Not that it matters, but for some reason I took a lot of heat for suggesting mid season that Basallo would end up #1.

It’s all good. We don’t have to agree 100% on everything. 

So, it doesn’t matter which list he is #1 on as long as it’s one list?    Fangraphs is clearly going to be an outlier.   It’s doubtful that Baseball America, Pipeline, ESPN, Just Baseball, The Athletic, etc., etc.  are going to have Basallo #1 based on previous rankings.

Fangraphs is the same place that didn’t have Cowser in our top 10.

I’ll give you a half pat on the back because someone had Basallo #1.   The full pat on the back comes when another major site does it.

I think I saw he was 13th on the MLB list.

I don’t care.

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

Me neither.  After how bad our so called top prospects have looked recently, our guys are getting inflated stats in the minors.

I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t know how to tell if our guys are getting inflated stats in the minors compared to the same competition in the same leagues…are their stats inflated, too?

I’m exhausted from hyping these guys and having them come up and not produce right away. I mean, we complained about Gunnar in 2023, but he made it look easy compared to what Holliday went through this summer.  Mayo had a small sample size in comparison but he was completely awful. 
 

So whoop-dee-damn-doo.  Another #1 prospect. I’m sure Basallo will be fine after we have to suffer watching his first 200 at bats in the big leagues.
