| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2020-04-13 12:00:00 (link to chat) | BP seems to be higher than most on Kyle Muller. Do you think he stays in the rotation? Or do you think it's more likely that he becomes a high-end bullpen arm and maybe you just value that more than other sites? TIA! (Enrique from Texas) | When stuff like this happens with a Braves prospect it’s usually because David Lee liked him a lot when he saw him and this is the case here. It’s mostly based off a rotation projection, yes. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2020-01-27 13:00:00 (link to chat) | You guys seem to be the most conservative on Brailyn Marquez. I realize he's a pitching prospect, but is Kyle Muller (another big LH, big FB pitcher) really that much better in your view? (Jim from Chicago) | We might be low here on Marquez, we just wanted to see a longer run as the second half, capital "d" Dude before we push the chips in. FWIW, Jarrett predicted on the pod that he had a great shot at being one of the best pitching prospects in baseball when we publish our 2021 list (Top 101 Prospects Chat) |
| 2020-01-27 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Kyle Muller is quite a bit higher than I expected given his control issues. Do you see him putting it together? (MK from Houston) | I've learned to listen to David Lee, and he's been a big Muller booster for a while. The control issues are more of a blip in the overall track record, although he has some "tall lefty" delivery issues, but the stuff is so good it won't have to come together all that much. (Top 101 Prospects Chat) |
| 2019-06-07 12:00:00 (link to chat) | youve had a few months to look back- which prospect in your top 101 are you kicking yourself for ranking too high? and too low? (chad from DE) | So I've been sketching out a first draft of the Midseason 50, which is a good way to frame this I suppose. Honestly most of the guys that have made big moves one way or the other are health related (Whitley, Luzardo, Abreu), swing change related (Kelenic, Gimenez), or other not necessarily foreseeable stuff in November. I would say the two that jump out at me are Wander Franco, who I probably should have pushed a little higher (although almost everyone above him is now at least a decent regular and he's in the Midwest League) and Kyle Muller (always listen to David Lee about Braves prospects basically) (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2019-05-31 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Hi JP. 2 questions: Any tips on under the radar SP in the high minors w/2/3 upside? Already have gallen. Second, what are your thoughts on Zach Plesac? (pats1124 from Durham, NC) | Not to be glib, but I'm not sure there are under-the-radar guys in the upper minors with that kinda upside. The internet community has gotten so much better at this stuff. Maybe a guy like Kyle Muller? Tony Santillan? I still don't think Brusdar Graterol or Ian Anderson get enough love. As far as Zach Plesac is concerned, he's interesting because the velocity ticked up significantly. I'm skeptical of his ability to stick in the rotation because he lacks a true breaking ball, and straight fastball/changeup guys don't have a great recent track record in the big leagues. (J.P. Breen) |
| 2019-04-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Kyle Muller is looking like the real deal. Top 100 spec? (Andy from PA) | Early reports had the velocity ticking up to the upper 90s and that is certainly relevant. The thing about asking whether a guy is a top 100 guy is that at any given time there are about 150 or so top 100 type guys. So sure, you can put him in that mix, but it's also April 17 and that'll change. But he has the ingredients. (Craig Goldstein) |
| 2019-04-17 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Logan Gilbert's velocity is where many of us expected and he's carving hitters up. He's a top 100 prospect for sure now yes? (Phil from Washington) | This goes back to the Kyle Muller answer, btw. Sure, he's in that mix, but let's collect some more data points before annointing anyone. (Craig Goldstein) |
| 2019-02-06 21:00:00 (link to chat) | Was Kyle Muller close to making the list with his apparent increased velocity? (The Special Prosecutor from Bangkok) | Not really, no. There are just so many pitchers and only so much hate to go around. -BS (Dynasty 101 Chat w/ Ben Carsley and Bret Sayre) |
