Baseball Executives Surveyed About Prospects

[markedman5]

Feel free to move this to the minor league forum if you want but I thought since we are talking about guys we will see this season I’d post it here. 

lots of respect for future Brewers in other front offices

I'm not really sure where to put this so I'll leave it in the Brewers forum for now.

But one recommendation to all users is to think about how to make people want to converse with your topic. This isn't a call-out, just a mention of how that if you want people to talk about a cool thing you found and want to talk about, title it in an interesting manner.

Which one makes you want to click and discuss more?

Most unexpected was the one executive who was really praising Brown. I had never really seen him discussed in the top tier of defensive prospects in the system. Quero, Mitchell, Turang and Wiemer, yes, but not Brown.

Quite a bit of love for Turang in this survey.

Nice to see Quero get some defensive credit. Having a 19 year old catcher hitting well at A/A+ and being well known for his defense is pretty darn rare. Usually, you hit the lottery if he can do one of those things well. 

Of all our prospects (which seemed really common on these lists) I am surprised he didn't garner any 'underrated' votes. He did amazing all while barely playing in 2021 due to injuries and still being promoted

More love for Quero …….and some for Moore as well.

Very nice, indeed.

I thought it was king of interesting Prince Fielder received votes for best amateur prospect ever. Hard to define "best" but would consider that more of an all around athlete instead of a guy that hits for power. Moneyball even ripped on him pretty bad back in the day.

Prince had 23.8 career WAR.

The seven first-round picks Oakland had in the first round combined for 36 (Swisher 21.5, Blanton 11.8, Brown 0.1, Teahan 2.6), or an average of 5.14 WAR over their career.
