  1. Off a lefty! 108.3 EV! With PCA and Triantos celebrating!
  2. So happy Mark upgraded his phone.
  3. I’ll have an update on Riley Thompson tomorrow! He worked out at Eric Cressey’s pitching center this winter. Good stuff that gives him a chance. Good stuff, Greg!
  4. I would be mad if Nimmala was available and the Cubs passed on him. Also:
  5. Thanks, I can never keep the development leagues straight. How long do they let him stick with being a two-way player? I’d imagine until it’s determined (if) which has a significantly higher ceiling. Or if health precludes him from pitching. Masyn Winn was drafted as a 2-way player in 2020 with somewhat similar hype and has only thrown 1 professional inning (in 2021). He’s already settled in as a position player. I’ve been under the impression Mulé is better/has a higher ceiling as a pitcher than hitter. I think it’s easier to quit pitching if you’re a better hitter (due to the health risks) than the opposite so if he truly is a better pitcher, I think he’ll be a 2-way player longer than Winn was.
  6. Mule came in the top 30. Do you all think he will be in instructs all year? I wouldn't be surprised with a little bit of time at Myrtle late in the year after that last big wave of promotions. A la Koen Moreno last year. Really the type of guy who makes you miss having short season leagues. Absolutely.
  7. Mule came in the top 30. Do you all think he will be in instructs all year? Instructs are in fall after the season. I’m guessing you mean Extended Spring Training. I’m pretty sure he’ll stay in Mesa for Ex ST when the minor league teams break in April and will play in the ACL when their season starts in the summer. Between being a two-way player and having an arm injury his senior year, he’s pretty inexperienced, even compared to the normal prep prospect.
  8. Pipeline top 30 is out: I’d say it’s the least *different* one, especially at the top.
  9. Longehagen’s draft board: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2023-mlb-draft/summary?type=0&sort=-1,1
  10. BA released the remainder of their top 30 today: 11. Wicks 12. Canario 13. Caissie 14. Palencia 15. Ferris 16. Ballesteros 17. Herz 18. Triantos 19. Piñango 20. Assad 21. Made 22. Hodge 23. Hill 24. Strumpf 25. Aliendo 26. Devers 27. P. Ramírez 28. Sanders 29. Franklin 30. R. Thompson
  11. 17. PCA 56. Alcántara 71. Horton 89. Davis
  12. Longenhagen rated Cruz as the third best IFA on 2024, with a 45 FV and expects him to sign for $4.5 million: The Padres and Braves have higher rated IFA signees and the kid the Padres are signing might be the best IFA signee since Wander. Really crazy that Cruz could go from the best to third (even if it’s just one ranking) in less than a year but that’s teenagers for you.
