Martin is one of the premier defensive catchers in the world. I'm sure there's nothing Thole can do that he cant.

I like Owings a bit, he's got some power. Could be a 15/15 guy in that park and should stick at SS, and maybe be a multi position dude.

Damn, 50% from downtown is nuts. It seems like Korver has been around forever smoking treys.

When did we get Korver?

How could I forget?! They were delicious!

I only bought Nash because I was busy eating those chicken fingers and he was one of the few names I recognized.

Hey buddy. Remember when you and noxema laughed at me for spending $50 on Rick Nash, and then you spent $51 on Hiller? Midnight in Parise is back for another ring, suckas!

While he's trading superstars for s***** returns and releasing Kris Medlen, can we go ahead and poach Kimbrel?

150 is probably pushing it unless he BABIPs .370+ again. He does hit a ton of liners though, so he'll usually have a pretty high BABIP. Still love him as a fantasy asset.

Freddie Freeman's RBIs are going to tank, but his OBP is going to be sublime.

The Markakis signing is just completely mystifying in light of the Upton/Gattis/Heyward trades. No idea what Hart is doing.

Folty is a reliever and Ruiz is a 2nd division/utility guy. Lol.

I feel bad for the GM that takes over for John Hart. What is the point of tearing down a roster before the new GM is hired? You're tying him or her to a slew of young assets that he had no say in acquiring.

Gattis playing full time at RC would have a shot at 40 HR. I can dream, but it doesn't appear we're in play for him. We'd probably just turn around and trade him for Frank Francisco anyway.

Because this one can ostensibly play C now and then.

Apparently 3 teams are in heavy pursuit. He'd actually be a great fit for the Jays, taking reps at LF/C/DH/1B.

Gattis undergoing physical for the Astros DH ABs baby! Napoli 2.0

In LOD? I can't remember. I have two shares of Mejia, so I doubt I'll regret it in any case.

Behind Soler, ahead of Schwarber.

9. Bobby Bradley Position: 1B DOB: 05/29/1996 Height/Weight: 6’1” 225 lbs Bats/Throws: L/R Drafted/Acquired: 3rd round, 2014 draft, Harrison Central HS (Gulfport, MS) Previous Ranking: NA 2014 Stats: .361/.426/.652 at complex level AZL (39 games) The Tools: 6 potential power; 5+ potential hit; 5 potential glove What Happened in 2014: Cleveland lured the big, prep first baseman away from a Louisiana State University commit with a large six-figure, over-slot bonus, and then saw immediate returns as Bradley torched the Arizona League in 39 games. Strengths: Sturdy frame; big body; excellent present strength; efficient swing path with upward plane; drives offerings with lift and loft; life in hands; plus bat speed; advanced feel for strike zone; plus-to-better raw power; uses lower body well in swing mechanics; willing to use the whole field; mature approach to the game. Weaknesses: Will have to watch body from becoming too muscle bound; swing can get loose; on the aggressive side; uppercut in stroke leads to swing and miss above belt; will reach for stuff with break away; swing presently favors pulling the ball; limited defensive profile; first base-only player. Overall Future Potential: 6; first-division player Realistic Role: High 4; below-average regular/bench bat Risk Factor/Injury History: High; complex-league resume; early advancements with hit tool; bat-first profile. Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: The high-school first-base profile can be a good shield for fantasy hype, as I’d take Bradley fifth in this system for a dynasty league team, behind just the top four players on this list. With a strong 2015 season, he could solidify himself as a top 100 dynasty prospect capable of hitting .275 with 25-plus homers at the highest level. The Year Ahead: Bradley’s quick assimilation into professional ball was a pleasant surprise this past summer, and lent further credence to pre-draft reports that the bat was on the advanced side for a player of this age. The stick is the main draw here, where the 18-year-old possesses plenty of raw power and an early feel for consistently barreling up offerings thanks to a shorter swing path. The first baseman is also willing to work through sequences, which bodes well for him continuing to smoothly transition during the early career stages. It’s not out of the question for Bradley to receive a placement in full-season ball this year, though the organization may be inclined to keep him back in extended spring training to work with the swing a bit to go the other way with more ease before fully letting him loose in 2015. Regardless, this is a good looking hitter, who can very well round into a middle-of-the-order type when all is said and done, and provide strong offensive production on a consistent basis. There’s a long developmental road ahead for the prospect, along with the first base-only profile putting pressure on the bat to fully play, but with a strong showing in 2015 this will be a rising player in status within this system by next offseason.

OFP: 7; all-star player 7 arm, 6 hit, 5+ power, 5+ glove

Wow, BP ranked Cleveland's prospects today and placed Francisco Mejia #2, ahead of Frazier and Zimmer. All aboard the hype train!

I don't think turnovers can be counted towards a quadruple double...
