I think Tim will walk around a 5.5/6% of the time while getting HBP more than a few times that'll account for that OBP.
Anderson got hit by 1 pitch in 410 PA last season. By your numbers he'll have to get hit around 20 times to get that OBP.
Both Meadows and Glasnow probably too much to ask for, so give me OF Austin Meadows, SS Kevin Newman, RHP Nick Kingham and 3B Max Moroff. Would love Adam Frazier too but they probably don't want to subtract anything from their big-league roster.
That gives you the #9 prospect in baseball, #42, their #10 prospect who I think would be much higher if not for an injury-hit 2016 and their #20 prospect who has been statistically quite good despite a low pedigree.

You think he's gonna walk ~9% of the time?
I'd expect a step backwards offensively unless he drastically changes his approach. His BB and K% were horrendous and he didn't hit the ball hard enough to make up for this, he got pretty lucky.
I'll go .267/.299/.395.

One of Feeky Magee's favorite (fringe) prospects is gone huh.
People can trade their Dykstra shares in exchange for free Eddy Alvarez shares
Carson Fulmer perfect through 4 with 5 Ks
Delmonico 2-2, HR
Coats 1-2, 2B
Seby Zavela 3-3, 2B
Alex Call 0-3, K
Shoutout to Ben Wright of Kannapolis who entered the game with a 5-0 lead and gave up 6 hits with a HBP and an error without getting an out, they now trail 6-5

You can say it's generally a good rule not to draft a reliever in the first rule. That doesn't mean it's always a bad idea. When it's at 26, comfortably the best reliever in the class, a guy at least some scouts think can be a starter and with the reliever market skyrocketing, it doesn't look like a bad idea to me.

Surprised by how bad Saladino has looked at 2nd base
He looked so good at third last season too. So of course we traded for an ageing third baseman who has taken a significant defensive step back.
Jameson Fisher gets forgotten a bit since Call has been mashing at Kanny but he's still chugging along, 3-6 last night with a double and 2 stolen bases. Hitting .338/.430/.466.

Hansen pulled
The guy they put in for him - Brandon Magallones - pitched a scoreless inning with 2 strikeouts and no walks. 1.09 ERA. Came in with a 12 K/9 and 1.15 BB/9.
