On behalf of all Mets fans dreading prospect list season, thank you for delaying our list as long as possible.

It's not that bad? The short season guys are really interesting, especially if Kelenic was still there
AJ

So I found out my former college coach is using blast motion sensors to make sure hitters are swinging down on the ball. Sounds like I made the right decision to transfer lol
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:52
maybe he can't afford a tamp for the dirt in front of home plate

What ceiling does Xavier Edwards have?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:53
He COULD be Nick Madrigal, or some version of the little athletic 2B with enough pop to be dangerous. Long way to go, though.
Nick
2:53
I've seen some takes on Brice Turang (SS, MIL) say that he might not hit enough, and has utility risk as a result. Do you agree?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:54
He was seen as a 1-1 candidate when scouts were sold on the hit tool and he lasted until the middle of the road due to that...so yes

Who are some of the top 2019 J2 guys?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:55
Sounds like there's gonna be two guys that cost essentially all of a team's pool: Robert Puason and Jasson Dominguez. That's the consensus top two guys, but some scouts think the top tier is 3, or 1, etc. since these kids are 15 and don't get seen a ton after they cut deals, so lots of variance in projections

Why aren't you as high on my pet prospect from my favorite team as I am and how do you sleep at night?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

SOUNDLY
BETTER THAN SOME BABIES

What on Earth is happening with Carter Stewart?  The Braves aren't going to lose their #9 pick are they??
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:56
Still haven't heard a decision, so we don't know the answer until the decision comes, but I think it's very unlikely they lose the pick

How many current MiLB pitching prospects would you take over Adley Rutschmann?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:58
you can see that we have 2 pitchers above 55, 14 are exactly 55
I'd say like 5 of those 55's, so the answer is 7 for me today

Does Sixto Sanchez have the ability to be the top pitching prospect in baseball by the end of the year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:59
He might just get it by default if he's healthy and Whitley graduates
Which could be before the All Star break

Of the six pitchers that made your top ten in the Braves prospect list, how many of them to you expect to still be in the Braves organization this time next year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:00
over/under of 4.5

Hope your backyard hasn't flooded with all this rain!
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Nope but there's been a lot of rain /shakes fist at sky

Think if Phillies don't sign an out fielder Alec Bohm could see playing time in 2019?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:00
No chance!

Any discussion around adding ML level asset values to THE BOARD?  Even if it's just recently graduated guys
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:01
Oh that's gonna happen
John

What exactly did you and Eric mean by this in the Nats writeup: "This farm is strangely better equipped to add a star in a one-for-one kind of deal than it is to add talent with a package of 40s and 45 FVs." Thanks.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:01
They have a couple super valuable prospects and not a ton of quality depth behind them
3:02
Whereas most farms that have 1-2 elite guys have lots of depth behind them
Danny

What is Roansy Contreras's ceiling? Does he have any plus offerings and does he have additional room to fill out and add/maintain higher velo?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:02
Big upside, two plus pitches at times and flashes some starter traits but it's very early
The Ghost of Wade Boggs
3:02
Do you guys scout and or grade pitcher stamina? If so, is that something you could add to the board? It'd be handy to tell which pitchers are likely to be relievers or starters
AvatarKiley McDaniel
3:03
Stamina is really often not the think that separates that. Third pitch and command are almost always the reason. Stamina is usually tied to conditioning and most guys don't have above average stuff and are out of shape

Mariners have a top 10 farm system?
