2020-03-06 13:00:00 (link to chat)We are a 33 year old league, 5X5, 15 teams 26 active, 8 reserves, minimum actives: 15 hitters, 8 pitchers. There are no bargains, there are no sleepers, there are no secrets. The winner is usually the guy who can avoid injuries. I do have one idea that might help me: Find a rookie who will come up in June and hit .250 6 HR 30R 30RBI. for my 26th roster spot he will be a stud. He will not be a top 50 prospect. He will be in an organization like Baltimore or SF or any time with a .219 banjo hitter ready to ride the pine -where breaking into the lineup is not a challenge. Where is such a list? Who are these guys?
(pauls121 from Madison WI)
This is a good idea for an article. Top of the head types that fit the bill at each position:
C-Tyler Stephenson
1B-Lewin Diaz
2B-Andy Young
3B-Bobby Dalbec
SS-Willi Castro
OF-Jared Oliva, Daniel Johnson & Anthony Alford (Jesse Roche)
2020-01-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)Thanks for chatting today. It’s always appreciated. How much better of a prospect is Daniel Johnson than Lamonte Wade?
(Ben from CA)
Significantly more upside given the tools profile. Wade was over on days of service, but he might have snuck in somewhere at the back of the Twins list based on upper minors performance and proximity. Limited ceiling here and he strikes me more as a bench outfielder. That might be how Daniel Johnson ends up as well, but there's pop that just isn't in Wade's skill set. (AL Central Top 10 Chat)
2018-04-27 12:00:00 (link to chat)Which prospect have you been most impressed with so far?
(Jeff from Tacoma)
I mean Vlad is the easy answer here, but liked what I saw from Peter Lambert. Change finally showed up in the warmer weather after I filed him, and it's going to be an above-average pitch. Could see him as a backend 101 guy. Ten Pack'd Daniel Johnson and he was fun too, but it's a down EL this year outside of a couple teams. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
2017-09-18 23:00:00 (link to chat)Is there anything of note with Daniel Johnson of the Nats?
(Mike D from Chicago)
Yeah, rally good season for him. He's got a pretty high floor on account of ++ speed, an idea of how to deploy it in CF, and a cannon for an arm. So the offensive performance across a couple A-ball levels was certainly encouraging. The bat speed's there, and there's good present strength with more to come, to where he may push plus raw power at maturity. It's probably going to take some time for the approach and swing to get to a point where that matters against higher-minors pitching, but he'll certainly have every opportunity to develop given the defensive package and raw tools. And for fantasy purposes he's probably worth a flier in deep-enough (>175 prospect) dynasties. (Wilson Karaman)
2017-05-04 13:00:00 (link to chat)How would you rank the non-Victor Robles CFs in the Nats system (Rafael Bautista, Andrew Stevenson, Blake Perkins, Daniel Johnson)?
(Andrew from DC)
I really liked my brief look at Stevenson before his promotion. It's easy to cast him as a fourth outfielder, and that might be where he ends up, but I really liked the hit tool. There might be more there. Johnson probably isn't a center fielder, but the reports on the tools are a bit louder than Perkins, Bautista is MLB-ready, but is your standard-issue speedy bench OF type. So I guess that is my order right now. (Jeffrey Paternostro)
