I've been voting Torreyes for a few rounds now. I don't know much about evaluating prospects, but I just have a feeling that he's going to be a very solid major leaguer. Yep, your little rating system is being tainted by my feelings.

I went Torreyes, Candelario and Underwood. This thing sort of reminds me of a fantasy draft. We are in the 13th, 14th and 15th rounds now. It is at this point, as a dynasty and upside guy, that I start taking chances on youth and upside, and these three have that.

Jeimer victory?

 

Yeah. I forgot to start the next poll last night. I'll start the next poll once I get out of work (NSBB is blocked at work and I'm not starting a poll off my phone).

The more I think about it and analyze the numbers, I don't see why Candelario is so far ahead of Marco Hernandez. The biggest difference between their numbers in SS-ball was patience. And while Candelario's numbers were pretty impressive considering he was 18, Marco was only 19 all season long. He had a taste of full season ball and started to hit toward the end of his stay in Peoria. I chalk his demotion more up to Baez being awesome than Hernandez being bad, though overall he was bad at low A. Candelario's power really dipped late in the year with 4 of his 6 HRs coming in June (though 8 of his 14 doubles were in the last month). Marco actually showed better power overall for Boise. And he really raked in the final month of the season, which was more impressive considering he was the only guy playing a full schedule of games since April.

 

Candelario gets the edge in age and patience. But gotta give the edge to Marco everywhere else including playing the key SS position and actually playing it at a level that projects to keep him there.

I'm totally with you, I rank Candelario and Hernandez back-to-back.
