[Dr. Dinger]

A player on an MLB DL who is assigned to a minor league club for rehabilitation purposes continues to accrue MLB service time, and does not count against the minor league club's Active Roster.

 

Doesn't matter though, there's no chance of Vlad breaking with the big club unless he signs a long contract before the season.

Ah ok. Thanks. I assumed he won't be on the Opening Day roster but was trying to think of workarounds. For my own mental exercises.

[P2F]

Did he actually win this thing ???

 

Final standing anybody, thanks !

 

The Jays Future needs to wear Shades...

 

Future so Bright ... Here come the Sons !!!

 

Yes, Bo won - second year in a row he's won this event.

[Spanky__99]

That was a very pleasant experience here. Hope to continue surfing in the future.

 

Bot.

[Spanky__99]

Define Future ... when do you see this by

ETA for arrival ???

 

He will be Replacing Alford when ??? Lol

 

Late '20/21 is his ETA. Here's his mid-season write up by Longenhagen...

 

Chavez Young, OF, Toronto Blue Jays

Level: Low-A Age: 21 Org Rank: 25 FV: 40

Line: 2-for-3, 2B, HR, BB, 2 SB

 

Notes

Chavez Young was an old-for-the class high schooler in 2016 who signed for $200,000 instead of heading to a JUCO. He’s had a strong second full pro season, slashing .280/.350/.440 while amassing 45 extra-base hits and 34 steals (though he’s been caught 12 times). Young has above-average raw pull power from the right side of the plate but lacks bat control and is strikeout prone. From the left side his swing is much more dynamic and has allowed his strength-driven gap power to play in games. He’s an average straight-line runner with a plus arm. Young has big-league physical ability and is shedding the “raw” label by performing. If he ends up in a corner outfield spot, his tools will be on the edge of profiling.

What was Adell? How about BP?

 

Adell #10. Dunno about BP, no account.

[Spanky__99]

Holy crap... Kiley and Longenhagen have Lux at 316 rank on THE BOARD. lol

BOARD rankings are several months old though. Being updated over the next month and so.

AA and AAA leagues - lumped them together so lots of juice in this one.

 

"Vladdy's z-score sum from his Eastern League sample is the best score from 2018 from any prospect, in any league, and it's not particularly close."

 

Stap! I can only get so erect.

 

Vlad is the Demiurge among mere Terrans.

I'm aware, that's even mid-season ranks, though.

Jays Top 50 from Prospects 1500.

Patrick Murphy not making the Top 50 is a joke.

Seems pretty random / bad. Not sure how anybody could justify ranking Pentecost, Harris like that.

 

We need to figure out a good method for our list before the season starts.

Warmoth @ 15 was pretty gross too.

[Jimcanuck]

Yes, was gonna say, well regarded draftee ran into injury problems, recovers and has a standout season. Should be top 20

[P2F]

Yeah, it's a pretty terrible list. It has a very outdated feel, like he was going off of early-season scouting reports or something.

 

These evaluators need to be less afraid of moving high-pedigree players down if they struggle. That's not to say that we should completely rule out a major league contribution from a guy like Jon Harris, for example, but these lists need to be more representative of what actually happened than they are. It feels like there's an imbalance of weighted values here. Pedigree should matter less than it does. That's not to say that it doesn't matter, because it does - I believe that what the player did spanning multiple seasons at high school or college should factor in to the equation. But development isn't linear, and sometimes a mechanical tweak can unlock all sorts of goodies from a player that was otherwise completely unheralded in his draft year/signing period (Otto Lopez, Josh Winckowski, etc).

He's going to be this year's Gavin Lux!

Josh's comments on this from a player's perspective were pretty on point imo

[King]

Cotty: Seems like your FV grades are often conservative compared to other publications. Does everyone use the scale the same way you do: pegging it to a future win expectancy?

 

1:13

Kiley McDaniel: Well the term literally was never used on the internet before we used it. And I took it from one of the teams I worked for because it was a foundation in WAR. so I’d generally say the way we use it is the most accurate way

 

 

lol okay

Fangraphs is going down the toilet.

 

Didn't Kiley get hired by a team or something? Maybe he was too much up his own ass for their liking?

IIRC he went to Atlanta and either got turfed or turned tail and GTFO after all the crazy s*** went down with the Maitan penalties. I think Anthopoulos may have cleaned house.

So he went wimpering back to Fangraphs rather than catch on with another team

He was "reassigned" from Assistant Director of Important Stuff to Mid-North-West Coast Sub-Regional Cross Checker of Almost Nothing. I think he must have decided to leave shortly after that.

I agree. People won't believe what he said next.

I know I wouldn't have had I not heard it first hand

You guys remind me of those click bait adds that have a line and say 'YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT???"

Is it because that's literally what Mike said?
