We will just assume I am in first. Thanks.

I'm I in first yet?

19 Jake Burger 3B Missouri State image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red 6/2 210 R/R Never drafted Much like Wake Forest third baseman Will Craig in 2016, Burger is the bad-bodied but big hitting third baseman whose track record of excellent offensive production will be hard for teams to ignore if they are looking for the safety of picking a college hitter. Burger’s power is some of the best in this draft class. He’s a fastball hitter with above-average bat speed who can catch up to premium velocity, but he’s also aware enough of the strike zone and has the pitch recognition to lay off tough off-speed offerings to put himself in fastball counts. Much like Todd Frazier, his swing includes an arm bar, but he’s been strong enough to make it work. In pro ball, his swing means he’ll likely sacrifice batting average for power. As of mid-May, he had 19 home runs, meaning he’s likely to reach 20 home runs for the second straight season and he does it while hitting for average (.344 career batting average) and while walking more than he’s struck out this season. Whether Burger can stick at third base will depend on how much work the team that drafts him is willing to do. His feet work relatively well and his arm is average and accurate, but he lacks a quick first step and is limited in his range.

If anyone wants scouting reports from the top 50 I have them. Seth Romero seems pretty intriguing to me. "On pure talent, Romero is a top 10 prospect and among the top college pitchers in this year’s draft. He’s a lefthander with a chance to have three quality pitches: a 93-96 mph fastball, a slider and a changeup. Romero’s plus fastball is his primary weapon. Throwing from a low three-quarters slot, he does a good job of getting in on the hands of righthanded hitters and is capable of locating his fastball to either side of the plate. His low slot makes his fastball even tougher for lefties. His slider has excellent bite and is also a plus pitch. He uses his changeup less often, but it has deception and the potential to be at least average. Romero has shown a consistent ability to pound the strike zone while generating swings and misses. He was leading Division I with 15.7 strikeouts per nine innings in 2017. For his college career, he struck out 11.5 batters per nine while walking only 2.8 per nine. But as teams line up their draft boards, they’re surely spending as much time talking about questions about Romero’s makeup as they are discussing his swing-and-miss stuff. Romero was suspended during the 2016 season for what Houston termed a violation of team rules. He was suspended again this April, reinstated and then kicked off the team just a week after his reinstatement. Romero also had surgery during high school where a screw was inserted in his elbow. Scouts will have to feel comfortable that Romero’s problems stem more from immaturity than anything else, but at some point, likely in the first round, a team will view his talent as worth the risk, because he’s a three-pitch lefty who could move quickly. After throwing less than 50 innings for Houston, his limited workload makes it easier for a team to let him throw significant innings in his first pro season. And he has the stuff to potentially help out a big league club in the bullpen this fall."

We have updated our preseason Top 100 Prospects list to account for the graduations of players such as Andrew Benintendi and Dansby Swanson, but also to update the rankings based on feedback from scouts who now have a month of extended spring training and a little more than a month of the minor league season to evaluate players. Because it’s so early in the season, the adjustments in the rankings are generally modest. More significant chances will take place in our Midseason Prospect Update in July. But some players have made cases to move up or move down with their performances so far. ON THE RISE Yoan Moncada image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, 2b, White Sox | New Rank: 1, Up one spot image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_whitesox85.jpg The prize the White Sox acquired in their trade of Chris Sale to Boston, Moncada assumes the No. 1 spot after Andrew Benintendi’s graduation. With Triple-A Charlotte, Moncada has continued to show the same standout offensive tool set as he has throughout his brief but decorated minor league career. Asked to move around the diamond with Boston, Moncada is focusing on second base only with the White Sox and is getting lessons on manning the position from Charlotte manager and former big league second baseman Mark Grudzielanek. Kolby Allard image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, lhp, Braves | 28, Up 9 spots image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_braves80.jpg Allard has put himself on the fast track. The lefthander was part of a trio of Braves pitching prospects—along with Max Fried and Mike Soroka—who were chosen to skip over high Class A Florida and go straight to Double-A Jacksonville. Allard is the youngest player in the Southern League and ranked second on the circuit with a 1.38 ERA. He has used his fastball-curveball-changeup combination to strike out 31 hitters against just nine walks. Anthony Alford image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, of, Blue Jays | 34, Up 24 spots image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_bluejays81.jpg It’s all about good health to explain Alford’s good start. Last year Alford missed time with a knee injury and concussion, but he hit a much better .257/.381/.449 in the second half after he’s shaken off injuries and rust. His .309/.387/.436 start at Double-A New Hampshire reinforces that he’s a speedy center fielder with a solid batting eye. Franklin Perez image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, rhp, Astros | 39, Up 15 spots image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/HoustonAstros.png Evaluators who’ve seen Perez have heaped lofty praise on the 19-year-old, noting plus command of three plus pitches—fastball, slider, changeup. The results have followed in kind. Over three appearance at high Class A Buies Creek, Perez allowed just three singles while striking out 14 and walking two. He was expected to return to the mound after a short bout of knee soreness, the only obstacle he’s faced so far. Luis Urias image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, 2b/ss, Padres | 57, was unranked image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Padres-Cap-4c.jpg Urias emerged as one of the best pure hitters in the minors last season and has carried it forward. Urias has decimated opposing pitchers despite being the youngest player in the Texas League at 19. He is demonstrating improving power along with his consistent hard contact. Even better, Urias has done it all while playing a serviceable shortstop with smooth hands and an average arm. Though a second baseman naturally–and probably one in the majors–Urias’ ability to play shortstop is no longer just theoretical and makes him an even more prized prospect. Juan Soto, of, Nationals | 59, was unranked image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_nationals78.jpg Soto is one of the purest hitters in the minors. The Nationals pushed Soto to the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League last year and he won the MVP award. They sent him to the low Class A South Atlantic League this year as an 18-year-old, and he already looked like one of the league’s best hitters, with a mature approach well beyond his years and a compact lefty stroke with excellent plate coverage. The only thing that’s been able to slow Soto is an ankle injury, which could keep him out the next month or two. Walker Buehler image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, rhp, Dodgers | 77, was unranked image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_dodgers83.jpg Buehler entered the 2015 draft facing questions about the health of his pitching elbow to go with concerns about his slender build. He’s still slender, but after 2015 Tommy John surgery, he’s showing better stuff than he ever did pre-injury. Buehler has reached or surpassed 100 mph this spring and sits in the high 90s, making his already solid secondary offerings play up even more. Buehler didn’t throw four innings in any of his first five starts this year as the Dodgers are being cautious. The durability questions remain, but Buehler’s stuff is as good as virtually anyone in the minors. Rhys Hoskins, 1b, Phillies | 88, was unranked image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_phillies83.jpg At some point, a player’s track record speaks for itself. Hoskins has performed at a high offensive level throughout his minor league career. After hitting 38 home runs and drawing 71 walks in a .281/.377/.566 line in hitter-friendly Reading last year in Double-A, Hoskins has been one of the best hitters in the minors this year with Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The offensive bar is a high one for first base prospects to clear, but Hoskins has the bat speed, plus power and plate patience to meet it. Bo Bichette image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, ss, Blue Jays | 93, was unranked image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_bluejays81.jpg A second-round pick last year, Bichette already has leapfrogged several players who went ahead of him in the first round. He has vicious bat speed from the right side of the plate and unleashed controlled violence in his swing, driving the ball for plus power with the ability to square up different types off pitches and control the strike zone well for a 19-year-old. Jesus Sanchez image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, of, Rays | 96, was unranked image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_rays4.jpg A good hitter with a gangly, underdeveloped frame when he signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2014, Sanchez has packed on muscle to become a strong, powerful and athletic outfielder with a well-rounded skill set. At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, Sanchez is a lefthanded hitter with plus raw power and the feel for hitting to show that extra-base pop in games. He’s an aggressive hitter but shows pitch recognition skills and is also an above-average runner underway, though he isn’t a big basestealer. FALLING J.P. Crawford image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, ss, Phillies | 19, fell 7 spots image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_phillies83.jpg Crawford’s still young for the league. He’s still a promising shortstop who controls the strike zone, but most of the promising young shortstops (Francisco Lindor, Corey Seager and Carlos Correa to name three) in the majors got better and better as they climbed the minor league ladder. Crawford’s performance has gotten worse and worse since he’s reached Double-A, and most notably, he’s struggled to drive the ball with any consistency. Over the past full year from May 1, 2016, Crawford was hitting .228/.321/.309. Lucas Giolito image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, rhp, White Sox | 40, fell 15 spots image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_whitesox85.jpg Admittedly Giolito is working to improve his delivery and add deception and fastball command, so there are some explanations to his brutal start. But the longtime top prospect and key piece of the offseason Adam Eaton deal is sitting in the low-90s with shaky command, he hasn’t located his plus curveball consistently, and the addition of a slider hasn’t helped yet. At times Giolito looks good for an inning or two, but simply doesn’t locate consistently enough to sustain it. As of May 8, he had the second-worst ERA in the International League and opponents were hitting .288/.396/.541 against him this year. Matt Manning image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/bba_video_icon_red.png bba_video_icon_red, rhp, Tigers | 81, fell 20 spots image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Tigerslogo.jpg Manning, the Tigers’ first-round pick last season, has been held back in extended spring training, which isn’t shocking for a pitcher who has very little mound experience as a basketball/baseball star in high school. But in extended spring, Manning has been struggling to fully let loose his fastball as he’s gearing down to guide the ball into the zone. Jorge Mateo, ss/cf, Yankees | unranked, was 85 image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_yankees85.jpg Mateo’s breakout half-season in high Class A Tampa in 2015 keeps receding further and further into the background. Mateo is back in Tampa for a third year as he tries to master center field in addition to shortstop. James Kaprielian, rhp, Yankees | unranked, was 87 image: http://www.baseballamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/3ds_yankees85.jpg Kaprielian’s stuff as a pro exceeded expectations as he showed more velocity and pure stuff than he did at UCLA. But he’s also struggled to get onto the mound. After throwing only 18 innings in 2016 (plus 27 more in the Arizona Fall League), Kaprielian will miss all of 2017 with Tommy John surgery. If he returns with the same stuff as he has pre-surgery, he is a potential front-of-the-rotation starter, but it’s going to be a long road back.

^ Owns Kelly in fantasy?

lmao wat?

lol

I was on the subway this past weekend and i was sitting next to this guy and he was telling stories to his buddy. I guess he works security at the rogers centre and he had a bunch of Zuan stories but the best one was apparently on the last 2 games of the season last year Zaun, him and the head of security would go back behind the backdrop which is apparently like a shed and take shots. He apparently was hammered on air for the final 2 games. There was also another story about him showing up 4 mins before they went live and no one knowing where he was, almost knocking out a fan, ect

I hate my pitching staff so much. Seriously though, hope he beats it. f*** cancer.

I would consider picking him up on the waiver wire. Maybe. lol

lol

I would be interested if you would have me.

I'm going to get wrecked this week. I neeeeed pitchersss. Anyone?
