Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 1 minute ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: So you think he goes up and not down? Certainly possible as he was still 12% better than league average and a 21 year old, but k'rates north of 30 can scare off anyone. Hell, moncada fell in some rankings solely because of his bat to ball skills and he struck out a lot but his batted ball numbers were absurd. I don't know and honestly I don't care. I put little to no value in any prospect ranking list. The Marlins bought low on him because that was most likely the only time he would ever be available. It was a bold move and I hope it works out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 As of the last FG's prospect update: Madrigal - 25th Jazz - 28th At the start of the year: Madrigal - 32nd Jazz - 31st Not a huge change, and their FV's are the same so they are classified the same, but Madrigal jumped him with this past season according to them.

I think the Marlins sold high on Gallen more than they bought low on Jazz but that's just semantics anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Speaking of prospects who might be traded, surprised no-one has mentioned Dalquist or Thompson. Recent draftees that wouldn't headline a deal, but could add some heft to package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a stupid way to evaluate a player, but if that's what they want to base their rankings on then so be it. Fangraphs was also higher on Moncada than Law who had him pushed down in the 20th range. At the end of the day, Robert I think is valued much higher (league wide) then that rankings but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems like he has a "nearly top of the league how are we getting this guy available" value. If you want to get the Mets talking about DeGrom, he's the kind of guy who could make that happen.

Yeah, I think baseball is infatuated with ceilings; always has been. Robert has a best player in the World ceiling, despite his bust potential. The amount of prospects that have this ceiling is incredibly low. I also find the Robert ranking by FG to be odd. They loved Buxton because his floor was so damn high. Bux was getting sent down when he was on 3 WAR paces solely because his bat hadn't played up. Robert's glove and base running probably make him a 2.5-3 WAR player just rolling out of bed; look at Victor Robles for a comp if he doesn't hit next year. Robert could also, like many incredibly talented players before him, make an adjustment really quickly in the big leagues to his approach and he could dominate from the beginning. He's never really had to change his approach, so it's tough to say whether he can do it or not. That is the big question for Robert. If he does that, you're talking about as elite of a talent as you're going to find around the league and teams are infatuated with that kind of talent.

Robert has bust potential for sure, and does not draw many walks currently, which may frighten some evaluators. The upside is immense, because if Robert continues to improve you are looking at an absolute five tool force. Let Robert prove himself in AAA for the first month or two of 2020, and if he does as expected call him up to the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he really have that much bust potential though? With his defense, even if the bat never comes elite, he is likely a 3 WAR player, Similar to Buxton, who certainly hasn't been very good with the bat, but still has been immensely valuable when on the field due to his defense.

Yeah, this is my argument as well. His bust potential with his bat is obviously legit as he has some swing and miss, and he hasn't been tested yet so it's hard to conclude how he will adjust. That is a fair take to have, but his BR and defense are elite. He doesn't even need to be a great bat for this to matter. Buxton was just a 2.7 WAR player in 1/2 a season! The point of being a legit 5 tool prospect is that if one of the tools doesn't show up in the big leagues, you have 4+ tools to carry you. The less tools you have, the more carrying power one tool must have, but when you have 3 carrying tools and 2 + FV tools, you've got some security.

They said at the end of the year, that they were done moving guys and they took a lot of questions regarding the Robert situation, and they stubbornly have stayed consistent with their valuation on him.

I actually think Buxton is a pretty great comp for him, though perhaps Robert has a tad more offensive upside, Buxton a tad more defensive upside. Hopefully he can stay healthier than Byron has.

It is not immediately clear which above average starting pitcher(s) may be available via trade either, but you never know for various reasons.
