    Morales still has a positive WPA and one of the higher Clutch ratings in the league this season, so he hasn't been completely useless regardless of what the batting metrics indicate.

    The Northwest League wherein Vancouver plays is a league wherein virtually every newly drafted College player begins their career. The average age is not "artificially inflated" as very few newly drafted College players are skipped straight to full-season ball, and in fact, the "gap" between Vancouver (A-) and Lansing (A) really isn't that significant for that reason. This only becomes an issue if you are looking at a College aged kid who is REPEATING short-season ball.

    Virtually every top drafted college bat from this draft is in short-season ball. I get what you are saying, but apart from Noda and Kevin Smith, these guys ARE in an "age appropriate" league. Riley Adams is still 20 and is in a league wherein the average age is right around ~21. Even Kevin Smith is still 20. Edit: Nevermind they both just turned 21 in the past ~two weeks.

    Welcome to yesterday.

    Riley Adams 2 for 2 with another 2B so far. Hitting .400+ in Vancouver so far. Not sure how many have clued in, but this kid has massive upside if he can make contact. This whole draft class is off to a fast start.

    Vlad is 18 years and 3 months old and already garnering "future best prospect in the game" discussion from virtually everyone who's seen him. By comparison, Meadows was only two MONTHS younger than Vlad is today when he was drafted. And suffice to say, he wasn't anywhere near this level of a prospect as an 18 year old. So yes, Vlad absolutely has a higher ceiling, due to his near flawless offensive profile (more walks than strikeouts at 18, plus bat speed and hand eye coordination, 70 grade power) which overrides whatever positional advantage Meadows has. The "gap" between Meadows and Vlad TODAY in terms of prospect ranking is virtually nonexistent, and Meadows is 4 years older.

    The GCL Jays are putting on a beating today. Davis Schneider: 2 for 2, 2B, 3 BB (this kid has 4 extra base hits and 7 walks in 5 games now) DJ Neal: 3 for 4, BB, SB Roither Hernandez: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K

    Yeah right. Vlad has the higher ceiling and is only ~2 years away himself. That trade would be retarded, and completely pointless.

    HS 1B PK Morris signed today.

    Bichette: 3 for 5, HR, 2B
  13. metafour
    Govea signed for $200K. We're at $4,305,000 so far.

    The GCL Jays are going against Shane Baz making his Pro debut today. Intredasting.

    How "good" he is is relative. Stuff wise, he's probably comparable to someone like Francisco Rios right now, and Rios is a fringe SP prospect. He absolutely has to get better, we aren't talking about a kid with MLB stuff today. Guys that throw low 90's are a dime a dozen.

    Lane Thomas has been traded to the Cardinals for more bonus pool.
  21. metafour
    Eddyzon Moreno didn't even make BA's writeup or their Top 50 ranking, so its really interesting that Longenhagen has him ranked #21. You usually don't see that much variance in IFA rankings.

    The Jays promoted 6'5" 18 year old RHP Jol Concepcion after just 17 innings in the DSL. He's starting for the GCL Jays today. He had 17 strikeouts to 3 walks and a 1.06 ERA in four DSL starts.

    The new CBA imposed hard caps, so there is no blowing past pools anymore. If you read the BA summary from the previous page, it seems like they WERE set to blow well past their pool in 2017 before the new CBA put an end to that, at which point they had to adjust their strategy. They can still acquire more bonus money through trades, especially now that we are getting closer and closer to becoming sellers at the deadline.

    The prospect guy before Longenhagen came on (he only lasted a bit) had Vlad Jr's. UPSIDE as like a bench player LOL. Like yeah; we spent $4+ million or whatever it was and went over our pool to sign a kid who's upside was a bench player.
  25. metafour
    This. Skoug was a healthy college Junior, so he didn't "fall" because of signability like a HS prospect would. Clearly MLB teams didn't have a grade anywhere near Top 50 on him.
