I really hope Fangraph is off on their ETA...  I would be disappointed seeing Grayson in 2023 and Gunnar/Westburg in 2024.

17 y/o SS Leandro Arias slotting in at #12 piques my interest.

That also seems incredibly high. But clearly upside plays a big role in how they rank, which is fine, everyone does it a bit differently. 

The ETA thing is weird, I agree. The plan is clearly for Grayson to be here this year.

They must have some information about Guerrero that I never saw. The video I saw makes him look more like Deson than a top guy. 22 is very, very high for a guy who struggled in his debut. 

That was my thought too when I looked at the stats.  Slap hitters don't really do it for me.  Even if they are fast and young.  Fangraph gave him a 40/55 raw power rating though.  So maybe there's more in the tank than the stats show "as he grows into his frame".

His ranking reflects the size of his bonus, $ 600,000.  I guess.

Once he puts on some good weight and starts hitting for power, we will look at him again.  I would hope he makes it to Florida this summer.

Don't take this list seriously.  They don't even list milionaire stud catcher Samuel Basallo from the 2021 class, who hit well with power in the DSL last year.
