It’s frustrating that Hall, Vavra, Ortiz and Servideo all had their seasons cut short. We’d know so much more about where they really belong on this list if they had played a full season.   

I doubt I would have included Servideo in my top 30 if he ended a full year with a sub-.100 ISO (it was .066 in limited action).    I just don’t think his BA/OBP would stand up with that little pop.

Spoiler: Hall won't be in the top 30.

As for Servideo, I expected to see a much better defensive profile. I knew his bat wasn't great, but I expected more of a Grenier type of profile. That said, with this profile I might actually take Grenier over Servideo. It's unclear to me why he's listed other than draft position.

That comes with all of the caveats of injury, player development, etc.

I like the athleticism, plate discipline, and speed of Servideo and he hasn't played enough to show his potential warts. He's got a chance to go out to the outfield and add value and left-handed hitting utility guy who can get on base, steal a base, and be versatile has some value.

And they don’t want to admit they were that wrong about a guy.

I can understand not writing a toolsy prospect off after a bad year, but when there are more red flags than tools, and the performance doesn't match up, you have to be able to adjust. 

But then again, this is how players like Josh Hart stay on some national prospects lists long after they've shown they are not legitimate prospects. If you recall, I was one of the first to be luke warm on Hart (I never even like the videos I saw him at showcase events) then dropped him real low then off the list in two years. Meanwhile I think BA had him at #5 or something.

I think it was BP who really loved him.   I recall Stotle posting a rationale for their high ranking of Hart while he was working for BP, even though he wasn’t involved in the ranking.   

As to Hall, I haven’t given up on him, but this year was a definite setback for him and he doesn’t warrant top 30 treatment.

I have a question that will help me understand these guys are where they are:

Ryan McKenna is limited with the bat, but runs and defends well. I am assuming his ceiling is 4OF And he seems to be there. His -2 and -3 WAR are underwater, but not extremely so, but nobody wants a negative player anywhere, so my question is where would he be on this list?

Well, last year he was no. 27, and just below Servideo.   I’d say he didn’t improve his stock this year.   The speed and good defense were already known.   The issue was whether he’d hit, and he didn’t.   So, I’d say stock mildly down.   He’d be at the bottom of the list, or just off it.   My opinion.

The reason I asked was to get a sense of how these 20-30 guys would be doing if they were on the big club.

      Why was only Judge mentioned if it's obvious? Don't make stupid omissions don't get obvious fact checked.

      Who is going to end up the best career catcher? Wieters or Rutschmann.

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Wieters had a career fWAR of 15.5. Adley is at 14.3 in less than 3 seasons. Its Adley…by a mile.

      Anthony Santander 2024

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Santander is a low OBP, poor BA, mediocre fielder with very little base running value player.   He has great power and can carry a team. He’s a really good dude, solid in the clubhouse and a great representative for your franchise. In many ways, he is exactly like Trumbo even if he is the better player.  And even if he doesn’t fall off as dramatically as Trumbo did, he’s still very likely to fall off.    For what he will cost, you can bring in some solid pitching. Next years offense, barring any trades, should look something like this: 1st-Mayo, 2nd- Holliday, SS- Gunnar, 3rd- Westburg C- Adley OF- Kjerstad and Cowser Basallo potentially ready by midseason or so. That leaves you with decisions on Mountcastle, Mullins and OHearn and I guess Santander. You need to get right handed. Mounty is a righty but unless you are moving Mayo to the OF, you need him to play first. Do you keep Mounty around to be a 1st/DH if Mayo is also going to play the OF?  Maybe. Some RH bats to consider: Tyler O’Neill. Having a really nice year.  Strong arm in the OF but struggles out there otherwise. Not a great fit for OPACY LF. JD Martinez: Still can hit but zero versatility. In a game that values that, do you want to sign someone who doesn’t give you any?  On the Os, it may be ok but I tend to doubt they would. Duvall: Good defensive player. Abysmal with the bat this year but was very good last year. buy low guy who could provide some bench value. Robert: Been awful this year and had injury issues in the past. WS have already said they will trim payroll after this year. There are very few ways for them to do that, especially since Benintendi has no value. Robert will be made available. Great spend, very good in the OF and still a tremendous offensive upside. He will cost a lot less to acquire than last offseason.  The Os reportedly were interested in him before. Teams like the Dodgers and Mariners were linked to him at the deadline. There will be competition for him and maybe the Os don’t have the same depth to trade out of that they did in the past, so it may be tough but they should look into it.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      Gunnar got his 20th SB the other day.  I was curious and looked at his sprint speed vs Ohtani.  His is 28.8 vs 28.1 for Ohtani.  It made me appreciate even more Ohtani’s 50SBs.
