(Enrique from Unknown) | I like SWR fine, and he'd probably have made a Top 150 or thereabouts. The stuff isn't quite as good as the stat line and we think he has more reliever risk than the arms towards the back of the 101. I doubt anyone outside of the Mets and Jays orgs saw him more than our Sally guys this year and there wasn't a strong push to get him on the list, although the difference between him and say Alek Manoah isn't as large as the numerical gap.

| 2019-12-09 13:00:00 (link to chat) | I have it in my head that Jackson Rutledge and Alek Manoah are basically the same guy, so just wondering if you have a preference and why?
(Juan2332Juan from LIDOM) | I get the comp. I prefer Manoah's amateur track record and polish, and there's maybe a touch more fastball, but we are talking 50 or spots on the 101 and not at a part of the list where it's a huge gap. (Washington Nationals Top 10 Chat) |
| 2019-11-13 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Thoughts on Alek Manoah? Specifically his command profile and third pitch? I saw a bit of him at WVU on ESPN and thought he screamed reliever, although the fastball slider combo is extremely good.
(someguynamedkenn from Central NJ) | Yeah, they are issues. The third pitch and average command requirement for starters can be a bit of managing to the press conference in the prospect world, and the sport is moving more towards throw your best stuff as much as possible. It's a durable frame and he was a bit of a workhorse, but the ACC (or whatever conference WVU is in now, I can barely keep track) ain't pro ball, so we will see if he can turn over a lineup multiple times. I think there will also come a point where you are just tempted to make him a quick-moving late-inning guy if he does scuffle, because the fastball/slider combo is that good.
