  1. iirc, it was along the lines of him having the tools to play it at an extremely high level, making some big-time, highlight-reel plays there during games, and a caveat along the lines of "he just needs reps there to be more consistent".
  2. Atlanta came back for the win, so we gained a game in the division today
  3. The second-order metrics were just as favorable last time I looked a couple weeks ago
  4. This gives me mixed emotions.
  5. Starling Marte with outstanding defense? Sign me up.

  7. I took the time to create the perfect top 20...and got this: I'm confident I hadn't submitted an entry into the new thingy yet.
  8. Not sure I'll vote for him, but at least one outlet has McGeary in the top 20 now
  9. Rumor has it that Yahil Meléndez signed for $400k.
  10. There have been years where I felt like the Cubs only had one scout and he only went to games at the CCL. This isn't quite to that extreme, but it ain't far off.
  11. Yeah, keep an eye on it as the signings come in. I forget who maintains that, but he does an amazing job with a status overview on who has signed, who is leaning which way based on media and social media reports, where things stand with the bonus pool, etc. It's a fantastic resource for the draft itself, but even more so for tracking things afterwards.
  12. Something like this would be awesome: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/1R9hzhGo0Q_29g2bfa2yQwHYqNN799JzkCP7HyK-XCKY/htmlview#
  13. I wouldn't characterize Horton or Jensen as "high-floor" guys, either. That's 1/2 to 3/4 of the picks over the past 4 years. Wicks is the only real "high floor" guy during that time.
  14. Generalize the pick enough and anyone sounds similar. "Hey, they all play baseball!"
  15. Yeah, that's why I made my edit. But just going back in time, we have to get back to 2015 with Happ before there's a guy at all similar. (Horton, Wicks, Howard, Jensen, Hoerner, Lange, Little)
  16. Other than Nico, who is a much, much different hitter. -- edited to add Depending on what was meant by "fall apart"
  17. I'm a bit confused. What players have they picked in the first round similar to Shaw?
  18. Didn't you still have him ranked around 7th in the system a month ago?
