southsider2k5 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The divide on Colson is WILD, though historically the BA's of the world have been much quicker to adjust to changes in a players performance to move them into a more appropriate range.

southsider2k5 Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 For #33, this doesn't seem like a great write up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The Dodgers have 7 on the list besides Roki. They are absolutely unreal machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyle Moooton Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 I believe Quero cracking this list means he could net us an extra pick if he somehow with ROTY and is with the big league squad out of Spring? I think you need to be on 2/3 top 100’s: pipeline, BA, ESPN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson with the A's (son of Jack) is the runaway early favorite...odds are sub optimal Quero would even get 100 games if he started right out of the gate in late March...and that's highly unlikely to happen due to his missed time last season due to injury in the second half and relative lack of AAA seasoning.

Wilson had like a .630 OPS with disappointing defense last year. He has some work to do to win RoY. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. It is an odd profile: tons of contact, almost zero swing and miss, but goes outside the zone, 30 power. So, all the OBP is in the batting average and there is no slugging. If he doesn’t have plus defense, that’s barely a regular. Maybe he’ll get stronger or more selective, but right now he looks like a second division regular. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Caruso with more pop haha...his dad was surely a defensive specialist, but somehow he got to #30 on the majority of Top 100 lists for SOME reason/s. I personally can't claim to have watched him all that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Apparently, the Sox placed 5 more prospects on ESPN's follow-up, "just missed" list.

Burke was the write up we already saw from McDaniel. It's definitely not Wolkow Ramos or Colas. Taylor? Not with his spotty injury history so far.

caulfield12 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) Okay....we have different definitions of "just missed." That's 101-115 territory. Btw, is Gonzalez lower rated now than every single player from that draft class picked before him? Edited January 30 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) "White Sox: Grant Taylor, RHP Though Taylor missed Louisiana State's '23 national championship season because he had Tommy John surgery that February, the White Sox still picked him in the second round. He has regained his power stuff: an upper-90s fastball, a sharp low-90s cutter and a pair of solid breaking pitches. He got back on the mound last May and logged a 1.13 ERA with a 25/1 K/BB ratio in 16 innings at Single-A before getting shut down with a lat strain, then returned for the Arizona Fall League. Paul Skenes believes in him." https://www.mlb.com/news/each-mlb-club-s-best-non-top-100-prospect-2025?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage Edited January 30 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
