Do you know what type of injury has sidelined KBO 3Bman Do Yeong Kim for all but 2 at bats this season?

I think he's good, haven't watched him though, he's no longer a rookie.

Now that the O's list has dropped, where do you feel that their system sits compared to the rest of the league? I'm used to seeing them with a slew of 50 FV + prospects, it seems like their system has thinned out considerably with promotions and trades and they are sitting maybe in the 7th to 10th range for their total system?

I wrote about this in the System Overview. I think it's an above-average system. On average each team has three top 100 prospects, and they're right there at that mark. The depth of 45 and 40+ guys is really strong and exciting. They were 6th last year with a "worse" system Farm System Rankings | FanGraphs Baseball

What's your favorite name (literally the name, not player) with a realistic chance to make the majors?

How quick are you to edit your priors based on early season data? Ex: if a prospect hit a ball with max EV 5 MPH harder than their previous career high on Day 2, would that be enough to bump up their power grade on its own?

I'd wanna see more than just one of those.

When I'm souring data I'm souring a huge amount of it at one time and essentially calling in a favor to do so. I'm not about to do that after a week

Does the NCAA's (pending) settlement that removes scholarship limits make it easier for Manfred + Co to further slash the minors even though it's clearly harmed the development of young players? Cannot believe these owners insist on saving pennies to the detriment of the big league produt.

I think MLB would like to outsource dev to NCAA as much as possible as a cost-saving measure. IDK how many owners view dev as an investment rather than a cost. They will need to be the ones who speak up about this during the next CBA.
