: Hello friends |

: Welcome to Friday baseball chat |

: Hello, friend! |

: Hello friend |
| 9:05 |
: Does Pecota have a glitch where it just automatically projects the Rays to make the playoffs every year? |
| 9:06 |
: Projection systems always tend to be based on something like BaseRuns. According to BaseRuns, the Rays are always at least okay! |
| 12:01 |
: Good morning from Arizona and welcome, esteemed readers. |
| 12:01 |
: Reminder that the top 100 is here: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-top-100-prospects/ |
| 12:01 |
: I’m also here! |
| 12:01 |
: You probably already knew that but, if you haven’t already, read the opening graph of the hundred which might answer a lot of your questions already. |
| 12:02 |
: Okay, let’s begin. |
| 12:02 |
: Acuna listed as CF, his ACTUAL position, but with a 45 present defense? I didn’t buy into the hype from other outlets that suggest he might push Inciarte off of CF, but I haven’t heard anything about him being below average defensively. |
| 12:05 |
: Happy February
|
| 12:06 |
: Not so happy for many unsigned players …
|
| 12:06 |
: Let’s chat …
|
| 12:06 |
: When does the prospect stuff get posted today?
|
| 12:07 |
: A LOT of prospect content this week
|
| 12:07 |
: And I believe there will be several posts today
|

: Hello friends |

: Welcome to Friday baseball chat |
| 9:02 |
: Hello, friend! |
| 9:02 |
: Hello friend |
| 9:02 |
: How is everybody’s morning/afternoon? |
| 9:02 |
: Fine |
| 12:07 |
: Kiley estoy aqui |
| 12:07 |
: When will your top 100 drop? |
| 12:07 |
: Okay schedule is a good place to start here. Just recorded a podcast with Carson but it isn’t up yet so I guess I’ll break some news (?) that the top 100 drops Monday and there will be a whole week of top 100 related content. |
| 12:08 |
: The list is essentially done now, gonna lock it tonight, so I can talk in generalities about some players but don’t want to give too much away. |
| 12:08 |
: And since we’re blowing this out a bit and the Braves list is like 1/2 on the the top 100, that and the Yankees list got pushed back a bit but should both be coming soon after prospect week. |
| 12:09 |
: And sortable 2018/2019/2020 draft rankings drop the next Monday, so it’s a true 7-day week of rankings |
| 12:03 |
: Morning, everyone. Would like to extend condolences to the family and friends of Kevin Towers, who people in baseball held in high regard. |
| 12:03 |
: How is the outlook for Jose Siri? He crushed it last year |
| 12:04 |
: I buy it. Think he’s talented enough to make the approach (which is horrendous) work. |
| 12:04 |
: What would an Atlanta package have looked like to match what the Brewers gave up for Yelich? |
| 12:07 |
: Not sure there’s a clear match on prospect quality/readiness and package depth. Maybe something like Soroka, Anderson, Riley and a 40? |
| 12:07 |
: Do the A’s have a true top of the rotation guy in the minors? Puk is a little wild for that designation I think |
| 12:05 |
: Greetings!
|
| 12:05 |
: Man, there are a still a lot of unsigned free agents …
|
| 12:05 |
: Including 11 of the FG (Dave Cameron) top 20 …
|
| 12:06 |
: Let’s talk it out ..
|
| 12:06 |
: Is Miguel Sano’s “situation” the reason that the Twins haven’t done anything other than signing Addison Reed?
|
| 12:07 |
: Well, the Twins have signed Fernando Rodney and Zach Duke, too …. But wouldn’t Sano’s issues be more reason to kick the tires on, say, Todd Frazier?
|
| 12:56 |
:
|
| 12:02 |
: What’s your take on Ohtani’s cost in ottoneu? I initially put a $20-25 band on him at first pass, but now I’m wondering if I’m at least $10-15 low after reading reports…
|
| 12:02 |
: I dunno. I mean, I’m excited, you’re excited, he just had elbow surgery last year and probably can’t throw more than 150 innings. I think James Paxton level is about right.
|
| 12:02 |
: What’s your favourite type of cheese? Don’t say melted…
|
| 12:03 |
: Just to like, pick up and eat? Emmenthaler, Gruyere — swiss.
|
| 12:03 |
: What’s your snack food of choice?
|
| 2:01 |
: Commence the composition of our baseball quodlibet.
|
| 2:02 |
: Hosmer to San Diego?
|
| 2:03 |
: If this happened? ROFL Padres.
|
| 2:03 |
: At what price point does Cain make sense for the A’s? 3/60?
|
| 2:03 |
: Not sure it’s relaly the best fit. There are contenders that ought to be interested in him.
|
| 2:03 |
: Where do I end up and will I still get $200 million?
|
| 12:03 |
: Hello from sunny Orlando. I am prepared to chat with you. |
| 12:03 |
: Hi Kiley. |
| 12:03 |
: Hi Kiley, |
| 12:03 |
: You guys are so formal, you can just skip to calling me biased next time |
| 12:04 |
: Hi Kiley, what are your thoughts on Cristian Pache’s ultimate offensive ceiling? Thanks! |
| 12:06 |
: He’s an interesting one. I’ve joked that he’s an LSU wide receiver athletically, so almost anything is possible in the long-term. More practically he needs to refine the approach and lift the ball a little more, but he’s also a 70 runner and if doesn’t improve at all he’s something like Kevin Pillar, which may not be what Braves fans want but that’s an everyday guy. |
