One of them is third best and it's crazy that any one of those three has TWO better than him in the same system.

 

ahhhh, that makes more sense.

Russell

 

i think i rate Bryant, Russell, Buxton, Soler the top four in baseball, in that order

[Sammy Sofa]

Getting trounced for #1 was bad enough, but now Soler is trailing for the #2 spot?!? You're all shaved apes.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Considering I had Russell #1...gonna vote for him here.

It's madness that you offered three Cub prospects better than Carlos Correa and it isn't rampant homerism.

I still have some doubts as to what Russell's position would be long-term in a "perfect world" scenario (which this isn't ... ), and I get the argument that the combination of bat upside, solid defensive right field capability, some level of safety in MLB performance, and improved nutrition makes Soler appealing, but the vote for me would be Russell (and to be quite honest, I probably even have some really mild concerns on Russell's bat). That said, an upper level, potential shortstop with plus offensive potential, and particularly, plus power, is just too tantalizing to pass up here. Soler simply has too high of a hurdle, in my mind, to jump that, as his offensive potential projections aren't that much better than Russell's. I think there's a decent argument for Russell against Bryant (although I would still rank Bryant first), but he's simply too tantalizing an asset to pass here.

 

I do think we can probably lump Soler next and just move on to 4, but that's obviously up to Tim.

 

Mildly curious who voted for Vogelbach (and I guess Torres, but Vogelbach was the more extreme of the two).

i really believe russell is either a very good defensive shortstop who hits a lot or a very good defensive third baseman who hits even more. i love soler (HE'S MY PHONE'S WALLPAPER YOU GUYS) but i'm voting addy until he isn't there.

it's probably me just being super gun shy on contact deficient prospects (gallo and his sub MLB Baez contact rates in AA being ranked #6 on BA's list is pure insanity to me - I'm convinced he cant possibly have a successful career)...it's definitely not me trying to make a hipster pick, but id definitely go tossup between russell/soler and then bryant.

t i'm voting addy until he isn't there.

 

Don't call it that.
