I still like Gonzalez. He's still only 22. It's too early to call him a bust. I would bet a large sum that at least 2 of those IF's between 15 and 19 will be MLB regulars. That's a really strong top 20. 

I started paying attention to him because I like his name. with an 80 grade name like Wikelman, he's destined for success. but really excellent stuff, unfortunately he walks 5 guys per 9.

Oh you're talking about Jacob. I liked him out of college, felt it was a good pick, but I thought he would be more advanced by now. I think he looks better than Colson at SS at least.

Jacob Gonzalez all the way down to #15.

Meidroth acquisition a direct shot across the bow as he profiled more as a 2B in terms of tools.

What a catastrophe that pick was. I hate playing the game of "Look who was drafted after him!!" (Bradfield, Lombard, Aiden Miller, Brice Matthews, BTW), but I'm curious who Mike Shirley was focused on when Jeremy Haber allegedly made the call on Gonzo.

I thought they were taking Arjun Nimmala if Blake Mitchell was off the board.

"Is Drew Thorpe eligible for this list? I saw him on the list of 204 that received votes. He had 44 innings pitched last year, which is less than the 50 inning rule for ROY if I’m not mistaken. Wondering where he would land. I think he was top 50 before making his MLB debut. He was on the MLB active roster for about 50 days though, not sure if BA goes by the 45 day rule?"

BA.com

Drew Thorpe fell into the others receiving votes category for the BA Top 100...quite the descent from last year.

A bit ridiculous for Montgomery to be at #39 and for Quero to miss the list altogether.

If Quero remains healthy, he'll hit better than 95% of all catchers. His defense isn't a sure thing yet either. Still, not

making the list is silly. He could move to another position and still be very valuable. Hit for average and solid power 

with a ton of walks plays just about anywhere.

That’s the best 31 to 40 I can remember in at least over a decade.

The system is really good. I know, shocker haha. 

I knew it was much deeper, but seeing some of these names does really reinforce that point.  Zavala would firmly be a top 15 to 20 prospect in most years for us and he’s not even making the top 30.  Imagine if we actually had a LatAm pipeline to supplement the prospects we already have in place.
