I think you have them in the right order, maybe Lagrange ahead of ERC on ceiling

I see a lot more about Adam Serwinowski online lately. Is that the big market bump or did he make a jump this past year?

Huh, that's actually really interesting. It's possible all it takes is one person to start talking about a guy before the herding begins.

Over the past decade, a number of organizations have gotten adept at taking pitchers with good command and getting velocity gains - Cleveland's development of Beiber being a primary example. This makes sense to me and I would think there are some standard practices at this point to do this. Are any teams getting good at the inverse - taking pitchers with great stuff and improving their command? (I'm hoping the Twins can do this with Mick Abel.)

I think there are teams (and the Rays seem to be one most explicitly) who think they can at least make guys who have real sh*t throw enough strikes to be *something*, even if they're not a surgeon.

Did Dante Nori’s year justify where he was drafted?

Too early to say definitively, thought his year was fine, not moving the needle either way

Does it make sense for the M’s to trade Harry Ford, since he’s probably most valuable as a starting catcher? If so, what could they expect to get for him?

Nah, catching depth is too important, he seems like a great kid to have around and I think there are ways to make him your big league backup without really stunting his development.

What will the next prospect inefficiency be? Bringing up players earlier? A specific market/country?

I think shaping them as athletes, exercise physiology that keeps them healthy, makes them stronger without impacting their mobility.
so it's front of mind

Okay, I have to split slightly early this week. There are still great questions in the queue and I thank everyone for again spending your friday with me and the site. Asian pro thoughts coming from James and I next week, gird your loins.
