Lol the BP 101 Podcast... these guys literally sound like generic Simpsons nerd characters. Holy f***. I can listen to Seidler for 3 seconds and immediately discard his opinion permanently.

Is Sayre on?

Thank god, no.

They're really on Seuly Matias, and nobody else is really talking about him. Crazy that a guy is 75th on a major list and just went undrafted in LoD. He'd probably go 3rd round if the draft started today.

 

I think I drafted him in the LOD back in 2016. I think I might have traded him, but not positive.

Tatis Jr. - 3rd

Barreto - CF

Royce Lewis - CF

C.Kieboom - 3rd

Willie Calhoon - DH

According to FG, Jansen is 2nd best catcher prospect in baseball. And 2nd best only by a few spots, impressive.

 

Maybe we have the next JPA on our hands... Joking.

The warning signs were there for Arencibia. His strikeout rate in the minors was absurdly high.

His K rates in the minors were fine (and a lot better than some of the hot prospects today). The problem was when he reached the majors, he decided he had to pull everything and walks were the devil.

You mean the guy who's better than Yadi but never got any recognition?

This is true. The biggest flag was he had to repeat AAA as a 24 year old before anyone noticed him. He didn't hit like a good prospect in AA or AAA as a 22 or 23 year old unless counting stats are your thing.

Doesn't hurt to have it here too but it was posted and discussed a bit in the top 100 lists thread.

So they really love Jansen. All about dem glasses!

FanGraphs had such a boner-inducing write-up of Nate Pearson:

 

Pearson came almost out of nowhere at a low-profile Florida junior college, going from unknown to a first-round pick in less than a year, fueled by a dazzling pre-draft bullpen for scouts where he sat in the high-90s and hit 100 mph. At his best, Pearson looks like a front-of-the-rotation monster, with a sturdy frame, long stride, powerful delivery, and triple-digit heat, to go with a slider and changeup that have flashed 60 at their best. On the other hand, there’s risk with hard throwers — especially those with new velocity — and Pearson has had control issues ever since his velocity spiked. He’s trending in the right direction, with his best appearances coming in May and June just before the draft, followed by a strong pro debut. Pearson has possibly the widest variance of potential outcomes of any player on this list.

And if you are behind the times, you are still selling this in book form!!!!

 

 

I know some people love to have them and I wish I had some earlier ones (I think I have 6 or 7...which is pretty much my entire book collection), but all info is available on their site.

Holy crap Vlad is f***ing fat.

 

To be fair, of all the reasonable poses they could have put him in, that one was pretty much the worst possible.

 

Even Ichiro might look fat in that pose.

It's certainly not ideal, I was just saying that the pose was an extremely poor choice.
