    Thank you for all you have put into finding info to share across the community!

    Really liked seeing Fangraphs have Sproat & Williams with 50 FV. Possibly means Sproat rivaling Henderson as the top pitching prospect in the system, and Williams being with or ahead of Pratt for future projection. All of course while mourning Peralta leaving. :-(

    All 4 make some sense as solid enough floor guys.
  4. MattK
    Guys, am I right that it is Mo-nays?
  5. MattK
    Ugh. Make a lot of sense, but also a sad thing.

    Special advisor = maybe something, maybe not so much. If he adds, he adds, or he may be gone soon. Interesting sideways way to spend a little $$.

    Love this, Jake, thank you for the analysis! The one I tripped on, so had to check, is that you were saying Made is 19, but I was thinking he is actually 18. So I checked; birthdate May 8, 2007. All this great stuff, and he won't be 19 until early May!

    Echo this completely! The base for more and more talent getting to the majors is in place ...

    Ha! Agreed. I think beginning with the fact that Pratt will just be starting in AAA in the spring, and didn't blow folks away in Biloxi in 2025 ... sorta means this would be premature. Give him that half-season/season to see where he is at.

    Great numbers! I guess I'm confused why the ones we traded away are not calculated for all years combined after leaving the Crew, instead of only for one team. It seems Hader, Grisham, Zach Davies, and Burnes may all be a bit higher ... as an example. I would think that should count, no? Still the Crew well ahead in that trade +/- with excellent numbers.
  11. MattK
    I'll be curious if that is able to continue for the Crew. With Made (and others?) potentially joining Chourio near the top of prospect lists, and Turang, Frelick, Miz(?) (others?) as quality MLBers, will the Crew wind up having a few contacts in that $100MM range in the near term? The high quality prospects are a great cheap resource, but also eventually you have to deal with the fan base having the connection with those players as well. And potential kickback if dealing them after some years.

    Without knowing Yankees thoughts, it is still hard to picture them moving a young high prospect for a reliever, no? I mean, Devin Williams likely had more trade value than Megill does (younger and more accomplished), and Durbin plus someone out of their rotation is not near the value of a 23 yr old who has already been in the majors for a while. With a bunch of potential upside left. Jasson has been so hyped since signing, even for the Yankees, that they will need a name to move him for, even if extraneous.
  13. MattK
    Amen on that! Spencer & Joseph ....
  14. MattK
    No doubt! Phenomenal stuff, here ...

    Sorta funny that I noticed today. Pratt is still age 21. Likely will be starting next season in Nashville due to his D and the system probably wanting Made back at SS in Biloxi. Yet for some reason, probably due to Chourio, Made, and Pena, Pratt seems somehow that he is a disappointment right now. At age 21. With a platinum glove in the minors in his past. Age 21 has him right in line along with Turang as young guys moving through the system at a good pace. And, as ever with these young guys, there are more playing levels they likely will jump yet. I need to stop thinking of him as disappointing. He probably would be the top or second highest prospect in many systems.

    Love the read, thanks Jim! Rodriguez comes at hitters with a pair of mid-90s fastballs, a slider, and a changeup, and can throw any pitch in any count. Manuel is throwing mid 90s? This is something I've not seen noted anywhere. Would think if he actually is throwing that high, he would be a top 100 prospect, though, so guessing it is wrong.
  17. MattK
    Such an interesting thought experiment, guys, thanks! Completely agree that it is tough to judge what sort of return Freddy would receive, given the 1 year of control remaining. That said, the Mets and Stearns paying X or X+ to get him makes easy sense as they likely could feel pretty confident about extending him. For anyone else, for a single season of control, I struggle with any offers which seem more that what the Crew got for Corbin Burnes; 2 AAA players with some questions. A recent 1st round draft pick as only a part of a deal seems steep to me. As a comparison of equivalence, I would not want to deal Fischer AND DL Hall AND a high level minor leaguer with a solid tool (Brock Wilken??) for a single year of a pitcher such as Carlos Rodon, if Rodon was making $8MM next year. Rodon finished roughly where Freddy did in the Cy last year, and has some rough other comparisons. Would I for a single guaranteed year of a pitcher at the Skubal or Skenes level? Yes, so I guess that is my line of comparison. Maybe I'm too high on Fischer. Just unsure a single season of control is enough to deal someone who has long term upside. Of course you only need to find 1 team willing to make a grandfather offer.

    Thanks guys, looking forward to it. I have a Bjorn Johnson question. Where do you think he is at, and what can he become? Being picked the round behind Letson, and a lefty, I had pictured them proceeding together, but obviously they are different pitchers on different paths. Thanks!
  19. MattK
    Funny, got to Minnesota, then thought - well these are interesting reviews but the Crew already had such a highly rated system so they must not have made it. Oh, then they were next. :-)
  20. MattK
    Unsure there would be a role for him beyond 4th OF, weak side of a platoon -- only if Perkins is gone. But as a AAA CF, up and down, maybe something. Love the article, Jack! Showed me some stuff I was not aware of, or thinking of.
  21. MattK
    I always thought the long term plan is Chourio in CF, as he is only 21, and is likely to take a step or two yet defensively. This any time he spends out there is growth time for him. This is great unless it could cost them ballgames in the short term in a tight division/pennant race. If Chourio shows longer term that it isn't going to work or if Mitchell plays there short term and shows it is his best position, that is a different story.

    As a follow-up, I guess that is what I was trying to measure ... a number of these "13th round and on" high schoolers. Especially pitchers. It seems from the stories we hear and such, that sometimes they aren't signable, but then the Crew throws a bunch of $$ at them after a late round selection, and they wind up being signed. How can we in the fan's seats know where their stuff & makeup is at? Could they have been top 4 round guys, but were not determined to be signable - thus were late round gambles? That sorta seems to have been the Crew's style across the past 3 years: find high quality high schoolers who may not sign, and offer a bunch of $$ to sign a few of them. Then they wind up with 4th round talents? Or are they 9th round talents? Is Tobias or Dorchies similar to Bentley? You mentioned Renz, and that is cool. Perhaps this is very difficult to quantify. Or am I way off? And how do we all - as fans - know? Thanks. Maybe this is a podcast question. Or unanswerable.
  23. MattK
    So great that they just have that pitching coaching up and down the system!
  24. MattK
    Thanks guys!
  25. MattK
    Is he around the ballpark of where Meccage was last year, coming in - in terms of his stuff? Probably this is a Spencer question.
