:42:02.560
<v Speaker 1>these two and the fact that Rodriguez is already in

0:42:02.600 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 1>double A and starting to settle in there. There's a

0:42:04.680 --> 0:42:07.520
<v Speaker 1>world where Rodriguez might start to separate himself a bit too.

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 1>It's hard because the differentiator between those two is going

0:42:10.120 --> 0:42:11.879
<v Speaker 1>to be defense, and that's the hardest thing to try

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to identify uh with with teenage or twenty year old

0:42:15.520 --> 0:42:17.880
<v Speaker 1>catchers in the minor leagues. The other part too, is

0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 1>like I still think Saint just just scraping the surface

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:22.200
<v Speaker 1>of what he can be. I mean, the strikeouts have

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.960
<v Speaker 1>been there ridiculously and then also like all of a

0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:26.719
<v Speaker 1>sudden he's doing the left handed thing. I still think

0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit of unnecessary thing, but he's starting

0:42:29.800 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to do it better, so it is worth following. Joshua

0:42:32.840 --> 0:42:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Buye is the top one hundred prospect for like everybody else,

0:42:35.000 --> 0:42:37.200
<v Speaker 1>and I get it, so like if we're wrong about him,

0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:39.120
<v Speaker 1>even if we're even if we're not, like he was

0:42:39.120 --> 0:42:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a just miss guy anyways, that's a huge, you know,

0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:43.319
<v Speaker 1>solid piece for you as well. But there's a world

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:45.360
<v Speaker 1>where he is a guy that absolutely should have been

0:42:45.360 --> 0:42:47.239
<v Speaker 1>a top one hundred guy. And then I like some

0:42:47.280 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of the depth that they have too, with some of

0:42:49.000 --> 0:42:51.759
<v Speaker 1>the trades that they've made. I think ty Pete is

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:53.479
<v Speaker 1>starting to settle in a little bit, and he looks

0:42:53.560 --> 0:42:56.640
<v Speaker 1>he looks solid. Uh, the arms are interesting, like tank

0:42:56.680 --> 0:43:00.040
<v Speaker 1>Hences is on the downswing. Fajardo has been good, but

0:43:00.120 --> 0:43:02.280
<v Speaker 1>you know he's kind of limited seeing wise, Quinn Matthews

0:43:02.280 --> 0:43:05.240
<v Speaker 1>just continues to kind of battle some inconsistencies command wise.

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I think the big one for them will be Brandon

0:43:06.760 --> 0:43:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Clark when he comes back from injury. What does he

0:43:08.400 --> 0:43:09.799
<v Speaker 1>look like? Who they got in the trade with the

0:43:09.840 --> 0:43:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Red Sox. But this is still a really, really solid system.

0:43:13.560 --> 0:43:16.160
<v Speaker 1>It is tough though with the struggles of Liam Doyle

0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:19.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe holding it back some. But still good system on

0:43:20.000 --> 0:43:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the upswing overall, as you mentioned, and that's something that

0:43:22.480 --> 0:43:24.480
<v Speaker 1>heim Bloom is always going to do a good job of.

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:27.319
<v Speaker 1>But that might not be what he's tasked with doing

0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:29.719
<v Speaker 1>this deadline, which is you know, I think has signed

0:43:29.760 --> 0:43:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of great things right now.

0:43:30.600 --> 0:43:32.759
<v Speaker 3>On the big league side, Yeah, no doubt.

0:43:33.200 --> 0:43:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Those are our groups of teams. Obviously, the Brewers led

0:43:36.200 --> 0:43:39.000
<v Speaker 2>the way with seven top one hundred prospects, but you

0:43:39.120 --> 0:43:40.879
<v Speaker 2>had the Dodgers with six. He had a whole bunch

0:43:40.920 --> 0:43:42.520
<v Speaker 2>of teams with five, and then we just wrapped up

0:43:42.520 --> 0:43:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the teams with four from Wader. We talked about the

0:43:44.560 --> 0:43:46.839
<v Speaker 2>Houston Astros who had zero. They were the only team

0:43:46.920 --> 0:43:48.880
<v Speaker 2>with zero top one hundred prospects.

0:43:49.280 --> 0:43:51.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, just quickly taken through the rest of the teams,

0:43:52.040 --> 0:43:55.719
<v Speaker 1>the Braves had three. That's a system though, that is

0:43:55.760 --> 0:43:57.920
<v Speaker 1>an up arrow with some of the guys that have

0:43:58.000 --> 0:44:00.279
<v Speaker 1>they have performing Eric Hartman and just what he's been

0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 1>able to do. The Chicago Cubs, it's three right now,

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:05.239
<v Speaker 1>but they have and we just talked about it on

0:44:05.280 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 1>the heat sheet, like Jefferson Rojas looks like a guy

0:44:07.920 --> 0:44:09.799
<v Speaker 1>that's starting to play his way back into top one

0:44:09.880 --> 0:44:12.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred consideration. Josiah hart Schoran is probably going to be

0:44:12.800 --> 0:44:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a top thirty or forty prospect in our next update.

0:44:16.120 --> 0:44:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Kane Kepley was a guy who just missed. Owen Ayers

0:44:19.320 --> 0:44:20.880
<v Speaker 1>is probably going to be a top one hundred prospect

0:44:20.920 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 1>in our next update. So that's a system that I

0:44:23.080 --> 0:44:26.040
<v Speaker 1>think is on the upswing. The White Sox are the

0:44:26.040 --> 0:44:28.239
<v Speaker 1>epitome of a team with three top one hundred guys.

0:44:28.280 --> 0:44:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's a pretty average system. The Tigers

0:44:32.760 --> 0:44:35.640
<v Speaker 1>have graduated guys and have had some injuries, but still

0:44:35.680 --> 0:44:39.000
<v Speaker 1>I think a solid system overall. And then the Pirates

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:43.239
<v Speaker 1>also check in with three, and the Blue Jays as well,

0:44:43.239 --> 0:44:45.799
<v Speaker 1>who also have some guys emerging. Juan Sanchez I like,

0:44:46.480 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 1>but also with the Pirates, Murph Gray is another name

0:44:48.600 --> 0:44:51.880
<v Speaker 1>to watch that could end up entering the fold as well.

0:44:52.040 --> 0:44:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And then the teams with two diamondbacks Orioles, Red Sox, Rockies, Royals, Angels,

0:44:59.600 --> 0:45:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Philly and Rangers there as well. And then of course

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:06.319
<v Speaker 1>with one it's the Padres and the Reds have two

0:45:06.400 --> 0:45:08.440
<v Speaker 1>as well. I should have mentioned we actually left them

0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:11.279
<v Speaker 1>out of the graphic by a mistake, but I'm trying

0:45:11.280 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 1>to think of the teams with two left. I think

0:45:14.080 --> 0:45:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the Orioles have some talent with variants that could get

0:45:16.600 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 1>them up, you know, pretty quickly here. The Red Sox

0:45:19.440 --> 0:45:21.759
<v Speaker 1>always have some guys that I think are emerging. They

0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:23.719
<v Speaker 1>have a few that have been impressive at the lower

0:45:23.800 --> 0:45:25.960
<v Speaker 1>levels that I'm eager to see more from. The Rockies

0:45:26.000 --> 0:45:28.440
<v Speaker 1>have more talent than I think to top one hundred

0:45:28.480 --> 0:45:31.920
<v Speaker 1>spots would imply. And even the Royals with some of

0:45:31.920 --> 0:45:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the recent pickups that they've had have been good. And

0:45:34.480 --> 0:45:37.040
<v Speaker 1>then the Padres. There's always gonna be some guys that

0:45:37.040 --> 0:45:39.319
<v Speaker 1>are emerging, and we've seen that already. But that's just

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:41.040
<v Speaker 1>a quick synopsis on the rest of the teams.

0:45:41.560 --> 0:45:43.520
<v Speaker 3>Cool I dig it. That's our program.

0:45:44.200 --> 0:45:46.440
<v Speaker 1>That'll do it for this week of the call up.

0:45:46.560 --> 0:45:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Hope you all enjoyed. We are looking forward to getting

0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:51.840
<v Speaker 1>back into the regular schedule next week. Probably get a

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 1>team top prospect list out an episode on that and

0:45:54.600 --> 0:45:57.040
<v Speaker 1>then you know a pitching related heat sheet, then maybe

0:45:57.040 --> 0:45:59.279
<v Speaker 1>a player interview will keep you posted. If you could

0:45:59.320 --> 0:46:01.719
<v Speaker 1>leave a rating on audio, help us grow the show

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:04.560

0:46:04.680 --> 0:46:08.560
<v Speaker 1>ton on the production side and I would really appreciate

<v Speaker 1>you guys checking that out as well, and be sure

<v Speaker 1>with you next week.
