Someone help me understand how some of the MLB.com prospect grades work. Like some of it doesn’t make sense. I’m just going to use Jaims Martinez as an example: He’s graded with 55 Hit/45power/60run/55arm/60field, yet his overall grade is 40, which seems to be the lowest grade to be considered a serious prospect. How do they come up with that?

None of the rankings have acknowledged the emergence of young Jose Escobar. Is there any intel on him?

I'll never not be a fan of low risk, high end reclamations. Sure, you're most likely to end up with Jacob Turner, Ian Stewart, or Mike Olt, but sometimes you get Jake Arrieta.
