I'm gonna skip it, shocking as that may be

Sent a msg to 4 of them

Yes, the smart brother.

And Bauer will give no f***s.

79 on BA end of season list

The biggest supporter of Trump on this board calls me damn dumb. The irony. Also, Jack Flaherty would look good in a Jay's uniform.

FFS..... I recruited 4 people with solid credentials and they walked away due to board issues

I'm dumb, annoying, and out of touch My wife agrees

I'm ok with BBBB, learning new language could be fun

He might like the giant dispersal fun

Max Fried to me for MiLB 34 Processed on sheet

This is the MiLB/Prospects thread, dude?

Baseball America is very high on Keibert. Ranks him #1 in Dodgers system, ahead of Verdugo. Track Record: Ruiz mainly attracted teams with his defense as an amateur in Venezuela, training at the academy run by former major league shortstop Carlos Guillen. Almost immediately after signing with the Dodgers for $140,000, Ruiz began holding his own against older players. At age 17 he moved to the Rookie-level Pioneer League and hit .354 as the league’s youngest player. At 18 he jumped to full-season ball and hit .316 with an .813 OPS between low Class A and high Class A. And in his age-19 season, as the rare teenaged catcher in the upper levels, Ruiz had the lowest strikeout rate of any hitter in Double-A, hit a career-high 12 home runs and ably handled Tulsa’s high-octane pitching staff. Scouting Report: Ruiz originally intrigued with his glove, but as he has progressed his offense now stands out first and foremost. He is a gifted switch-hitter with excellent timing, bat speed and loose wrists that enable him to manipulate the barrel to all parts of the zone, giving him excellent plate coverage against all types of pitches. He has an aggressive approach and doesn’t walk much, but he stays within the strike zone and rarely swings and misses. Ruiz puts together quality at-bats from both sides of the plate, but he has faster hand speed and more natural lift in his lefthanded swing, resulting in significantly more impact contact from that side of the plate. Ruiz has progressively added strength and increased his home run total every season, now projecting for double-digit homers to go with a plus bat. Ruiz’s defense lags behind his offense but is still advanced for his age and constantly improving. He shows good timing blocking balls, is an above-average—if sometimes inconsistent—receiver and has developed a knack for back-picking baserunners. He has an average, accurate arm that occasionally gets slowed by footwork and transfer issues, but he made strides to clean those up and threw out a career-best 26 percent of basestealers 2018. Ruiz also became more confident handling a staff, from presenting game plans to pitchers to knowing when to take mound visits. The Future: Ruiz’s success on both sides of the ball as a teenager in Double-A makes him the top catching prospect in baseball. His potential as a switch-hitting, middle-of-the-order catcher has him in line to be the next great Dodgers homegrown catcher.

Age catches up to everyone. Trade Pillar before he has no value.

All I know is my go to prospect list has elevated Alford from 109 to 41.

That's what I thought. And he also had hamstring troubles the 1st half of 2018 season. I can't find his 2018 AAA splits but believe he was much improved the 2nd half.

Don't care. 2019 is a write off for the Jays, a development year with Pearson / Pardinho / Groshans / etc getting 1 year closer to MLB. Hope to score some low priced tickets to see Vlad and hope Tulo gets his ring.

I'll be trying to make a deal to get Snell back during the draft, unless we can make a deal now?

He played hurt, apparently. A healthy Alford should regain the 2017 form that made him hit as high as #25 on non-todd prospect lists.

lol, Alford battled injuries through 2018, he's top 20 easily

P2F has some great pitching and Jaysfever some great hitting going into the dispersal....

Don't rain on my parade, man I'm pumped for BORED 2019 to start

Yes, I do. In the CBS sports list, they have my guys Soto, Robles, Adell, Seager, Urias, and Franco.
