They have 4 OFers they're working in (Cowser, Williams, Rhodes, Cook).  Plus, a good amount of competition for DH ABs as well.

There’s lots of competition for ABs in Aberdeen. We all know Bowie’s IF is crowded right now. Their OF has pretty decent options too. Watson went 20/20 last year and isn’t playing everyday there.

My pick to click this year. Looks like he has a quick bat and good athlete. In the Kyle Stowers mold. Starting off right at Aberdeen. 3-4 with a double and walk.

Rhodes didn’t play yesterday either. 2 days in a row makes me think he’s injured.

This is a guy who deserves more attention than he's getting.

.289/.432/.505 at age 21 in A+ ball. Equal BB and K rates (14.4%) and a very reasonable BABIP. Way outperforming Cowser and Norby in Aberdeen.

I'm just scouting the stat line, but I'm very interested in Rhodes. Could he be a top 10 prospect in the org next year?

If Rhodes is healthy, he’s right around #10. However, we have 6 picks in top 107 of the draft. It’s looking like only AR will lose his prospect status of our current list.

Outside of Rhodes, anyone from last year’s draft looking like a nugget?  The emphasis was on college hitters without mixing in top talent pitchers/high school players may sink this draft. On the fence on Norby and Cowser who are 22 and not really dominating A ball.

Strictly on performance, Rhodes and Carlos Tavera (5th round RHP) have been the best.   We keep waiting for Cowser and Norby to break out but it hasn't quite happened yet.   Don't forget the Reed Trimble is most likely out for the year or at least most of it.     Trendon Craig is not close to a nugget yet but the 250K 20th rounder is on the radar.    That draft hasn't had a Henderson/Stowers/Westburg type of player yet.   We hope Cowser or Norby become that guy but Rhodes might become that guy.   It would be nice to have two or three like that.

Sounds like we got too cute playing the underslot game instead the BPA. Hard not to see this draft as a failure and likely Elias’s worst O’s draft.

He hasn’t been getting attention because he hasn’t played since late May.  He was off to a nice start and will get plenty of attention if he picks up where he left off.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      I hope that Elias is not that dogmatic when it comes to FA pitching acquisitions. If you don't draft them and you don't sign them, you are limiting top pitching acquisitions to come only via trade. That strategy is not sustainable. Another Burnes type trade will hurt us bad. I would to go after any of the first four names on your "not in play" list. If we are letting Burnes walk out the door, most of these names cannot give you anywhere near the production and you will likely be at a disadvantage come game 1 in the playoffs. Some of the names from your "possible free agents" list should not even be considered IMO. Max Scherzer/Justin Verlander/Alex Cobb are all the end of the line and are very likely to be injured just like they were this season and the season before that. Those guys need to retire. Again, if you are not going to fish at the deep end the pool, then we will probably need two guys from your "possible free agent targets" list. Maybe Eovaldi +Montas? It's not great but gives us a shot to have a deeper rotation to go along with Eflin, Rodriguez, and Kremer. Then maybe you get Bradish back for the postseason? Maybe?

      Fangraphs updated top prospect list

      I’m pretty confident in saying that he won’t be the consensus #1 prospect like the others were.

      A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.

      On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.

      Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.

      Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      By waroriole · Posted

      Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.
