It's that time of year again! Show off your prospects!

I'm lame and am not using any top 100 list. I'm just putting the XXX-1st guys on my roster in order of how I rate them.

1. Diego Cartaya - It's been a long time since I've had a young, good catcher in my system. Some are saying he could be a number 1 overall prospect in a few years. We'll see. Either way, I'm excited that I chose him over Ivan Herrera a couple of years ago when I was debating between the two.
2. Brennan Davis - Hoping that he can somehow stick in center, but even if not, this guy is legit.
3. Matt Manning - Still a rookie in NSBL, and will remain one for at least another year. Here's hoping he becomes a legit 2/3 starter this year in RL.
4. Harry Ford - Not expecting him to stick at catcher, but he's athletic enough to be at least a neutral defender somewhere, and the bat is real.
5. Xavier Edwards - My hope of him sticking at SS seems to be dashed, but he should provide some good positional flexibility.
6. Edwin Uceta - Has a lower ceiling than a few below him, but a higher/safer floor. Should be a solid reliever for a few years in the sim, starting in 2022.
6. Jackson Rutledge - The wheels fell off last year. Can he get back on track? Big year for him.
7. Matt Fraizer - Should be a solid platoon guy as soon as 2023 in the sim... I hope.
8. Peyton Battenfield - Never count out a Cleveland pitcher.
9. Austin Hendrick - The wheels really fell off this guy last year. Not sure he has the skills to get back on track, but the raw power is still there.
10. Daniel Cabrera - Had higher hopes for him when I drafted him. Looking like a ceiling of a 4th OF'er.
11. Andrew Abbott - Not getting looked at as much of anything, anymore. Still, a solid K/BB rate last year, so maybe he can become a back end starter, which is his likely ceiling.

Sort of a ranking, sort of just throwing them out there. More prospects on the roster now to build for the future than I've had before. Hopefully some guys can keep building on last year, and a couple can return from injury to produce to their ceiling.

I'm too cheap to pay for any of the subscription services, but I am happy with the number of prospects I have sitting on the roster. Should be able to get a couple of All-Stars out of the group that includes:

Catcher
MJ Melendez

Infield
Michael Busch
Wilman Diaz
Jake Burger
Jose Salas
Ji-Hwan Bae
Terrin Vavra
Arol Vera
Colson Montgomery

Outfield
Julio Rodriguez
Josh Lowe
Everson Pereira
Evan Carter
Colin Barber

My pitching prospects have taken a hit over the last couple of years, in large part due to chasing the WS in 2020. Gone are:

Aaron Ashby
Jose Urquidy
Dinelson Lamet
DL Hall
Asa Lacy

Coming up short of the WS in 2020 was a killer. The best of the pitching prospects are:

Reese Olson
Nick Bitsko
Ryan Rolison
JT Ginn
Thomas Szapucki
Tucker Davidson

Also hoping the Giants can work some of that 2021 pitching magic with Tristan Beck, Seth Corry and Joe "Overdraft" Palumbo.

None are throw away prospects (yet) but no one with TOR potential either.

1. Tyler Soderstrom – C – Could be one of the next great all around hitters in baseball. Probably changes position.
2. Dylan Crews – OF – Still the favorite to be the first college player off the board in the 2023 MLB Draft.
3. Joe Ryan – P – Already ready. Will be in the Twins rotation.
4. Nick Yorke – 2B – Forgotten about so he slipped to me last year. Improved as the year went on.
5. Mick Abel – P – Higher upside than Ryan, but Ryan is already doing it in the majors.
6. MacKenzie Gore – P – Highest upside pitcher I have if he can keep his mechanics working.
7. James Kaprelian – P – Already in the majors. Maybe a 2nd season will convince Zips.
8. Eric Lauer – P – Been around for years, but finally got usable Zips.
9. Joey Bart – C – Probably not the next Buster Posey like I had hoped. I should have taken Mize.
10. James Wood – OF – Huge power bat and runs like a gazelle. Padres are big on him.
11. Brandon Pfaadt – P – Winter pick. Looks to be a late bloomer.
12. Spencer Howard – P – Can’t count him out yet.
13. Cole Wilcox – P – Tommy John.
14. Josh Baez – OF – Another huge power bat in the OF. I trust STL to get the most out of him.
15. Niko Kavadas – HRs – Schwarber clone.
16. Joey Wentz – P – Missed time due to injury. Should be healthy this year.
17. Izaac Pacheco – 3B – More power. If he makes enough contact, he’ll reach the majors.
18. Matt Mikulski – P – Let’s see what the Giants can do with him.
19. Anthony Servideo – SS – Let’s see if his draft year power shows back up. Hope he stays healthy in 23.
20. Kevin Made – SS – Who knows.
21. Spencer Jones – LHP/1B – Big time recruit who went to college. Injured for most of first two years.
22. Joe Rizzo – 3B – Bench player in the long run if his path continues.
23. Mason Denaburg – P – Has missed most of the last 3 years, but was a 1st round pick.

Everyone else is on the chopping block if they don’t show me something this year.

Now the draft is completed, this gives me another opportunity to procrastinate studying for midterms.

Here is how my farm system currently stands.

cf. Andy Pages: Big power, solid approach, has a chance to stay in CF.
rhp. Eury Perez: Huge kid had a breakout last season, could be one of the best prospects in baseball soon.
c. Ivan Herrera: Seems like a safe bet to be Yadi's replacement.
ss. Matt McLain: Good approach up the middle, has tools, but how loud are they?
rhp. Matt Canterino: Injuries have slowed down his development and has additional RP risk.
of. Owen Caissie: Very raw, but has big time power and ability to get to it easy.
rhp. Matt Brash: Another breakout guy, wicked stuff, could be a solid SP in the majors soon.
rhp. Luis Gil: Big RP risk, but his fastball is electric, if he can get his command tightened up he could be a solid #3 SP.
rhp. Chris Rodriguez: Injuries have plagued him his entire career, was great in his brief stint with the Angels. Out for the season (agian), but ZIPS is high on him.
of. Alexander Canario: Big raw power, but over aggressiveness could be his downfall.
c. Bryan Lavastida: Toolsy catcher, great approach, another breakout guy last season.
lhp. Adam Macko: Big curveball and got a velocity bump last season, still very raw.
lhp. Ethan Elliot: Pitchability over stuff guy, could be helping out the Padres this season, hopefully in the rotation.
1b. Juan Yepez: ZIPS love the kid, lost weight, got jacked, and it seemed to unlock his game.
3b. Deyvison De Los Santos: Incredibly raw, but not many 18 year olds have his power. Absolute lottery ticket.
2b. Rodolfo Castro: Good defender up the middle, good power, but approach is too aggressive.
cf. Mickey Moniak: Former #1 overall pick is looking like a fourth outfielder.
rhp. Eddy Yean: Still very young, but his command issues were exposed last season.
c. Mario Feliciano: Big power for a catcher but another guy whose over aggressiveness has been exposed and slowed by injuries.
of. Micker Adolfo: Another big power bad discipline guy who has been slowed down by various injuries.
of. Tirso Ornelas: Good approach but raw power > game power, maybe he taps into it more this season.
ss. Julio Carreras: Really struggled last season as a 22 year old in low-a.
rhp. JB Bukauskas: MRP prospect at this point.
rhp. Hector Perez: Not even a prospect at this point.

Guys who are still XXX but are not technically prospects anymore

ss. Andres Gimenez: Power, speed, defense combo up the middle. Should be the Guardians long-term shortstop.
3b. Isaac Paredes: Great approach and discipline, should be fine at 3B even if he only hits 15 bombs.
rhp. Brandon Bielak: Pitchability over stuff guy, was much better as a multi-inning RP for the Astros than a SP.
lhp. Justus Sheffield: Stuff is still good, but needs results. Curious how he would perform in the pen.
rhp. Justin Dunn: He is all over the place, was he wildly effective, or just lucky? Another guy who is in a big prove it year.
1b. Ronald Guzman: Dominated ST last season with a swing change, people where high on him coming into the season, but missed the year with a knee injury.
rhp. Peter Lambert: Not sure a Rockies pitchability over stuff guy who can't stay healthy is a successful recipe.
of. Travis Demeritte: Utility guy/AAAA player at this point.

I'm happy with the depth of my system. I don't have any blue chip prospects at the moment, but I feel confident a couple of these guys could get there soon. Also proud that I have drafted everybody listed here, with Micker Adolfo and Travis Demeritte being the two exceptions.

Now back to reality

your mom.

That has been said about many catching prospects whose names are now forgotten. Yadi is like Rasputin, he ain't so easy to take out.

KC’s chimes in with its now less impressive prospect list

1. Hunter Greene - the wait may be worth it. Still stings I passed on Tatis
2. Francisco Alvarez - best C pick of the great Catcher Winter Draft of 2019
3. Luis Medina - the Big question - will his BB ever drop?
4. Steven Kwan -can’t believe I went GRINDR and he shows up on FG Top 100
5. Reginald Preciado - Hate that he’s on the Cubs, but.., REGGIE, REGGIE!
6. Travis Swaggerty - Can catch it. Will he hit? Stay tuned….
7. Simeon Woods-Richardson - would have been more fun if I had traded him for Semien
8. Ken Waldichuk - Chucks it hard and someone tried to draft him like 80 picks later, so maybe I was high (on him)
9. Hudson Head - my jokes about getting Head suck now that Logan Webb is awesome
10. Miguel Hiraldo - looking forward to his 3 year pre-ARB career in KC
11. Noah Miller - went to HS like 10 miles from me. Sweeter hair than swing
12. AJ Vukovich - went To HS in the next town over from where I did. Last name means a lot in the Milwaukee area
13. Ryan Murphy - hoping he turns into a Zips darling
14. Hyun-Il Choi - I think Longenhagen had a nice blurb about him the day I picked.

The former super highly rated dudes who are now not so much, but maybe we can wait to see what they turn into because this is supposed to be fun
1. Carter Stewart - Japan superstar?
2. Riley Pint - former #3 pick, now has a mustache
3. Nander de Sedas - had to transfer from Fla St to…..Missouri

Dudes I moved this off-season that would have made this look better (but helped me now)
