February 28, 20206 yr nice new writeups but pretty boring list. They are very conservative to drop players down their rankings.
February 28, 20206 yr Anyone that is 27 years old doesn't belong on a prospect list. JMO. Edited February 28, 20206 yr by Jack Parkman

There are lots of good MLB players that came in to the game 26+ 25 or 26 depending on the position and injuries. Dunning is 25 and probably won't make his MLB debut until next season at 26. He still counts because he missed a lot of time with his elbow injury and there is no long term concern left. I have no issues with Dunning being considered a prospect at 26, as long as he's about ready to reach MLB. Position players become non-prospects at age 26 for me with the sole exception of catchers. Catchers can still be prospects at age 25-26 but other everyday players I usually consider non-prospects if they're not in AAA by age 24. Edited February 28, 20206 yr by Jack Parkman

June 12, 20205 yr Whether you include guys like Robert, Kopech, Madrigal, Collins or exclude them...This farm system still looks loaded to me, especially on 7/2 with these picks and IFAs

Vera is all but confirmed I'm extremely optimistic on BOTH Cespedes now and Colas later...along with the other handful of projected signings

Players are prospects until they have 50 IP or 130 AB in the big leagues.

Jonathan Stiever 9. Matthew Thompson 10. Andrew Dalquist 11. Norge Vera I'd slot Cespedes in at 5 if they get him.

My thought process for Crochet is that hard throwing lefty with a wipeout slider has a decent floor (bullpen) with the Sox, whereas while I'm high on Madrigal, it's a profile so unique that I just need to see against MLB pitching. Crochet will be below Madrigal on the Top 100, but I just feel like the Sox are the perfect home for him.
