Jim i am looking forward to your votes.

Thanks Spanky.

I confirm

Cal Quantrill is pretty meh.

^ Smart man up in here

I would prefer Luis Patino over Baez. Something like Patino, Allen and Gabriel Arias would be a very nice return for Stroman.

And most importantly... Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: For me, Baez is the clear outlier among the pitchers on this list in that he might not be a top-200 dynasty prospect at this point. It’s not really a knock against the stuff, which as you read is more than enough. It’s that the odds of him being a starting pitcher are notably lower. If he makes it, he could be a 2008 xFIP superstar, but no one actually projects those pitchers to catch lightning anymore. Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: Yay, more pitchers. This is nothing against Allen, who’s a borderline Top 101 candidate (an impressive feat for a mound dweller), but there are at least 3-4 hitters that I won’t get to write fantasy blurbs about who I’d rather own in just about any format. Again, it’s a realistic SP4 future without the kind of strikeout numbers to bring him higher. Did you love the 2018 version of Marco Gonzales? Of course you did. What kind of question is that?

8. Logan Allen, LHP DOB: 5/23/1997 Height/Weight: 6’3” / 200 lbs. Bats/Throws: R/L Drafted/Acquired: Drafted in the 8th round by the Red Sox in the 2015 MLB Draft, IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL); signed for $725,000. Acquired from the Red Sox for Craig Kimbrel. Previous Ranking(s): #9 (Org) 2018 Stats: 1.63 ERA, 6.12 DRA, 27 2/3 IP, 21 H, 13 BB, 24 K in 5 games at Triple-A El Paso; 2.75 ERA, 3.35 DRA, 121 IP, 89 H, 38 BB, 125 K in 20 games at Double-A San Antonio The Report: Allen dominated in difficult pitching environments in the upper minors in 2018. He won’t blow you away with his stuff like some of the other Padres prospects, and he has the least gaudy radar gun readings among the arms in this Top 10. Allen’s fastball sits a couple ticks either side of 90, but there’s enough cut to keep it off barrels and the deception in his delivery makes it sneaky fast at times. The delivery has a bit of lefty funk which has impacted his ability to throw strikes at times, but he’ll also show you outings where he’s pumping the bottom of the zone to both sides. The major difference maker for him in 2018 has been the development of his slider, which he manipulates between cutter action with deceptive late depth and a more traditional two-plane breaker. It tunnels off the fastball well and could be the bat-misser that he previously lacked. Allen also has a high-70s curve that he struggles to wrangle into a consistent shape and a change he uses sparingly. ____ 9. Michel Baez, RHP DOB: 1/21/1996 Height/Weight: 6’8” / 220 lbs. Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Acquired: Signed December 2016 by the Padres out of Cuba for $3 million. Previous Ranking(s): #5 (Org), #52 (Top 101) 2018 Stats: 7.36 ERA, 3.22 DRA, 18 1/3 IP, 22 H, 12 BB, 21 K in 4 games at Double-A San Antonio; 2.91 ERA, 4.01 DRA, 86 2/3 IP, 73 H, 33 BB, 92 K in 17 games at High-A Lake Elsinore The Report: Baez looks like a cardboard cutout of Dellin Betances; he stands a comparable 6-foot-8 with broad shoulders, but without the same supporting width through his hips and lower half. He leverages that height to generate outstanding plane from an unusual angle, and the combination of a fastball that’ll tickle 96 and a tumbling change from on high can give hitters fits when he’s consistent through his progressions to slot. He’ll work two variants of spin into the mix as well, with a tight slider in the low-80s that’ll flash two-plane action and decent bite, along with a mid-70s curve that teases with solid finish and dropping action. The former shows more promise to develop into a solid-average chaser, although there are at present just as many gutters as strikes with both offerings. The Role: OFP 60—No. 3 starter or high-leverage bullpen arm Realistic 50—No. 4 starter or setup The Risks: The above “when he’s consistent” disclaimer is a big “if,” however. While he indeed flashed better-than-most ability to repeat, the sheer length of his delivery combined with a top-heavy frame lead to periodic struggles maintaining balance and timing through his delivery. There’s reliever risk here if his command never comes together, though his stuff and mound presence would make him an excellent option to emerge from a swinging bullpen gate if it comes to that. —Wilson Karaman

Sweeeeeet. They have such a nicey farm system. Man oh man if the Jays got Gore.

Go Leaves Go!

Time to find a replacement owner for Admin

EZe seemed to be able to sign up?

This is a pretty uneducated list as i have just read scouting reports from various sites and watched youtube videos. lol But my very fluid list would be something like.. 1. Adley Rutschman 2. Riley Greene 3. Bobby Whit Jr 4. Andrew Vaughn 5. Corbin Carrol 6. Will Holland 7. Cj Abrams 8. Brennan Malone 9 Josh Jung 10. Graeme Stinson

That would be amazing. i purchased the whole year right away only to find out the only sport they have that i care about is NFL and i have the supers sports pack. lol Although i'll give credit to Dazn for getting me to gamble on Russian hockey and Italian soccer games. I do find most NCAA baseball teams have streams on their sites for almost all their home games.

Standard BJMB vetting process. 1. How do you feel about JP Arencibia? 2. What's your favourite metallica song? 3. Does tap water cause diabetes in cats? 4. Would you draft David Jacob top 10 in a prospects draft? 5. Can Ryan Goins stick?

I like Andrew Vaughn and Rutschman but they will be long gone by the time the Jays pick most likely. P2F and i were discussing Vaughn many months ago about how insane his numbers are. Will Holland is just a personal fav of mine that i feel will go in the range of where the Jays will pick. I like toolsy college guys who play premium positions (See TSwag) I will also be watching a ton of Auburn baseball this year so that i guess could change.

Mock Draft alert with big write ups! http://baseball-farm.com/index.php/2018/11/25/2019-mlb-mock-draft-tldr-at-bottom/ 9) Atlanta Braves* Will Holland, SS, Auburn 5-10 175 R/R This one is easy. Carter Stewart is the best arm here (assuming he doesn’t win his pending case against the Braves for not offering him a minimum contract offer to get a comp pick) and that’s not gonna happen again. The Braves system is absolutely loaded on the corners, behind the plate, in the outfield and the arms are notorious. But middle infield is a little bit sketchy, as is former #1 pick Dansby Swanson. With Witt and Abrams off the board, the Braves have their pick of the top college middle infielder and for me, there’s no doubt that player is Holland. Holland has a few questions (high k-rate in a short cape cod stint and for Team USA and occasional mental lapses at SS). But the pros are plus power, plus speed, highlight reel plays at SS, success against the SEC (.313/.406/.530 with 30 XBH (12 HR) and 9 steals in 66 games. And a short but sweet Cape Cod appearance. He does a little of everything and has room to improve. His ceiling is very high and he flashes 5 plus tools. Plus, as a college junior, he may sign a bit under slot here, allowing the Braves to go over slot with pick #21. In a deep college SS class, I can’t really see the Braves going anywhere else but the top SS here but Josh Jung could be in play if they sour on the SS crop. 11) Toronto Blue Jays Alek Manoah, RHP, West Virginia 6-6 260 R/R Pretty much the right-hand version of Graeme Stinson. Manoah is a mammoth human with monster stuff. I have a 70 on the fastball, which lives 93-96 with double plus movement and a 65 on the slider. He’s huge and gets good extension as well. Like Stinson, he’s been primarily a reliever so far and despite his frame hasn’t ever pitched over 55 IP in a year yet. Unlike Stinson, he has had control issues, over a 4.67 BB/9 both years at WVU. Much like Stinson though, he absolutely dominated the Cape Cod league. He went 7 starts for 33 ⅓ IP with just 15 hits and only 11 walks (2.97 BB/9) and struck out 48 with a 2.70 ERA and 0.79 WHIP against college baseball’s best. And watch him throw, that’s day 1 stuff. Most years he would be a late first round projection pick, but with this college class, he’s vying for the top arm spot after what he showed in the cape. The Blue Jays have shown a like for big righties with two absurd pitches (Noah Syndergaard and Nate Pearson) and this Mountain of a Mountaineer fits that mold to a T and gives you a feel for the ceiling. His changeup needs work and he will have to demonstrate improved command and handle a starters load, but I love the size, love love the stuff and love what I saw in the Cape. Misner and HS arms are in play here as well.

Ps. I never thought i would be having a discussion about fanning your nuts while sleeping here.

Don't you get cold?

Maybe in the summer.

wow tmi

I only told P2F to draft Russians and non Maple Leafs i guess next time i'll add goalie to the list.

Two Guys One Cup would like a starter. We have copious amounts of back ups already.

This is a fair comeback.

It's pretty bad when even i know your goalies suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
