Sitting mid 90's is a big diff from touching mid 90's like the reports from the winter say

This is clearly a guy that they think they can Pitch Lab up, because on the surface he seems to be pretty meh

Minor League Discussion & Boxes, 7-28-21
Bertz replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
He's been red hot since basically mid June. Honestly just about every bat in the system got off to a slow start. I don't know how fair it is to just yell "Pandemic" and pretend May didn't happen though. -
I think you're grossly overrating the value of a comp pick? For a big market team like the Cubs, it's going to come in at approximately pick #70. At that point you're looking at, by FG methodology, a 40 FV guy (Org Top 30 type). The Rangers in this deal got two guys of that caliber, plus a 45 (Org Top 10 type) and a 50 FV (Overall Top 100). I mean Andrew Chafin netted out well north of a comp pick, KB certainly will.

About a week ago, Jeff Passan wrote this I'd guess KB's only a smidge more valuable than Starling Marte. So while the shape may be wildly different, that set the market IMO.

Marte is gonna be a solid barometer for what KB should bring back.

Looks like he will be a starter in the next few weeks. I'm definitely interested to see how he does, same with Steele.

Yeah, I think the absolute best case scenario for this type of guy is Jesse Winker, with Seth Smith being the likely outcome. Suddenly we've got a lot of LHH OFers who you might not trust for full time duty but are probably the strong half of a platoon: Happ Heyward Ortega Deichman Rivas With Davis coming on fast, I feel like you could probably add a really good RHH OFer this winter (Tommy Pham?) and consider the outfield set. God knows exactly how it shakes out, but there's enough quality that it will.

He's probably just a strong side platoon bat...but also might be one hell of one? http://www.minorleaguesplits.com/mls/cgi-bin/player.cgi?player=656364/Greg-Deichmann Vs Left - .186/.279/.288, 11.8% BB 32.4% K Vs Right - .345/.487/.515, 21.7% BB 19.6% K

Deichman is number 9 in their system by both MLB.com and Fangraphs', and could probably come up and play in MLB tomorrow. A little old but that's fun.
-
Really good point here RE Kantrovitz. I'll be a lot more okay with seemingly lesser names in this deal than I'd likely be otherwise.

Really curious what he and Tepera net at. I'd guess a 45 FV via the Fangraphs' prospect parlance (an Org Top 10 caliber)
-
Eno's not a rumor guy but he's very well respected but also this wording is really ambiguous?
