I can see Hall rating higher on a list for Fantasy players than he does on a conventional list.

I honestly love that he rated Hall higher, not because I necessarily agree or disagree, but because he did it based on projection. He decided there were tools to really like and decided to plant his flag on that player. That's fine, but I thought he was inconsistent in doing so for others, most notably Baumann and Harvey. It was kind of notable to me that he had Elio Prado (of the Cashner trade) at 17. I guess that means at least one person is hearing good things about the kid.

Also kind of funny to me that he didn't mention Hernaiz. Kind of a little bit of a tell that his knowledge of the org is a bit shallow, IMO.

I couldn’t tell how much the author was slanting his list to favor the guys who perform well in overweighted fantasy categories like stolen bases.

The only disclosure that he could be doing so is in his sentence saying this is "for dynasty leagues." 

I hate to be so critical. He probably has to do this for 32 orgs. I can only imagine how hard that must be, particularly when you get past the top 5-10 prospects, so I think he's doing a fine job all things considered. It's just littered by old or uncontextualized (Harvey, Diaz, Kremer) information, IMO.

Can anything be done to fix the links in the OP?     Many of them no longer link to last year’s scouting reports on the players.    I like to look at the old reports and compare them to the new ones to see how the player has progressed (or not).

@sbauer Can you look into this? Same thing seems to be happening for most links. they all seem to go to https://www.orioleshangout.com/2017/02/09/welinton-castillo-play-wbc/.
