    Were those the stated pool play criteria? I found those as seeding tiebreakers, but I couldn’t find the pool play ones anywhere online.

    I think that both are defensible. Rodriguez was ranked highly coming into the year because of his defensive upside more than his offensive ability. Until his recent slump, he was having a good offensive season, too. Some people were really high on Cairone before the accident. Given the circumstances I have no problem with them essentially holding his place until next season. Both were in the 31-40 range for me, but I don’t view either inclusion as egregious.

    Wasn’t Baez initially signed as a catcher?

    Ortuno is probably one of the top 30 performing hitters from that signing class and, now that Angel Arredondo got talked about because he was traded, probably the most anonymous. Ton of top 5 prospects in their systems, a few top 10s, a couple Handelfry Encarnacion types, and then Ortuno.

    You keep trying to denigrate Ryan without giving thought that the Tigers might just be that high on him where the number of pitcher comps they would prefer is small and mostly either guys like Henderson who are valuable already on contenders, guys contenders were using in other trades or prospects on teams with significant pitching needs themselves. You could argue that maybe more options open up in the offseason, but there is no guarantee.
  7. CheeseheadInQC
    Fangraphs has Ryan top 25, MLB pipeline top 75. If these are close to accurate, the list of possibilities is short, especially when you eliminate the guys who would definitely require Made (Anderson, Sloan, Hernandez, possibly White), guys whose organization needs pitching a lot more than hitting (Susana, Sykora, Eyanson post-trade), and the other Dodger (Zazueta).

    Not sure about the complex leagues, but I guess I was under the assumption it was all the AA through low-A leagues. But, yah, the EVs show Frias’ power is legit.
  9. CheeseheadInQC
    I still don’t like this deal, but seeing the totality of the deadline deals, I wonder if prospect lists are lagging behind team evaluations in one bigger picture regard. Outside of the Red Sox going full Padres, it generally felt like the packages that felt light contained pitchers and the ones that felt like overpays contained hitters. I wonder if Hardin, Letson and Knoth are the most valuable Brewers minor leaguers not named Made or Pena. Or, that could just be the cold medicine talking.
  10. CheeseheadInQC
    Yah, I am a big Martinez fan, but they have so many young infielders. Heck, Ortuno from that same signing class put up similar stats to Martinez a year earlier in their development.
  11. CheeseheadInQC
    Can’t say I am a fan. Was hoping that if there was a top-15 headliner it was going to be one of the first base types. The only way this makes sense is if the Brewers view Ragsdale as a tweener (not ideal defense for center, unlikely to hit enough for a starting corner spot) and don’t think Frias will be able to elevate the ball enough to reach his ceiling.
  12. CheeseheadInQC
    Sadly probably wouldn’t be much different than some of the Brewers deadline bullpen additions over the years.
  13. CheeseheadInQC
    I wonder if they would now be flipped in the rankings. Smith has struggled this year, Hill has seen his K rate drop. Pitre has been playing well, though.
  14. CheeseheadInQC
    They went deeper into Fischer in their recent Brewers specific write-up. They have been more impressed by Burke and Adams at the plate this year. I am guessing Fischer is probably one of the more polarizing guys in the system, and I can understand that. A guy like Payne has the swing and miss but also has more value besides his bat.

    I can’t speak for the thought process of the site owners, but as someone who does website coding work, there is definitely a value to it SEO wise as these articles show up in a section on Google where recency is a big factor (and users can sort by). Also, the fact that the comments appear both attached to the article and in the forum adds complexity to merging them. It is possible to do but it is unlikely to just be a button flip, and divorcing the forum comments from the articles also could make the site appear less popular to people finding it through the articles.

    Good for him! I am claiming this justifies that one Top 25 ballot where I ranked him No. 1.
  17. CheeseheadInQC
    I have seen a couple of articles like that, and part of the problem is they don't acknowledge how trades have changed over the years, both structurally (lack of draft pick compensation for the acquiring team) and experientially (less likely top prospects get traded for a rental). The closest approximation was probably the Scherzer to LA deal, but even then you have to account for the fact Turner with the extra year of control was the more valuable piece. On the other hand, you also rarely get a case like this year where the three best teams in baseball (and most likely bidders) arguably have the three best minor league systems in baseball. It will be fascinating to see where the bidding ends up. I'd place my medium bet on the equivalent of Pena, Dubanewicz and Frontado, but I wouldn't be shocked by more or less either.
  18. CheeseheadInQC
    I wonder if they flipped him and Ibarguen.
  19. CheeseheadInQC
    Bentley, outside of the homers given up, ranked reasonably well among ACL teen pitchers. The other three mid-to-late round prep pitchers, though, really struggled with walks.
  20. CheeseheadInQC
    I guess I just don’t care. If you think he can step in and be a 3 right away with potential to spend most of his team control a 2, that is a top 100 guy even if his age related regression will likely start soon after. A lot of pitching prospects have warts. Henderson was quite rightly a top 100 guy on some lists despite his injury woes. Stuff talks.
  21. CheeseheadInQC
    Ryan didn’t start focusing on pitching until he was 23, was cracking top 100 lists when he debuted in the big leagues less than 3 years later, then got hurt, missed a year-plus, and is back to showing why he was a top-100 guy before the injury. This isn’t someone who stalled out in the minors, then started dominating once he had more experience than the guys he was facing. I was really hoping he would be included back when it looked like the Brewers might deal Burnes to the Dodgers.

    I guess good for Knaak getting the payday, but this might hurt other Clemson players in the long run. It makes them too big of a risk for rounds 3-10 especially.
  23. CheeseheadInQC
    Eh, circumstances sometimes change. Until we know more, it is tough to say much about the decision other than I personally wish it was different.
  24. CheeseheadInQC
    Levonas sounds like they drafted him knowing not signing was a possibility but liked him enough to draft him anyway and just take the pick the next year if he went to college. Knaak is something different.
  25. CheeseheadInQC
    Interesting. I wonder what the story is. My mind immediately went to a higher NIL offer, but raising the offer post-draft would I imagine negatively affect future potential picks from the school, so that would be a dangerous game to play.
