June 22, 20187 yr I'm surprised Callis didn't drop Robert from the way he was talking about him. Nothing negative, he just sounded like he felt they placed him too aggressively early.

Nothing negative, he just sounded like he felt they placed him too aggressively early. I think at this point they probably figure they just have to own it and hope he plays up to that level. It wouldn't look any better for them to drop him for seemingly no reason.
June 22, 20187 yr 31 minutes ago, DH in the NL said: No draft picks from this year made it Probably because Madrigal is still playing so hasn't signed. Not eligible to rank.

Plus, this is only a tweak to the rankings and not their full update, so him making it on the list means they really like what he is doing.
June 22, 20187 yr PIpeline is so conservative with dropping players down. Curious how many would take Rutherford over Adolfo at the moment

Curious how many would take Rutherford over Adolfo at the moment Mayo/Callis are consistently 6-12 months behind the rest of the industry. It's baffling that MLBAM hasn't managed to get better guys to run what should be the most legit source of coverage we have.
June 22, 20187 yr Wonder if Basabe was even close...? Guess there would be about a 50/50 split between scouts on Rutherford vs. Adolfo long-term... Edited June 22, 20187 yr by caulfield12

The weird thing to me is there feels like a huge disconnect between how their top 100 lists play out and their interviews about players. I like their interviews, but pipeline basically hedges by saying like 90% of prospect are between 45 and 55 FV, and they are so slow to drop players clearly having difficulty at higher levels.
June 22, 20187 yr Yeah, hard to see Kopech realistically retaining his status as top Rh pitching prospect in the game over these last couple of months...unless we throw out results/performance and only go with potential.
June 22, 20187 yr No one has mentioned it yet, but Dunning took the biggest jump of any Sox player, possibly anyone on this entire top 100 board. He went from 92 to 56.

Yeah, that's true. A lot of it might be that they just aren't willing to go out on a limb for guys like some of the smaller publications do. Like everyone knows three or four guys that Law or Longenhagen or whatever are super high on compared to consensus.

That’s basically what they go on. Puk, Reyes, and Honeywell are done for the year yet they’re still in the top 30

He went from 92 to 56. He's been pretty remarkable this year. He might end up being the best part of the Eaton trade. Solid stuff, good command, knows how to pitch. I've read/heard nothing but good things about him.
