I too like allard. For some reason, I thought you were down on him too
No...I think he can be a solid major league starter even at 90 mph. Secondary pitches and pitcher's brain count for a lot.
Noticed the big drop for Wright. Maybe deserving too.
Wright has to have fallen a bit with his mediocre performance in AA, no matter what he might be working on or how bad the umps are.
Riley has to be considered the best position prospect, even with his K issues early in AAA.
I'm also removing Fried and Minter from consideration for prospect lists. Gohara should also probably be removed, so I'll go to 11.
1. Soroka 55
2. Gohara 55
3. Wright 55
4. Riley 50/55
5. Pache 50/55
6. Anderson 50
7. Allard 50
8. Touki 50
9. Wentz 50
10. Stewart/Gorman/Swaggerty/Kelenic 50
11. Waters 45/50
No more stars (though Pache has a chance at star upside), but plenty of average or better MLB players in there to keep the window of contention open.
I've been a little lower on Wright than most around here. But yes, I've lowered him some.
The climbers on my list this year have been Wilson and Waters. Wentz dropped out of my top 10. He seems to be carrying an injury and he is another one I wasn't as high on as some others around here.
I think what remains on the farm is not as high upside obviously as the group that has graduated to the majors. But we have some depth and I think one obvious direction might be to consider some quantity for quality trades. For example, pair Teheran with a pitching prospect for a better major league pitcher. I don't think we'll do this until the off-season, but the pieces to make those kinds of trades are there.
Pache?
Where is maitin on everyone’s list
