5 O's in CBS Top 100 (Rutschman, GrayRod, and Mountcastle in Top 50)

Rutschman #13

GrayRod #40 (Jose Fernandez upside comparison!)

Mountcastle #43

Hall #70

Austin Hays #78

Big improvement from last year, we had only Diaz #59, Mountcastle #86, and Hays #91. This year Diaz is out, but Mountcastle and Hays move up incrementally, and Rutschman, GrayRod, and Hall are on the board. Too high for Mountcastle? Too low for Hall or Hays?

Note that it is a fantasy list so it tends to give higher value to guys who are close to the majors and who are likely to score in fantasy categories.

So it's hard to do a 1-to-1 comparison between this and true prospect lists like BA or BP would put out.

Forty-three places is incremental movement?

Nevermind. Harvey isn't on the list because it's fantasy baseball. Even the best RP on the Orioles would be devalued because of the lack of saves and/or hold opportunities. 

Even if it wasn't you think a relief arm with his injury history should be a top 100 prospect?  When Diaz isn't?

    • I just got power on in Savannah, I hope those we have not heard from are well.  
    • I think the point about Gunnar being left handed does swing this in his favor, if it’s an Os specific question. No sense in having your main stud player hitting warning track lasers that would be HRs in 29 other ballparks, over and over again. We may find out exactly how frustrating that is when it comes to Mayo the next couple years  Hopefully we find out! As for the speed, Witt is of course faster. But Gunnar had 20+ stolen bases himself this year. Not like he’s slogging around out there. And Gunnar is a fantastic baserunner overall   I think the defense is closer than people think too. Easy to be biased negatively because Gunnar struggled for a bit there. But there’s a reason we were all so surprised by that - he’s been rock solid otherwise.    Lastly if we had Witt, we wouldn’t have Adley.  Which still matters despite his tough second half. That element (which I realize isn’t necessarily part of the question) makes it a complete no-brainer. 
    • I'm sure they had to hold a certain number of decent seats back for MLB and corporate sponsors for the playoffs.
    • Maybe a groundball back to Cano.  
    • They've upped the prices back to $77. They've also opened up a lot more sections for purchase. I found this very frustrating when I went to a game a few weeks ago. Many sections appeared sold out and then they added seats for purchase a couple of weeks before the game. Perhaps it has to do with season ticket holders deciding to not go to the game and then the tickets become available?
    • I reckon it’s because Bowman is a contact guy. I know his strikeout rate was 8 with the O’s, but historically he’s been more of a 7 SO/9, so Selby does bring more of the strikeout potential. Although, ideally, you don’t want either of those guys pitching in the playoffs. But hey, maybe Selby ends up being That Guy for us.
    • I know you know, but we gotta adjust from just to cover innings over 162 to playoff time. We won’t need more than Burnes, Eflin, Coloumbe, Cano, and Dominguez. Maybe one of Akin/Perez.
