He very well should have been. I went back and forth with him and Hall at #4. I even had Hall lower, but I really think has a really good chance of being an impact high leverage reliever and while I really believe in Mayo, I do want to see those numbers improve next year in Bowie at 21 years old.

I can see that. I guess for me, as important as a high leverage reliever is, if that’s where you feel Hall ends up, I ding him and push him down the list some.

More of a thought of taking the 1st division everyday player over the reliever for me.

But I also think Hall can still end up a starter, so I can see the case for him since his ceiling may be higher than anyone in the minors, regardless of position.

I think the risk factor comes into play here. I think Hall's risk factor is pretty low on being an impact reliever because we've seen him to it a bit at the end of last year. 

If Hall was lower in the system he'd be much lower on the list. But I get it, I typically drop guys if they are going to be relievers, but I really think Hall has a chance to be one of the best as a reliever, and there's a lot of value on that.

Always something to be said about an higher floor.

That partially explains why guys numbers are typically not very good in Aberdeen, but a lot of these guys also hit mediocre away as well, so perhaps the other stadiums have similar issues?

All I know is the Sally League is the absolute worse for MiLB TV coverage. So hard to get good video and when they do provide the MPH, they are way off a lot of times. Frustrating league to watch or not watch in some cases still. 

 

I find it interesting that both Hernaiz and Prieto weren’t bothered by whatever the issues are at Aberdeen.

It is interesting. The only thing I can think of is that batter's eye affects some players different than others.
