Archer is basically a default #1 because no one has stepped up and grabbed it, while Lee has fallen back and at least Archer has shown something.

Doug will by with his tomorrow and a combined list on Friday. In the meantime I'm happy to answer any questions in the comments.
Lenny Linsky is listed twice. Also, Alejandro Segovia is having a very strong year in BG despite the limited at bats. Is his lack of a track record keeping him off these lists?
ReplyDeleteThanks, fixed.
DeleteFor Segovia, it's a combination of age, a limited track record, and the low batting average. The walks and power are nice but 22-year-olds only hitting .227 in the MWL are tough to take seriously, in my opinion.
Damn! 1 game at Princeton at Oscar jumps 12 spots from your pre-season list
ReplyDeleteIt is all part of prospecting. His value may have not gotten higher, but the info we (and Kevin) have on him is more clear and larger. Baseball America named him one of the top 15 or so prospects from VSL/DSL. They also gave a positive scouting report on him. Then the Rays sent him to Princeton instead of the GCL, another good sign. It is one of the main issues with prospects (the lack of details that is).
DeleteGreat answer!
DeleteKevin You guys do a great job. My question is on Oscar Hernandez.I haven't seen him play before and u guys have more insights on this prospects. But is this guy for real.What is the scouting report on him because I haven't read or seen a detailed one yet. Batting .402 in 69 games as an 18yr old is not an easy thing to do even if the VSL is considered to be weak. What baffles me is that he batted .223 in 34 games the previous year. And he had a good start yesterday. Also excited to see Taylor and Archer pitch tonight. Go Rays
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen much scouting on Oscar either, but what's out there has been positive and the stats are just so loud I can't ignore them.
DeleteThe good news is that Oscar has done away with the big "Bautista-esque" leg kick so may not hit for as much power but will be much more solid at the plate overall. And his defense also improved through working at the copmpler with Jamie. I don't think anybody I talked to over there had a negative to say, seems like a good kid with a bright future.
DeleteWhat about Tim Beckham?
ReplyDeleteThis is top 30 prospects, not busts
DeleteYou know what, I somehow completely missed him. I would slot him in at #13.
DeleteI disagree with the last post he is only 22. How can you class him as a bust?
