June 13, 20196 yr Vaughn now ranked 46th in the top 100, third behind Robert and madrigal in the sox system. Other draftees: Rutschman 9 Witt 38 Bleday 45 Abrams 62 Greene 85 Pretty unusual that only 6 draft guys make the top 10 right away usually it is at least 8-9. Others will make it based on performance but so far it looks like a pretty weak draft. This year only had 7 50s at fangraphs last year it was more than 10.

I think this is college pitching rearing its head again as they are typically more advanced, in addition to fangraphs offseason shift in downgrading pitching in general. I think we will see a decent amount of action from the 10-30 players but they need to prove it.

June 13, 20196 yr Thanks for the heads up on this. Just did a quick run through and a couple things stood out. 4 of the top 5 guys on the list are from the Dominician Republic. Also, Atlanta and Tampa have absolutely loaded farms. Each organization has double digit guys listed in the top 130. That is insane. San Diego isn't far behind either.
June 13, 20196 yr Robert was bumped to 27, but I don't think his tools were updated. Unless they think Madrigal has better game power than Robert.

June 13, 20196 yr You can count darn near 10 guys ahead of Robert that should be behind him. Hayes, Trammel, brujan, lux, Bart, Sanchez, May, Ruiz, Whitley, maybe Pache
June 14, 20196 yr Appears MLB Pipeline has moved Robert up to 15, Baseball America moved him to 35 (from 49).

Not a loud athlete and he doesn’t have loud tools but he has an amazing eye at the plate and amazing OBP skills and he doesn’t strike out.

June 16, 20196 yr Author Fangraphs hasn't updated player grades, they just added the draftees. I'm pretty sure they will bump robert up in the midseason ranking especially if he can stay healthy.
June 29, 20196 yr So if you take the BOARD from Fangraphs and just Filter on Sox, you get their Top 32 as they stand now as well as the updated overall Top 100 ranks for the Top 5: Name FV 1. Luis Robert (25) 55 2. Michael Kopech (28) 55 3. Nick Madrigal (30) 55 4. Andrew Vaughn (44) 50 5. Dylan Cease (49) 50 6. Dane Dunning 45 7. Luis Basabe 45 8. Blake Rutherford 45 9. Luis Gonzalez 45 10. Zack Collins 40+ 11. Micker Adolfo 40+ 12. Steele Walker 40+ 13. Matt Thompson 40 14. Andrew Dalquist 40 15. Alec Hansen 40 16. Seby Zavala 40 17. Jake Burger 40 18.
