It's because we hate the Yankees.

Does LoLo Sanchez have a chance to be on this list next year?
Eric A Longenhagen

Yes

True or false?  Sixto Sanchez got his name from being born with a sixth toe on his left foot?

If you had to re-draft the top 5 of 2017 draft, how would you do so?

Do you guys account for an organization's developmental skill when evaluating these prospects? Such as a clubs success with a certain type of player or skill that pushes the floor/ceiling one way or another?

We try not to, but I do think some orgs have better player dev than others and at some point that makes a difference. Like, Yankees player dev is very good and it's why we're even talking about guys like Jordan Montgomery, Jonathan Loasiga, Chance Adams, etc. We don't talk about those guys BEFO]RE NYY player dev has turned them into 45s and 50s but we do eventually, so that's how I think player dev impacts our lists most. We don't do that preemptively, though.

Who on this list explodes off like Judge did last year?

re: 2017 re-draft
1. McKay
2. Hiura
3. Wright
4. Gore
5. Lewis
6. Greene
7. Adell
8. Lutz
9. Pearson
then, in some order, Baz, Bukauskas and Heliot
Even I may take them in a slightly different order, and some of these are very close, but those are the names I'd have near the top.

Aha! Great question, Drew. Look to the HIGH variance guys on the list who also project to be in the bigs this year. Variance does not equal risk because it's on both the positive and negative side of what we think are mean outcomes for these guys.
Like, last year none of us would have predicted Judge would explode like that, but we all would tell you it was possible.

What were the main reasons you had Adames ahead of Rodgers for SS prospects?

Mostly contact and proximity

Do you ever get enraged by how many times you have to repeat iterations of banal scouting phrases like “tap into his power”?  Does this make either of you want to jump out of a car while it’s moving?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

that why I never chat from a moving car
Eric A Longenhagen

I get sick of some phrases, sure.

Alrighty that's all for me folks 100 minutes of chat is my personal limit

But there's a line between colorful writing and whimsical writing that I don't want to cross.

Yeah, we have more work to do for this week's stuff. Remember to check back tomorrow for more #content.
Have a great day. I'll chat during this time next week, while Kiley will resume regular Wednesday hours. Be well and goodbye!
