Good to see the aggressive placements for Griff and Ethan Anderson. I assume Honeycutt will be top 10-ish once we see him play? So far so good with Griff and EA at Delmarva.

Honeycutt will be #4 or higher depending on if Holliday or Povich graduate from the list.

Basallo, Mayo, Honeycutt, Morfe, EBJ with O’Ferrell and Estrada in the mix. That’s not a bad top 5-7. Definitely not the let down I thought it would be post graduations/post trade deadline.

Is Yaiber Cartaya a dude to watch @Tony-OH @RZNJ?  79K in 56 IP across FCL and Delmarva. 6’5” 165. 21 and racked up most of his stats in the FCL.

Any projection there with that frame, or did he simply just put up good numbers as an older player for the FCL?

Thoughts?  Question for anyone. I noticed him while checking box scores on the recent draftees.

Looks at least interesting.   Of course, he’s not 165 lbs now.   He looks like he could get stronger but he’s definitely not a beanpole.   From the announcers he sounds like he’s 94-95 and the one time I saw him, his slider looked good.    I imagine he starts off in the Delmarva rotation next spring but he could advance quickly if he performs.

RZNJ did a pretty good job of explaining him. Here's my notes from the one outing I watched him. He had a nice outing last night but no video. Definitely a guy to watch due to the frame and current velocity.

FB- 94 (95)

SW- Ok, but not a ton of swing and miss
CH- Will throw right on right and get swing and miss

Loses command in bunches

Morfe could put himself in the mix. Plus, it’s refreshing to have our first legit pitching prospect since Grayson/Hall. Also, Morfe could be right behind Mayo, Basallo, and recent “first rounders” EBJ, Honeycutt, and O’Ferrell. Not bad for a dude that just hit stateside this year. 

Hope Morfe continues this.

Morfe has great velocity and very well may end up here, but for now, he needs work on his secondaries before getting too high.

Thanks. Both graduated during last night’s game. Now we get a little glimpse of what the system looks like after the dust settled from the trade deadline, and the draftees debuting. 

Two top 10 in MLB prospects up top in Basallo and Mayo. Our recent high rd NCAA draftees. Then we’re finally seeing our DSL players put themselves on the map.

Last one with Holliday and Povich.

Coby is the new #1 prospect in the or with the promotion of Holliday. Will he be able to hold off Basallo by the end of the year?

Wow, I'm surprised how high you have O'Ferrall, Tony. Are you a fan of his or is this more a not rating the guys below him that highly thing?

A little bit of both.

O'Ferrall is a legitimate defensive SS prospect who controlled the strike zone even if he did not impact that baseball much. That could be his downfall, but I'm going to give him a bit of a mulligan until next season.

On top of it all, who should be above him? Not a ton behind him to get super psyched over. It's either guys low in the system with promise, under performing hitters, defensive liabilities, or pitchers that have some promise, but don't scream out I'm going to be a successful starter.

[Baseball fandom]

With all the graduations the last couple of years this list is starting to look less and less impressive but  that's a good thing. Now it's time for these younger newer guys to make a name for themselves.
