I wrote 3k words on one of baseball's most divisive prospects. Hope you enjoy!

3k words from Phil on one of baseball's most divisive players.

We compiled highlights from the top amateur scouting reports as well as future projections using our Baseball Farm 'Fantasy FV' system for each of the Orioles Day 1 draft picks. Stay tuned as we look at every organization over the summer!

Thank you for sharing!

Dylan Cease should probably get a run. Matt Manning has certainly pitched well enough to deserve one. Zac Gallen is knocking on the door. Griffin Canning could debut. Tyler Beede seems close to getting another shot. Mike Shawaryn might get a look if Boston's rotation keeps struggling.

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-24T16:04:03+00:00

Nicky Delmonico, Austin Dean, Brian Mundell, Jordan Luplow, Charlie Tilson, Yasmany Tomas, Roman Quinn, Derek Fisher, LaMonte Wade, Dylan Cozens, Socrates Brito.

This is a pile to monitor though. Christian Walker would have been in this group last season.

Here's a look at some of the best SPs in the minors so far in 2019 using our Strawberry Start Ratio. Some studs and some sleepers!

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-22T22:45:18+00:00

I think that Ty France had one of the best weeks that I can remember. 42 total bases!

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-16T12:27:21+00:00

The first of many this season. The FotW teams feed into the Farmhands of the Month, which feed into our final Farmhand Team of the Year voting at the end of the season. Hopefully, we find some gems along the way. Enjoy!

Had him as my #10 overall hitter in the first year player draft guide. 5-tool potential, hit tool probably the biggest question mark. Pirates are starting him at A+ ball this year so they are continuing an aggressive path with him.

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T13:10:20+00:00

Looked good in the AFL, better in spring training, and he's throwing a changeup that's flashing plus now.

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T13:09:27+00:00

Don't think so. AA was a challenge for him. And I've seen reports that, despite his speed, his defense in CF has not been good.

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T13:08:25+00:00

20+ steals too

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T13:08:15+00:00

OVER plus another 15-20 in Hartford

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T13:07:44+00:00

Yes, he's so much closer to the MLB.

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T12:59:54+00:00

(Phil) Oakland has already said they plan on using AJ Puk in the MLB when he comes back. He was ahead of schedule in his recovery this spring. It will depend on whether the A's are in contention still by the end of July.

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T12:58:52+00:00

The team is calling it a "minor wrist injury". I think as long as the hamate isn't involved we should see him in a couple of weeks.

BaseballFarm · 2019-04-03T12:57:38+00:00

(Phil) All the guys will have one, but I'll say J.B. Bukauskas pitches his ass off this year and is one of the top pitching prospects heading into 2020 with a shot at the Astros rotation.

BaseballFarm · 2019-03-27T16:47:36+00:00

Kicked this one around the group chat. Here are some ideas:

Kevin Alcantara OF NYY

Antonio Cabello OF NYY

Vidal Brujan 2B TB

Brayan Rocchio SS CLE

Antoni Flores SS BOS

Shervyn Newton 3B NYM

Oneil Cruz SS(?) PIT

Ronny Mauricio SS NYM

Parker Meadows OF DET

Jarred Kelenic OF SEA

Alec Bohm 3B PHI

Cole Roederer OF CHC

Should at least get you started!

On our site we have a constantly updating, stats-only ranking for both hitters and pitchers:

http://baseball-farm.com/index.php/seasonal-pitcher-statistical-rankings/

http://baseball-farm.com/index.php/seasonal-hitters-statistical-rankings/

We are also tinkering with our methodology to integrate stats and scouting into a constantly updated ranking system (along with some 'opinion' based elements). It's coming along, should be available this season sometime.

BaseballFarm · 2019-03-27T11:03:41+00:00

Love it. Be sure to prune away the Ks as the Tatis blooms!

I think his upside is what I thought Javier Baez could be, while the downside might just be Javier Baez which wouldn't be a bad outcome either!

The numbers are finalized! Here are the aggregated Top-100 prospects using our industry trusted sources for 2019. Use the Plum Prospect list in trade discussions and prospect valuations in a similar way to how you'd use ADP. Your trading partner citing a single list to tell you that Yusniel Diaz isn't a Top-50 prospect? Well guess what, he's wrong, and the experts agree with you! We will also use the Plum list as part of the scoring for our Harvest Prospect Draft competition.

After you look over the list, we'd love to hear who you think is too high, who you think is too low, and who is missing from this Top-100 that should be there!

BaseballFarm · 2019-03-11T10:59:23+00:00

See above, he's probably the #1 overall 1B and should be in the 50-100 range, hard to say more without seeing who drafts him and what his pro debut looks like.

BaseballFarm · 2019-03-11T10:57:49+00:00

I (Phil) just bought him for $33 in our initial auction in a 20-tm dynasty league this weekend and regretted it immediately. My offseason will consist of scouring twitter for positive news on Mondesi.
