Tony Santillan seems to be have a very under the radar great year. What else does he need to do to get on some top 100 lists?

: That’s Reds 2015 2nd rounder who had huge stuff (upper 90s, plus breaker) but was very wild as prep and early as pro. I agree the strike-throwing has been encouraging. Can’t speak for other outlets but he’s close to a 50 FV for us already.

: Touki has taken off a bit this year. I saw reports saying that he wasn’t allowed to use certain pitches in order to work on his changeup. Does that happen a lot with prospects, or is it just certain teams?

: Certain teams are more strict with pitch usage as part of development than others but this type of thing is common to some extent.

: The Padres should not start trading prospects for Archer or Syndergaard right?
