| 2020-08-14 14:00:00 (link to chat) | What kind of numbers are we looking at during peak years for Adley Rutschman and Spencer Torkelson? C and 1B are very very weak positions... are Bart and Vaughn even close to these guys? (George from South Bend) | Rutschman: .295/.400/.520/25/0
Torkelson: .290/.370/.550/35/0 Bart is not particularly close to Rutschman. At least a grade gap in hit tool with less on-base ability. I see Bart as a .260/.320/.485/25/0 bat. Vaughn, on the other hand, is neck-and-neck with Torkelson (they are back-to-back in our rankings for a reason). I think Vaughn has a slightly better hit tool with slightly less power than Tork.

| 2020-05-15 13:00:00 (link to chat) | What do you think about Hunter Bishop's upside and chances that he gets to it? (sykklone from IA) | Bishop has massive upside. My peak projection in my Ceiling-Only Top 101 is .260/.350/.490/30/15. He has huge power with playable speed on the bases. All about whether he will make enough contact. I wrote this about Hunter Bishop back in January:
The younger brother of Braden Bishop, a speedy outfielder for the Mariners, Hunter has the same plus speed and high-end athleticism. However, the comparisons end there. He inherited nearly all the power in the Bishop family. His large, 6-foot-5 frame generates easy double-plus raw power to all fields. Until this past year, though, Bishop and his long levers struggled to make quality and regular contact. He hit just .242/.362/.381 with a 30.2 percent strikeout rate in 2018 between college and the Cape Cod League. A mechanical adjustment at the plate allowed Bishop to more regularly tap into his raw power and make more consistent contact. As such, he enjoyed a massive breakout performance during his junior year (.342/.479/.748), pacing teammate and potential 2020 first-overall pick Spencer Torkelson at the plate. During his brief debut between the Arizona and Northwest Leagues, he flashed power (307.7-foot estimated fly-ball distance, .200 ISO), speed (eight stolen bases in 32 games), and patience (26 percent walk rate). Despite his progress, Bishop continues to suffer from an elevated swing-and-miss, partly due to his size, swing length, and, at times, passive approach. Further, he lacks much of a track record of success against advanced pitching, and he faltered a bit in Pac-12 Conference play (.269/.395/.529). Nevertheless, few prospects possess his combination of game-changing power and impact speed. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-05-15 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Last year, I heard that draft class was weak, basically 6 good players, but this year's draft was supposed to be the best draft in 9 years. Now I don't see any player grading higher than Adley and maybe more depth, but not a better top 6, so is this due to loss of development time or players regressed? (brad14 from NJ) | Last year was an excellent fantasy draft at the top (the top 5 are all top 30 dynasty prospects for us), but it lacked much depth and it had weaker pitching talent than many drafts. This upcoming class is stacked in pitching talent, from college to prep arms. Plus, it contains a few top-50 dynasty prospect bats in Spencer Torkelson, Austin Martin, and Nick Gonzales. This draft is lauded due to the aforementioned pitchers and the depth throughout. I agree that the very top of this class is not as good as 2019. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-03-13 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Who are your top 10 prospects for 2021 first year player drafts? So basically, the guys that will be taken in this year's MLB draft. Craig told me to ask you. (Brent from Tacoma) | 1) Spencer Torkelson, 1B, ASU
2) Austin Martin, IF, Vanderbilt 3) Nick Gonzales, 2B, New Mexico State 4) Tetsuto Yamada, 2B, NPB (assuming posting) 5) Seiya Suzuki, OF, NPB (assuming posting) 6) Garrett Mitchell, OF, UCLA 7) Emerson Hancock, RHP, Georgia 8) Blaze Jordan, 1B/3B, HS 9) Zac Veen, OF, HS 10) Heston Kjerstad, OF, Arkansas Others of note include the Cuban defectors (Pedro Leon and Oscar Colas); Jordan Walker, 3B, HS; Austin Hendrick, OF, HS; Casey Martin, SS, Arkansas; Asa Lacy, LHP, Texas A&M; and even Zach DeLoach, OF, Texas A&M. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-03-09 12:00:00 (link to chat) | If Spencer Torkelson, Austin Martin, Pedro Leon and Oscar Colas were in the minors, about where would they rank in terms of top prospects? Can you offer any comps for each of them? Thank you. (John from Florida) | I try not to deal with the Cuban guys until we have them signed with some pro looks because of the usual playing time gap (more of an issue for Leon than Colas). Martin and Torkelson we both already have live reports on. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/article/57486/wednesday-morning-ten-pack-mlb-draft-prospects/
Both are strong candidates to go 1.1 and I'd expect both to be Top 25ish next year assuming median draft/development paths for bot. (Jeffrey Paternostro) |
| 2020-03-06 13:00:00 (link to chat) | If Spencer Torkelson, Austin Martin, Pedro Leon and Oscar Colas were in the minors, about where would they rank in terms of top prospects? Can you offer any comps for each of them? Thank you. (John from Florida) | As an initial matter, comps are a dangerous path to take, but why not!
(1) Spencer Torkelson, top-30 prospect, rough comp: Pete Alonso (2) Austin Martin, top-50 prospect, rough comp: Ketel Marte (3) Pedro Leon, top-150 prospect (4) Oscar Colas, top-200 prospect I do not feel comfortable even offering a comp for the Cubans. Leon lacks much size (5-foot-9), but offers some pop, speed, and arm strength. Colas has big power and a big arm, but not a lot else. His performance in Japan was in the Western League, which is basically the NPB minors. I get Julio Pablo Martinez vibes from Leon for whatever reason. I am suspicious of both until we get more concrete information. (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-02-21 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Dynasty keeper league....available farm guys are Jasson Dominguez, D. Carlson, S. Howard, G. Rodriguez, Torkelson, Hancock, Austin Martin, Bleday, R. Greene. Please rank...Thanks (Mr. Fister from Arlington) | Open universe!
(1) Dylan Carlson, (2) Jasson Dominguez, (3) Spencer Torkelson, (4) Austin Martin, (5) Emerson Hancock, (6) J.J. Bleday, (7) Spencer Howard, (8) Riley Greene & (9) Grayson Rodriguez (Jesse Roche) |
| 2020-02-07 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Would you trade a projected top-5 FYPD pick in 2021 for the right to move up from #7 to #5 this year to take JJ Bleday? Ottoneu-style points dynasty, not roto. (Dansby from Atlanta) | No, I would not. The top 5 of the 2020 class should be stacked with the likes of Spencer Torkelson, Emerson Hancock, Austin Martin, and Nick Gonzales, all of which should be strong Ottoneu performers. Presumably, another player or two will separate themselves from the pack and round out the top of what should be a strong and deep draft class. I also would hazard a guess that Bleday falls to you at 7, and, if he does not, then you have your pick of Abrams, Witt, Carroll, or Greene, several of which I prefer to Bleday in Ottoneu.
