I noticed George Kirby got pushed down. For college pitchers like Kirby, do you view them as needing a pretty linear upward improvement like Meyer to stay on top 101 discussions? Lacy comes to mind as well.
Thanks!

(coffeeguy8806 from PDX) | He more or less held steady for us in the 20s. I think he's potentially the next tier up among pitching prospects but given the way the Mariners used him (and all their prospect arms really) it's hard to go full throttle until we see him approaching something more like a normal workload.

| 2021-03-26 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who are some position players and pitchers who you could see jumping up into your top 30 dynasty prospect rankings for next year? Who could move up the rankings fast?
(Bob May from Louisville) | For each, I'd say anyone in the top 50 could jump into the top 30 so I'll keep the answer to outside of top 50 with the most upside.
Position players: Luis Matos (54), Jordyn Adams (69), Orelvis Martinez (71), the IFAs (Diaz, Colmenarez & Hernandez)
Pitchers: Asa Lacy (52), Shane Baz (60), Max Meyer (61), George Kirby (76), Hunter Greene (101) (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-09-04 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I'm emerging from a 3 year rebuild in a deep 15 team dynasty (roto 6x6 obp, slg, holds, 1 catcher, 20 minors spots per team) and have been offered George Kirby + 1st rounder in the FYP draft for Will Smith. Am I crazy not to take it? I've heard he's added velo this year, but what kind of upside do you see from kirby in SEA?
(Capital.frock from HongKong) | One catcher definitely makes Will Smith less valuable in dynasty, so I'd always listen to offers. I like Kirby a decent bit. He had the reputation of "strike-thrower" coming into the draft, and he hasn't really done anything to dispel that. He reminds me a little of Shane Bieber in that way - though I'm not saying he'll turn into Bieber by any stretch. I think Kirby could be a solid SP4, with a handful of SP3 seasons.
It sort of depends where the 1st rounder might land, but Kirby + a top 30ish prospect seems like a decent enough return, but I wonder if you might be able to do better by putting Smith on the block for everyone to bid. (Mark Barry) |
| 2020-03-18 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What's a good comp for George Kirby's high-end outcome?
(Neil from seattle) | I checked in with Jeffrey because I am terrible at comps, and he suggested Jack Flaherty, potentially. (Craig Goldstein) |
| 2019-10-25 12:00:00 (link to chat) | Do you care about George Kirby? Should I care about George Kirby? What should I like about George Kirby, other than his last name?
(Jon from Warshington) | He's a polished college arm with a plus fastball and some projectable secondaries. Sometimes these guys turn into plus starters, sometimes they are like Braden Shipley. Time will tell. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
