Midseason Updates to Prospect Rankings
CaliforniaRaisin replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
16. PCA 31. Horton 95. Shaw Ben Brown dropped out. Jackson Holliday is the only 2022 draftee ranked higher than Horton (admittedly Neto graduated). Also everyone should move up 2 spots - Bobby Miller graduated by service time (BA doesn’t track service time) and Elly de la Cruz will graduate after 5 more at bats. -

They corrected themselves to say it was 2016-2023…which is still wrong since Nico has 8.4 fWAR (and the Mets and Braves numbers are wrong based on Pete Alonso and Spencer Strider alone). And now they’ve deleted both tweets.

Ian Kinsler or Marcus Semien on the high end. EDIT: Pretty important to make sure autocorrect doesn't take over when spelling Marcus' last name. -
The Cardinals haven't gotten a free pick since 2021 and might no longer qualify.

Here’s a full 30 pick first round from one of the best, Joe Doyle:

Senior at Miami (OH)
-
PCA and Drew Bowser graduated in the same HS class and are good friends.
-
The Cardinals drafted Cam Johnson in the 20th round. The Dodgers drafted former Clemson and current Oregon St QB DJ Uiaglalei in the 20th round. He did hit the mid-90s in HS.
-
20th rounder: 2B/3B Drew Bowser, Stanford BA had him rated 231. Was a Day 1 talent out of HS in 2020 (same HS as Giolito, Fried, Flaherty and PCA) but went to Stanford. Lot of swing and miss and plate recognition issues but tons of power.
-
Cubs drafted UCLA lefty Ethan Flanagan in the 17th round. 89-92 FB, good slider and decent change. Lots of injury issues. He's a draft-eligible sophomore. BA has him ranked 295th.
-
BA had Hope at 276 and Trice at 249. Hope is a UNC commit. Hopefully he's signable.
-
13th rounder: RHP Sam Armstrong, Old Dominion (sr)
-
Is this Savermetrics? He’s posted on NSBB before and is on Twitter.

7th rounder signing for over slot.
