I went with Lowther and Pinto since I know Tony is really high on both of them. Bradish and Vavra was a tempting option though
-
If we can figure out on this message board that Hunter Harvey has more upside than Richie Martin, I'm sure Elias can figure it out, too. There has to be more going on here
-
Those of you who are sure this is so terrible, remember that the Giants have one of the lowest waiver priorities in baseball. Most other teams didn't want the guy either. Not even rebuilding ones
I agree that as a poster on this message board it looks stupid. But there has to be more here because what, 27 other GMs just took a pass on having him for free too.

28 other teams passed on him first. I just pulled a muscle shrugging so hard.
Kind of mind-blowing Harvey almost made it through waivers. Like, the rebuilding teams didn't even want to take a flyer
-
I've figured it out guys! Hunter Harvey was cut because sometime, somewhere he threw a sinker and Elias found out. He can't have that on this team
Dillon Tate has compromising pictures of Elias

Yeah, I'm not counting on him to be anything more than an average middle reliever
-
Bold move. I guess we'll see how it pays off
-
I'm pretty sure the right-handed version of Rom isn't a top prospect. Makes eliminating one of the options easy
-
I'm going with Rom and Basallo. Everyone else on this list struggled too much last year

I think it has to be Norby here. Pinto is the kind of unknown upside guy Tony likes to put at #11. If Henderson is rated higher than Stowers and Westburg on age, then I think Norby is probably higher than Vavra. Also, didn't Vavra bat like .245 while being a little old for AA?

In 12 of his 19 starts at AAA he went at least 5 innings including a 1.80 ERA in his last 5 starts which shows improvement. And he ended up with a 4.26 ERA at AAA. I think he deserves a chance at starting.
I'm not against giving him another shot at starting next year. I just don't think he'll stick there

Why do you think Bradish is a reliever?
Tony mentioned his velocity falling off after 2-3 innings in the Bradish thread and said he gives him "reliever vibes"
-
Bradish is likely a reliever at this point which makes it hard to rank him higher than early double digits

I also agree it's Heston. Only other guy up there who's in the conversation is Norby, and I think I'd rather have Kjerstad.
-
My guess is 8/9 are Westburg and Kjerstad in that order
-
It has to be Westburg. His overall line wasn't much worse than Stowers's and he's a middle infielder
-
Should have realized Tony is more optimistic on Stowers than I am (not that I don't like him or anything). I had him #8. Oh well, I guess Westburg is probably next

I think it's Westburg, but it could be Stowers. I like Stowers a lot and I'll bet he's #8, but Westburg is a potential SS who can hit and Stowers has a red flag or two.
I'm not even tempted by the other options. Baumann had a pretty bad season, and both he and Bradish are likely relievers in MLB from what I heard. Vavra missed too much time to be this high
-
What year did we go after AJ Burnett?
-
This is too high for Basallo and Bradish. Tony also had Westburg behind Henderson in the power rankings all year, so I doubt it's him either. Seems a bit high for Kjerstad still, though I do think he's top 10.
Gotta be Henderson here

We'll see. He also has very high walk rates, so I think the K rate is related to selectiveness and contact rates, not just contact rates.
I thought the more strikeouts you have, the higher your BABIP has to be if you want a good batting average and Stowers is at the level where your BABIP has to be well over .350 to have a batting average in the .260-.280 range.
Though if they are related to selectiveness as you say, that gives me hope that with more practice he could cut down on the strikeouts a bit -
I will be shocked if Stowers hits .260-.280 in the majors year in and year out. He strikes out too much in the minors and it's probably going to get worse in the majors.
He's a great player who will probably have a good MLB career, but I just can't see that high of an AVG
-
I think we can pretty safely rule out Baumann and Kjerstad here
Honestly, I could see the case for Hall, Henderson or Westburg. Tony has had Henderson ahead of Westburg pretty much all year, so I'm going to eliminate Westburg. Game then becomes which hurts the guy more in Tony's eyes? Hall being injured for most of the year or Westburg's poor defense. If I could have only one of these guys in the system, I'd pick Hall because the upside is tantalizing and we really need starting pitching. I'm going to guess Tony feels the same, but I still have a strong hunch it's Henderson.
Going with "Disabled List" Hall here. -
It has to be Cowser here. Tony downplayed Gunnar enough in the Mayo thread for me to think he isn't the choice here. I know Tony is high on Stowers, but I doubt he's this high. Tony also had Hall lower than the consensus last year and after another injury shortened year and new talent in the system I can't imagine Hall is higher than last year

Yeah, after seeing Hernandez this high, I'm taking the upside picks here
