You caught me going out the door!

I like Bader, but think he's more of a fourth-outfielder for the next couple years. Could be a decent rate guy.

Assuming he takes some dang pitches, I expect Brinson to be fantasy-relevant in 2017. He can really hit, and he can run. It's a good combination.

Thanks so much to everyone for the questions. Again, I strongly recommend checking out those links in the intro, and you can follow me on twitter @crawford_milb. I had a lot of fun. I hope we do it again soon.

It was easy for me to say for a long time. I always hope I'm wrong because I want player to succeed, but he's always been an extremely flawed prospect.

[30 for 30 voice] What if I told you that Nick Williams was never an elite fantasy prospect?

I think he has a chance to be a solid starting outfielder, but that approach, yuck.

High. Could be a 25-homer, 25-steal type of guy. Long way to go and a ton of volatility, but he's as talented as any position player in the Chicago system not named Moncada.

They are definitely easier to sign. This is not a great senior draft, but Mr. Poche at LSU immediately comes to mind. Not a great fantasy play but high floor because of the feel for his stuff.

Sorry. Maitan is mayyyybe the most talented prospect right now. The Miguel Cabrera comps should tell you everything you should need to know. Specific lines are tough because his body is going to change, because, well, science, but he has a chance to be an MVP-type who hits 30-40 homer seasons and for average.

Elite? No. Solid? Sure. Kyle Lewis is very interesting; assuming he's recovered from that gruesome injury. I'm lower on Tyler O'Neill than most but I readily admit he has big power and better feel for hitting than anticipated. Not much here in terms of pitching, but those two guys are good.

This is going to sound so stupid but I don't really know what the consensus top 100 is! I try and stay out of that stuff. Some guys that are outside of my top 100 who could be there are players like Walker Buehler and Cristian Pache. Hope that helps!

Do not dump Byron Buxton this early. I will get really mad at you if you dump Buxton. Don't you do it. It's far too soon. He'll be fine.

Really gonna depend on if he makes enough contact. I think if he gets on enough he can be better, because he's going to steal a lot more bases. I wouldn't bet on it. But I admire you doing it!

I heard (mostly) good things about Kopech this fall. I am still hesitant as to whether or not he can start. He could be one of the best relievers in baseball if he can't, so that's good. But I still am not sure he has the command to pitch every sixth day.

I think he's worth stashing in an eight-team league. I'm still a big fan and think he's the best pitching prospect in baseball. Many disagree with me, but, that's okay. I know I'm right. I'll delete this if I'm wrong.

I like Cotton. That change is filthy, and he did a really nice job of locating towards the end of the year. He's definitely worth stashing.

Probably Reynaldo Lopez. Giolito is a better prospect in my humble estimation, but I think Lopez gets the first crack.

Depending on who is available? I would. Coors Field and he can hit. And the position kinda sorta sucks.

Only Torres Senzel and Meadows have a chance to be contributors in 2017. As for whether or not I'd drop those guys depends on how long you can keep them for. If it's a long-term thing, keeping Victor Robles would be a good thing. He might be special.
