rest of the Northwest Valley (SDP, KCR, TEX) then the Eastern Florida Bloc and I'm done.

In looking at the Dodgers top prospect list, they have 4 players with a FV of "Average Everyday Player" (50+) or better, and a lot of depth with "Low End Regulard/Platoon." This sounds snarky, but I swear this is a genuine question, this suffices for a potential top MLB farm system? Am I thinking about this wrong? Love your content, thanks for all the hard work.

More about the depth than the top end for me.

Where the heck is this coming from with Tovar? I feel like everyone was pretty certain there wasn't any real pop in his bat. I know we've all realized that you don't need plus raw to hit for decent power anymore (well at least until the MLB ball this year), but do we need to open ourselves up to literally anyone having legit power if they make the right changes?

Some of it has to be the offensive environment, right? I mean, I picked to click that guy so I'll take it, but even I'm surprised at how much juice. I've had two scouts tell me he looks ripped this year compared to last and that they buy it.

What’s wrong with Jarred Kelenic? Does he just need more time to adjust to big league pitching or are you starting to feel like he might be a bust

i'm still hopeful things will work out but yeah, this isn't great

I know I'm ready to move on but wanna see how Tess feels about it since she and KG did the Giants list.

I was ready to move on after Fall League, tbh.

Evan Carter with a great start at A+. Outside of remaining healthy and continuing on his current path, what would he need to do to be a 50 for you later in the year? Does he need to start showing more pop?

Eric A Longenhagen

I think you can make an argument for him as a 50 already. Many of the chat questions today are "what's up with Oneil Cruz?" and "why is this or that guy whose swing decisions are terrible struggling" and Carter is the opposite of that.
