Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's time for Join the Ranks, a prospect focused podcast
of the Dynasty Grew Network, helping Dynasty managers win your
league's one player at the time. So settle in for
an hour of conversation and insightful analysis with your hosts,
Dynasty Grew senior writers Drew Klein and Chris knock.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Well Coomem Johire, Drew wommeya Chris Quick follow up.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
To our global listening that I talked about a couple
of weeks ago, Chris, Sweden is now our number three
country by downloads, hence the Thelkumna Swedish Welcome to everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Yeah, and fun fact we got new country Chechia. We've
had one download in Checchia, which welcome to our Chechian friend.
And I love that because I cannot stop smiling when
I think about the Czech Electricians striking out show hey
at the World Baseball Classic a couple of years ago.
So glad to have them in the fold. There we go. Yeah,

(00:57):
today we're gonna talk about our top two hundred or
so prospects. Quite a list coming out this week on
the website, and it was quite quite a venture putting
it all together. So Christian Mthrowti, you coordinated all that
and kind of shepherded us along the way. Can you
tell everybody kind of how we got here, what's behind it,
and what people can expect to see on the website.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah. So basically, we put a bunch of names into
a hat and close our eyes and pull them out
two hundred in a row. No, there's a little bit
more to it. So the two hundred list was the
task I put in front of six of us, the

(01:42):
two drew in, myself and then Daniel and Brian Laboude,
Brandon Ring, Joe Juliet. Yeah, six of us. So there
are six of us, and we first compile our own
personal two hundred rank, and we all probably have our
own methodology behind that. And after we compile that, I

(02:07):
put a put it through a process that was actually
originally developed by Jordan Rosenblum now of fan Graphs and
Scout the stat Line and all sorts of other Magic
Excel spreadsheet fame put it through his little calculations and

(02:28):
it gives us an average.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
And then the.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Group of us chat with our slack communications and we
kind of just say, hey, I saw this guy was here.
I feel that he should be ranked here instead. Sometimes
those are people who we thought got slided by the group.
Sometimes we think those are people who got too heavily
or too highly ranked by the group. And we have

(02:57):
some discourse, some lengthier than others, some player's lengthier than others,
and whether how much that moves everyone's needles, that's to
be determined. But then we do a public vote and
public being internally public, so we can see how everyone
ranks if we so choose and bump people up from

(03:18):
based off of all that discourse. So it's really a
group effort and something that I think puts us in
a different light than a lot of the other ones
you get. You know, there's so many names out there,
and it's all their personal ranks. But I think that
when it's your personal ranks, it can lend itself to
a little bit of bias. Whereas this methodology allows us

(03:42):
to kind of, yeah, I might be more aggressive on
some players, whereas others like yourself, might feel differently about
their floors and maybe rank them differently, and it kind
of helps balance out some of those internal biases that
we have time and time again. So it's it's unique
and it's awesome and I'm always proud of it.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Yeah, and you should be. I think we came up
with a really good list. One thing I like about it,
you know, For instance, I tend to be lower on pitchers,
and some of the things we've talked about the past
couple of weeks can lend into that. And I think hitters,
you just feel safer kind of projecting you know where
they're going to end up for a few reasons. And
I tend to be lower than the average on slotting

(04:28):
in the FYPD players. And you know, not that I
don't trust what we see and hear out of their
college in high school scouting, but that's such a big
jump that, you know, and I tend to just not
feel comfortable putting them except for some of the really
exceptional names. But that balances out because if there are
others who maybe may know more about them or just
you know, kind of value them higher, both pictures or

(04:49):
FYPD and kind of pull them up, So you know,
I don't feel that, you know, my you know, being
down on those particular groups really pulls them down. Or
if I'm too high on somebody, you know, I can't
pull them up. Talking to you to Coha Robi. Oh, yeah, yeah,
I don't think we're going to talk about Yeah, So

(05:09):
I think what we'll do I like to do what
I did with the Pitchers is kind of real quickly
go through last year's top ten, and then before I
jump into this year's top ten, and we'll go through
probably the top fifty today ten a time, pick out
a couple of names to talk about from each each group,
and then I've got a couple two last questions or

(05:30):
last question part A and B for today. But last
year our top ten were Jackson Holiday, Jackson, Turio, Wyatt,
Langford Junior, Cameron Aro, Jordan Lawler, Evan Carter, James Wood,
Dylan Cruz, Paul Skeins, and Kobe Mayow. Seven of them
graduated up, so they're not to be considered anymore. Holiday, Tario, Langford,

(05:53):
Cameron Arow, Carter would end schemes. Three are still on
the list, but only one still in the top ten,
and that's still in Cruise, who.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Was like one ad bad shy of graduating or something.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
Right, exactly exactly one at bad Actually yeah. Yeah. In fact,
we had some conversations about that because we had over
one hundred and thirty plate appearances but only one hundred
and twenty nine at bats. But Jordan Lawler fell down
to eighteen, UH, Cobe Mayo down to sixteen, and I
would like to we'll wait till we're talking about that

(06:26):
second group of ten to talk about Mayo and Lawler.
But Dylan Cruise UH is the high man of the
three left, but still number seven in our top ten.
So I'll read the top ten, but maybe we can
jump off with the Cruise and talk about that a
little bit. One more thing to add. We talk a

(06:48):
lot about prospects. We're kind of prospect forward on the podcast,
so I know we're going to talk about names that
we've talked about before, but hopefully we'll kind of give
new perspectives and you'll be a fresh round some or
but I know on my list anyway, I tried to
highlight some that we didn't talk about or talk about
much before. So I'll have some new content today as well. YEP.

(07:09):
This year's top ten Rookie Sasaki, Jay San Domingos, Roman, Anthony,
Samuel Bassaio, Christian Campbell, Dylan Cruz, Andrew Painter, Jackson Job,
Matt Shaw, and Bryce Eldridge. So Yeah, let's talk about
Dylan Cruise for a second. I had him at six,

(07:32):
so just one higher than where we were with the group.
Think you had him around, We all had him in
this range. But interesting that the one player, well one
of the three players on last year's top ten who
carried over there are five new members of the top
ten above him. Now Rokie is the unicorn. He came
over from Japan and wasn't ranked last year. But you

(07:55):
know the other four did leaf frog over him. So
is this a message that Dylan Cruz, you know, isn't
what we thought he was, or is it just hey,
there's a lot of really good prospects and top town
is still top ten and pretty good, which, by the way,
is where I am.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Yeah, I don't think it's any sort of slight against
mister Cruz. Here his triple A numbers last year, well,
I guess he split between triple A and double A
before getting promoted. He was great, He was above average
at triple A. He was only there for barely two

(08:34):
months and eight home runs, ten stolen bases. His k
rate improved from double A, which is phenomenal to see
because he was holding in the mid teens every time
at every level above that or below that. I guess
I think it's I wouldn't expect someone who was highly

(08:59):
ranked coming into a year if they don't graduate, I
don't necessarily anticipate them to be number one or it's
not a good year. So I think it's more of
the latter part of what you suggested, in that there's
just other prospects who potentially have higher ceilings and crews.

(09:19):
But he's still going to be a fantastic fantasy asset.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I think so too, And I think the power is
still developing. I mean, the the powers there just not
reflected in super high slugging percentages, but I think that's
going to come. I mean it's going to be twenty
three years old this year and coming up. He exhibits

(09:46):
a lot of power and he hits to all fields.
I think he's just a well rounded ball player. Thinks
it's me be fun to watch on the field, and
I think that, you know, seeing him Plateau install there
not a bad thing when you're Plateau at number six
of all prospects.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
So all right, even if he ends up not hitting
more than you know, low twenties homers, ever, a twenty
thirty bat is super valuable, especially when he doesn't have
many swinging misconcerns, So you're probably going to get average
and OBP along with that great eye, or at least
he's got a league average eye at every stop so far.

(10:25):
So you know, it's truly the five category. I know,
I bandy that I throw that phrase out a lot,
and it's probably inaccurate half the time because I ignore the
OBP aspect. I just talk about mostly the homers and steals,
But truly, Cruz might not be a plus homer power,

(10:46):
but he's going to be an average power bat and
plus steals and average or better average. So that's he's
going to be well regarded for years to come.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
And then another name, I'm very excited to see Andrew
Painter healthy all year, uh and see him pitch in
the major leagues. I'm guessing he's gonna start at Triple
A as he continues to ramp up after coming back
with a year off with Tommy John or the elbow surgery.
I think his ceiling is just so high, and and

(11:23):
you know, it's been a it feels like it's been
a long time coming since he was so highly regarded.
You know as soon as he was drafted. But you know,
I'm I think the Phillies really have something there. I
know they're going to be careful with him, but I'm
quite sure we're going to see him in the majors
this year. I hope. So I've got a rostered a
few places, but not just for that reason. It's just,

(11:45):
you know, it's fun to watch, you know, the really
any pitch, any player been fun to watch an exciting
pitcher kind of kind of come up and and show
us what he has. So, you know, high velocity pitcher, uh,
fastball slider kerr like three three very good pitches right there.
So gets a lot of swing and mission this game,
and it's gonna be a good starter. So like the group,

(12:08):
I have him slightly above Jackson Joe. If we're just
for this year, I think Job's gonna have you know,
you know, in redraft, I'm picking Jackson job first because
we'll see him all year, even if the Tigers are
careful with him. But you know, I think they're gonna
be running him out there pretty regularly. But I think,
and it's just by a hair, I think the higher

(12:28):
ceiling is Painters, do you any thoughts on that one.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
No, I agree, Painter definitely has the highest ceiling, probably
out of any pitching prospect currently including job as you mentioned,
sans Sasaki, and that's even debatable. It could be Painter
between those two. Yeah, it's it's interesting he's not on

(12:57):
the forty man. Everyone anticipates in to come up this
year because you don't want to waste bullets. It will
be interesting how they use him. When he was carving
up the minor leagues before his surgery, you know, he
was only getting like five innings to start then, and

(13:18):
now he hasn't pitched competitive games in two years. It's
gonna be a little interesting to see what they do,
how they manage his workload but keep him hopefully throughout
the year. So if I'm a competitor and he's on
my team, I'm probably not anticipating useful indings out of

(13:39):
him this year, but obviously any innings are good, especially
when they're at the major league level. I think best
case outcome is he's something kind of like that limited
Crochet second half of last year, where he's pitching in
three and four inning bursts.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
Yeah, I mean the Phillies, you know, their rotation with
you know Sanchez, Nola, Regis Juarez, and he's just Lizardo.
It's pretty solid. You know, Lizardo is always an injury risk.
I'd have to look him up. I don't think he's
got track records staying healthy, at least not recently so.
But right now, they don't need Painter right away, and

(14:19):
they could keep a triple A and say let's bring
up next year and see if you get a Rookie
of the Year and get that draft picker. But it's
going to be interesting to see. I think we'll see
him this year.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Though I agree he's and the Phillies are. You know,
they're not short on pocket change and haven't shown to
be rather stingy either. This is kind of their first
major prospect, I think since the colass collective bargaining, where
you have those prospect promotion picks and some other incentives

(14:53):
to get him up early. So you could be right
that they might hold him back. But the top four
you mentioned out of that rotation, they haven't had a
lot of collective time on the il whose Arto is
the exception. So if any of them go down, he
could be the very first one up. And I don't know,

(15:15):
it'll be interesting to see how they play it.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
I just got one more I want to throw out
and then I'll kick it over to you to see
if you have any But a lot of discrepancy on
Matt Shaw came in at ninth overall. I had him
in my top three, and then if I can spoil,
you had him down almost at twenty. Part of this
is the proximity bias I was talking about earlier. You know,

(15:39):
I know he's going to be playing, you know, with
the Cups of Unit. In fact, he's making the trip
to Japan. But they're bringing like fifty guys over there,
or not fifty, but they'll bring more than the twenty six.
They'll bring like thirty one. So we don't know who
they're twenty six or twenty seven on the roster are
going to be. But you know third base is going

(16:01):
to be you know him or Gauge Workman or somebody.
So I think it's a very good chance we see
Matt Shaw a lot this year and again high hit tool,
high power tool, and is still steal some basis for you.
I really like him. I don't know, maybe I have
him a little bit over ranked, but can I can

(16:21):
I ask you, you know the you know you had
him lower ranked than the groups. Is there something you
see in him or is it strength above him or.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
It's more strength above him. So my prospect ranks for
I think it was like the first one hundred and
twenty five one hundred and fifty are just straight out
of my dynasty ranks. And so that's It's just that
there's other prospects I like more. I mean, we talked
about Shaw one of our previous epods. I don't know

(16:53):
if it was third base or second base, but he's
got a more complete fantasy game then a lot of
third basements, and I think the third base players and
I think that could be of value. It's just that
I like, I think the overall ceilings on several others
more so than Matt Shaw currently. And as you said,

(17:15):
I mean Gauge Workman, he's having a hell of a spring.
He was a top he was a the Rule five
draft pick this year, and without if they don't want
to send him back with some money, Gauge Workman is
going to be on that MLB roster all year. So

(17:36):
it's possible that if Shaw struggles, he might get sent
back down and you know, it's not outside the realm
of possibilities despite him headed over to Tokyo. So not
against Matt Shaw. It's just that there's other names I
like more so than him.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Okay. Yeah, And I think if Gage Workman gets offered
back to the Detroit, they're going to take him because
it's a really big keeping hole at third base and
Jase Young is not filling it at the moment. But
we're not talking about that right now. So I know,
I kind of bogarted the first three names in the
top ten. Anybody else you want to talk about.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
I think we've probably discussed a lot of these guys,
so I'm ready to give some other people some maritime Okay.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Number eleventh through twenty are Walker Jenkins, Sebastian Walcott, Noah Schultz,
Emmanuel Rodriguez, Kobe Mayo, Max Clark, Jordan Lawler, Carson Williams,
lazarro Montes, and Bubba Chandler. So I teased talking about
Jordan Lawler so on, then we jumped there. I don't

(18:42):
think he's who we thought he was who we thought
he was really having trouble, you know, kind of with
the hit tool, not just at the Major league level.
I think last year all the way around, you know,
he had some issues and he's had a lot of
trouble staying healthy and leave last year there's some hamstring issues,

(19:02):
so you know, kind of getting hit with a pitch
is one thing, but when you get soft tissue injuries
coming back, as we've talked about before, those tend to
linger and come back and kind of have an impact.
He's probably a better third basement than he is a shortstop,
but the defense isn't kind of what's holding him back

(19:23):
more than he just hasn't shown at the plate what
you know, we thought we were going to see, I know,
you know during the last year's ranking period and kind
of you know, going into you before that as well.
So you know, one hundred and four played appearances total
last year, three eighteen four, seventeen forty two. Slash line,
so not terrible slash line. He's putting the bat on

(19:45):
the ball, but he hit two home runs all of
last year after hitting twenty the year before in four
hundred and ninety played appearances, So there's some pop in
the bat. There's he's just okay, you know, he's gonna
he's gonna be a major league ball player someday. But
I think he's gonna plate to or slide down before

(20:08):
he slides up. Any insight there.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yeah, I think a lot of people he was one
of those kind of scouted to potentially grow into more power,
and whether it's because of health and lack of at
bats or it's not happening, we don't have that power yet.
He's got the wheels as long as he's healthy. So

(20:35):
if we are going to have a Royce Lewis situation
similar of repeat soft tissue injuries on someone who was
considered to be a speedster, that definitely detracts some of
his value. I'm not out on Royce. I don't think
any of us really are. But he's not showing, you know.

(20:57):
I think at one time the dream was that he
would be somewhat what're we were just saying Dylan Cruz
is going to be, and the realistic outcome of that
is diminishing with each and every injury. And the signing
of Perdomo long term extension, the four year extension a

(21:18):
kind of hung that question mark emoji on the last
text message from the Diamondbacks. So it's interesting that, you know,
I don't think it's necessarily a vote of no confidence
on Lawler. I think it was mostly just a wise
baseball move to lock a team player down. And as

(21:43):
you mentioned, he is versatile enough to perhaps move off
of shortstop, So we'll see. It's just that we have
to keep saying we'll see. And like I said, not
as shiny as he once not. The star isn't quite
as shiny as it once was.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Yeah, I agree, And and I could also see the
Diamondbacks moving one or you know, Perdomo or Lawlor. You know,
if if one pushes the issue. But if Lawler can
move to third, that opens up a door for him.
The other name that fell from the top ten into
this tier was Kobe Mayo, who I don't even between

(22:20):
ranking when we do the rankings and now can The
more I see, the more I read about him, I'm
starting to think it's maybe more than just a crowded
Baltimore system, big right handed pull hitter. Apparently there issues
with sliders away. I mean, that's that's coachable. However, the

(22:40):
holes in the swing. You know I've been reading lately
is that the pictures are finding that and kind of
taking advantage of that. So you hate the label somebody
with the Joey Gallow label. But you know, could be
a big, you know, big swing. If it's a fastball
in the middle, it's gone. If not, you know, it's

(23:00):
a it's a swing in the miss he's gotten.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
He does have a he's a big, large man and
he has the whole. But he is patient to a
fault here.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
I'm not giving up hope. I think Kobe Mayo uh
was pulled up to the big leagues when the Baltimore
Orioles were trying to succeed, and he had trouble adjusting
it's a major league pitching and struggled and then was
benched and in his infrequent opportunities, was pressing too much.

(23:37):
So I am not of the belief that his cup
of coffee last year was representative of what he'll be.
I still think he'll be a valuable major league Fantasy
baseball player. I just don't I don't know when that's
gonna happen. That's my biggest thing is I thought he

(23:58):
was gonna be a Rookie of the Year candidate last year,
and when the opportunity came to call him up, they didn't.
Early they started to flash some signs at me, so
I'd keep holding. But it feels like it might be

(24:18):
a bit.

Speaker 3 (24:20):
Who do you want to talk about in this group?

Speaker 2 (24:22):
Let me click back to this one. Our top twenty
Lawler was actually going to be the name I was
going to bring up. We can talk about Max Clark
a bit here, all right? Did we talk about him
with house feelers? You know that feels like it was
a year ago.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Yeah? No, I don't think we did.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
All right, Well, let's talk about him. Do you want
to start since he's one of your boys, or do
you want me to jump out?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
You go ahead?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Okay, so you know I'm I haven't been following his
spring training at all. But Max Clark is kind of
like the Dylan Cruz, the Jordan Lawler type where lots
of wheels, very athletic, could grow into more power with
his decent hit tool. He's a hustler. He's great in
the outfield as far as I'm aware, or solid in

(25:12):
the outfield at least not be too big of a liability.
But a speed is what really helps him, and the
hope is that he'll end up being a twenty thirty
type and last year throughout two levels low A in
High A, he had to combined nine homers thirty twenty
nine stolen bases, walked it an above average clip of

(25:34):
twelve percent, struck out at only nineteen percent, And more
importantly to me is swinging strike great combined through both
levels with single digits, So that is huge shown that
that hit tool is legit. He was out of high
school too, so it wasn't as if in A and
High A his first full professional year he was well,

(25:56):
he was a very age appropriate So I think you'll
look good out there in America Park center field in
a two years.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
What do you think I think he will too. He
he drives a ball all over the park and a
lot of line drive, so you can in that park
you can see triples, but most parks a lot of
doubles and then little underspin gets under a few balls
are gonna go over the wall as well. So yeah,
I think the twenty thirty is accurate. You're not your
nokle Winn expecting regular to thirty home run seasons from him,

(26:27):
but great contact skills, hard worker really wants to to
improve and kind of get to the next level and
do well at the next level. And you know, one
of the young guys in that system that's going to
force the decisions, you know, sooner than later. You know,
probably not this year, unless it's a cup of coffee
at the end of the year. Is a really great year.

(26:49):
But you know, I think a year from now we'll
be talking about, you know, kind of his debut in
there a lot of speeds, It covers a lot of
ground in the center field. I guess the always look
as comfortable as you could out there, but coming in
and coming out of high school rather he was great
as a very high defensive center fielder. So knowing how

(27:09):
Hardy works at everything, I don't think that's going to
be an issue. They do have Parker Meadows out there,
so it's going to be fun to although there's a
lot of ground to cover, so room for both of
them outfield.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
Beer League, Softball and ever rover they could.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Medos is strong enough fire to play right field as well,
so that could be so yeah, I think we'll see
Max Clark considerably higher on this list next year too.
The other thing I was gonna throw is lazarro Montees.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Okay, who.

Speaker 3 (27:41):
I do have my show notes up. We did talk
about for all of twenty seconds outfielders, which is interesting.
We talked a lot about him when we were ranking
the outfielders. I remember, I love the power and the
power our potential. And then there's a lot of people

(28:02):
who are just concerned about the contact rate and the
swing and the miss and you know kind of what
we hard to project. You know, a nineteen year old
who played single A in High A last year, but
he's been a masher with really highest selecting averages everywhere
he's been. Had one hundred and five RBIs between the

(28:24):
two stops last year. So it's not just hitting but
kind of the clutch hitting as well. Does strike out.
It was twenty three percent of the time overall last year,
but twenty nine percent in High A. I of course,
I am going to be worried about the hit tool.
I'm I was always worried when the hit tool's not there. However,

(28:47):
for some reason, I'm just more in love with his
power than I'm concerned about the hit tool. And then
apple are Yeah, other people exactly the other way, like,
I can't hit it, what's the what you know? What's
what's what's the point? You know? Where are you falling
on that?

Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah? It all depends. I guess I don't have a
traditional opinion or a consistent O. I'm not consistent when
it comes to a lot of things, unfortunately, But in
this I will say that, uh, you know, his high
he's got a reasonable strikeout right, you know, And when

(29:22):
I see those mid twenties strikeouts and above, I have
to look at the swinging strike rate because if they're
swinging in the teen mid upper teens, that's where I
get concerned, especially at these lower levels, and at High
A he was sixteen percent last year. That's not terrible still,
but it is of concern, So it's just one to

(29:47):
keep watching. I also think that Everett plays a little
bit more better friendly. I think it's ever one of
their it's either lower or High A. Always get confused
on those Hya. Yeah, the HYA plays a little bit
more had friendly, So it's not surprising to me that
he has strong numbers there offensively, but it as far

(30:11):
as I'm aware, it doesn't play much into the swinging
strike rate, and so you know that at least is
a positive that it was improved at High A as well.
So I'm cautiously optimistic and you can tell that I'm
lower than the group. I had him at forty six
compared to the nineteen that everyone else, So I am

(30:33):
not as high, but I'm definitely still you know, top
fifty prospects pretty smooth, especially at the A level as
a corner outfielder. That's you know, that's a reasonably good
ranking overall.

Speaker 3 (30:47):
Ye, anybody else in this group on.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
The top twenty, No, we are I just had Jordan
Loeller highlighted.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
All right, let's go to twenty one to thirty. A
lot of familiar names here, Travis Bizana, Nick Kurtz, Jack Kegley,
Noan Lea Dallas, Dereees, Chase Burns, Hagen Smith, Dalton Rushing,
JJ Weatherholt, he's just my day in. Kumar Rocker familiar
because there's a lot of FIPD here that we've talked

(31:20):
about both as FIPD and then during the positionals, as
well as a few pictures we've talked about in the
past couple of weeks. But looks like Kumar Rocker is
gonna make the team out of spring training large, you know,
thanks to because of door open, because of injuries. I

(31:40):
don't I don't want to be positive about injuries, but
they've got a couple of gaps in the rotation, and
right now he looks like he's trying to make the
most of it. Any thoughts on him or anybody in
this group.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yeah, I mean Kumar we talked about last week. I
know I do remember that.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
Luckily.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Yeah, if he's making it, that's awesome. Cheers, And I
hope he's able to stay healthy because, as you talked about,
he's a lot of fun to watch and he's had
a story to get this far. So here's to twenty
twenty five and our number thirty prospect. The name I

(32:21):
was going to bring up is Leo Devrees. I had
him in my top ten at number seven the group
and him at twenty four, and I gotta ask, Drew,
why what am I missing that you are so low
on him? Because you had him barely in your top

(32:41):
one hundred.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
Oh, I was hoping you were going to call sorry, no, no,
you know what. I had him lower on the shortstop ranking,
and then when I did the whole overall ranking and
then again pulled it, pulled the same thing you did
for the first hundred to show went some overall rankings
and pulled out the prospects. The only thing I don't
have about him was when I was doing my original

(33:05):
rankings early in the ranking season, I just felt there
was not enough data to put him over some guys
I had him before.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
Okay, okay, fair.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
But it's it's if I were to do it again
next month, I know he'll be higher than where I
have him. I don't think I know it wouldn't be
as high as you have him. I don't. I don't
see m as a top ten prospect yet. You know
I probably have him, well, I probably have him about
where he used. Now we should probably pull him up
probably the next year, probably the big anchor in that one.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
So it happens, It happens with the process.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
It happened to the process, right, Yeah, And you know
I kind of saw somebody and then you forget about him,
and you kind of don't go back and goads completely reasonable.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Yeah yeah. And then when we look at it, you know,
to for our listeners, when we look at it, we
don't look at everyone's individual list. We look at the
combined consensus ranks. And so when Devrees settles in at
twenty four, yeah, you know, obvious some of us, myself
have him way higher. But I'm not going to ruffle
too many feathers about that because of this whole process

(34:06):
and eliminating biases, so it makes sense that sometimes he
things to get shuffled and then don't get realized that
one person was accidentally having a too low. I like
Leo DeVries a lot of very complete game, great eye
for such a young age. He was seventeen this year
at Low A and had almost a fourteen percent walk rate.

(34:30):
Contact rate is okay, but again you're talking about a
seventeen year old playing ball against people probably three four
years older than him. He more than held his own
in the Alfile this past year as well, which really
cemented him into that top ten. For me, I realized
that it's a strong hitting environment. But again you're there

(34:53):
he's facing more double A, triple A pitchers, so even
more advanced player, and I don't have his AFL stats
in front of me. I know he wasn't you know,
an MVP runner for that league, but he was definitely
succeeding in an age versus competition sort of concept. So

(35:16):
to me, I am not moving Leo DeVries off of
my roster for anything short of a lot.

Speaker 3 (35:24):
Wow. Yeah, and I'm sure I was looking at I know,
I was, you know, a seventeen year old who played
in seventy five games, and that's all the data we had.
And so you know, there's a lot of guys with
above average chitols and above average power grades on the list,
and I just because I was just kind of looking

(35:46):
through the stats, he just kind of kept, you know,
falling down in the sorting. Wow, thanks for picking the
one name.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Well, the way the way I combine them is I
put our ranks. You know, I can't obviously screen share
with you the pod, but I do actually look up
and so I have my column of Drew's rank, Knox Rank,
Tdg's rank, and I just you know, ninety five to
the next to a seven, next to a twenty four,
it jumps out to.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Me, Yeah, all right, moving right along thirty one to forty. Uh,
we have a Chase Dolander, Travis Deicora, Charlie Condon, Kevin McGonagall,
Brandon Sproute, Connor Griffin, Ronnie Murcio, Christian Moore, Thomas White
Chill sway to Paula, which is really an interesting grouping.

(36:36):
Who do you like in there?

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Oh my gosh, can I talk about Connor Griffin some more.
Oh please, can I talk about his amazing spring training.
It's if you haven't seen the homer. It was like
a week or so ago. Now, I mean the guy
he was still kind of rigid in the box, but
he just seemingly effortlessly just so lots at opposite field

(37:02):
and I'm excited to see him, you know, not in
the spring training scenario. And then there was another highlight
from a couple of days ago where he runs down
you know this great it looks like a gapper and
he plays it perfectly in center field. So Connor Griffin
is my target in the FYPDS. And yeah, he's he's

(37:27):
jewel worthy in my opinion here and this year is
going to be a lot of fun watching him, hopefully
as he cuts his teeth through a couple levels.

Speaker 3 (37:36):
All right, this one was brought to you by the club. Yeah,
I just want to highlight Chase Dolander. Who if you
the year he came out. I guess a year ago
you were picking late in the f IPD and got
stuck with that guy from who got drafted by Colorado.
I think he made out. I'm I'm getting off my

(38:00):
anti Colorado pitcher bias. Uh not blind to the statistics
shows it's difficult to pitch there. But he's just got
some great stuff and he showed it last year and
he's showing it from the reports I'm beating in spring training.
As I put up, he's only pitched a few innings
in six innings in games, but a lot of talk

(38:24):
that you know, he'll be making his debut at some
point this year. Uh And and so we'll kind of
see what so what we've got there, not a lot
in front of him in Colorado. Uh So the opportunity
will be there, but more importantly, you know, the stuff
is there. And I think that overlooking him because he's

(38:46):
in the Colorado system is going to prove to be
a mistake. And he's you know, he's not gonna surpass
you know, job or painter or anybody like that, but
he's going to be a very good pitcher and and
show maybe for the first year or two you kind
of spot him for the road starts you've been doing
weekly daily lineups. But I'm really I'm really kind of

(39:08):
anxious to see, you know, what he can do and
how that plays in the majors.

Speaker 2 (39:14):
Yeah, I mean, he looks like a strong, you know,
front end starter. Probably not ace as you said, because
there will be a Colorado impact of some extent, right,
But I mean for four plus pitches or average or
better or above average. But that's what I'm trying to

(39:34):
say there. It is, sorry, but four above average pitches
from him. Yeah, he's I'm a little bit lower, I
think than many in the on the team, but I'm
not out and he's still He's top word I have
in my head him at thirty five. I'm not looking

(39:55):
to trade for him because I think.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
He he's tough.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
He's tough. The future is not certain. He will be
up this year, that's almost, you know, guarantee. I think
it's I hope he's one of the first consistently successful
pictures for probably the actually I should say first consistently
successful pitcher for the Rockies. This would be nice to

(40:22):
get that monkey off their back, for certain.

Speaker 3 (40:25):
It'd be good to see for that. Yeah, for the program,
but also for the young man. And we talked about
Brandon Sproute a couple of weeks ago, so you don't
have to go too deep on that. But again, the
door looks, you know, open for him as well. In
that system. He's in the Mets system. So he maybe
somebody else that we see sooner than later and then

(40:47):
jump the next one or anybody else.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I mean, I see we have Kirsten Kirsten Heston Kerstad.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
Sorry about that, he's right at the top of the
next group. Oh my bad, All right, great segue, all
right less. So for fifty we have Heston Krestad, followed
by Zey Heir, Hope, Moises Biosteros, Quinn Matthews or Elvis Martinez,
Colson Montgomery, Chased the Louder, Zebbie Matthews, camp Smith, and

(41:18):
Jarlin Susanna. So Heston Kurestad the enigma.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I'm glad that there's no one in my life that
hates me as much as the Orioles Brass hates mister Kerstad.
I it's weird. They called him up what seemed early,
right in what was at twenty three and to twenty three,
and he performed admirably in a very small sample, and

(41:47):
everyone was jumping on the Krestad train. I think he
was like the top overall pick or top three pick
the year he was drafted too, And that's not really
relevant anymore. But and it's like the the the team,
the organization was just like, yeah, you did really well,
We're just not gonna give you an opportunity again. For

(42:11):
all of last year, it was just this tease almost
at the major league level every time. And then this
past offseason, who they signed? They signed, uh, Tyler O'Neill,
I think they re signed. Did they resign O'Hearn to
a longer contract or someone else that they brought into
our lockdown to them further block him?

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (42:35):
Yeah, And so it's just I want to see this
guy get consistent opportunities. They said in the off season
that I think they were he was going to play
into their plans or something along those lines, and I'll
see it when I believe it. All. I guess what
I'm getting that here is, don't give up hope on him.
If you've got him roster, don't sell him yet, just

(42:57):
hopefully something trade or who knows, don't give up the
ship yet.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
Yeah. You know what this reminds me of, on a
slightly different well, on a different level, Kyle Tucker, who
I had rostered as a prospect for a long time.
The Astros really took a long time before they called
him up, and you know, he's had a good career
and kind of moved down to Chicago and he's looking

(43:23):
at free agency and blah blah blah. So people may
not remember, but those of us who had him roster
were like scratching his heads, like what are you doing?
And it's I feel that way about Qsted right now. Again,
he's not as highly regarded as Tucker was, but for
everything you just said, it's like, this guy could help
your team right now, what are you doing? Holing back?

(43:47):
So yeah, I look looking here, and again I'm higher
on a player now than I was when we did
our rankings, you know, ten days ago. But the more
I read about Quinn Matt Fuse, the more I like him.
And I think that for a picture in this range,

(44:08):
he has a lot of value. I think that, what
do you lead the Miners in strikeouts last year?

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Yeah? I think I believe. So he's also probably an
Indians too, I.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Think, yeah, one hundred and forty three innings, which if
it didn't lead the Miners is going to be very
very close. I mean he's ready, he's ready to pitch
in the majors tomorrow. Fastball, slider, decent curve, very good change, up,
and his velocity has gotten better every year, and I
think that's what you know, I didn't realize till until

(44:39):
lately kind of what increase has happened there that appears
to be sustainable. So with his pitch mix and added velocity,
he could be a real sneaky find. And you know,
if you can kind of put together a package and
not give up too much to get him, you know,
this is probably the time he got him because as uh,

(45:01):
he may take off after the first few starts this
year and if he finished, if he starts the way
he finished last year, and it's been pitching him so
far the spring.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
Yeah, and those who don't have him rostered, I imagine
he's rostered in vast, vast majorities, maybe some shallower leagues.
He is Matthews with one T if you're looking for
him as well, just to mention that. But yeah, that
velocity increase and he just chugged right up to the

(45:32):
Cardinals system. So yeah, it's it's a train. It's chugging
along for sure.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Any names you want to pull from this groups.

Speaker 2 (45:49):
You know, I'm I've mentioned him before, Moyes is Bilastaros.
I you know, it's been a relatively quiet spring training
for him, but he could be up this year as well.
The kids. He's a baseball player. Hopefully you can stick
behind the plate. He's just another one that people might

(46:11):
start any prospects fatigue with, and if so, I would
just hold him still pretty tight to him.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
And I've heard whisperings that cam Smith may be forcing
the issue in Houston, although I don't see it happening
right away.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Yeah, he was actually just taken. We're in around twenty
one or so my r TGFBI and he got drafted.
The owner commented why is because he was batting forth
amongst their regulars and in the outfield today, So that's

(46:47):
I don't see it yet. I mean to learn a
completely new position in your first full professional year, that's
impressive if it happens, but I don't know if it'll happen.

Speaker 3 (47:00):
For those who don't know, that's a redraft league, fifteen teams. Yeah,
a very deep bench. That's a really risky pick. That is,
you get him for one stash in that league.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
So I think Christian not a good spring training. Campbell
is still on the board when camp Smith was taken.
So just to give some perspective there. What was going on?

Speaker 3 (47:23):
Well, I'm really hoping Campbell starts the season in Triple
A because I have a ticket for the opening weekend
of the Triple A.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Oh yeah, there you go, way to go.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
You you made that. I'll probably get fin Wayne June.
So hope you get called up later in June so
I can see him there too. But yeah, yeah, anybody
else before we go to the last question.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Oh, we're already moving on to the last question. Yeah,
that's oh my goodness.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
We went through the fifty.

Speaker 2 (47:51):
Yeah, we did.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
Like we said, We've got the top two hundred. It'll
be on the website this week.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
Oh and and yeah, thank you for that segue. Top
two hundreds on the way website tomorrow morning, Friday morning.
But if you join our discord, maybe this is what
you're going to say that I just cut you off, sorry, Drew.
For those who are in our discord, or if you're
considering donating to join and gain access to the discord,
you would also get all four hundred and thirty ranked prospects,

(48:21):
which when you have six different people ranking two hundred,
you get some leftovers that aren't ranked, and those trickle
down to the bottom. So we still looked at them,
we still talked about them, we still thought about them.
So yeah, it's a it's a well thought out, very
deep list. But that four hundred and thirty is only

(48:41):
four people in our discord.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
Yeah, so join up, get that list and just kind
of lose yourself looking up these names and try to
remember them all. And I still had like that list
like like four years ago when I was, you know,
made my donation, got the list and you talk abou
Jordan Rosen me like five hundred two names on his
or something like. I love just going through that and
seeing what names kind of like we're deep on the list, like, oh,

(49:06):
I've heard of that guy. Now there there's a lot
that you never hear of again. But I thinks so fun,
it's a lot of fun. All right, Chris knock the
last questions and I have to loast him one at
the time. Okay, right, which player or players? If you
want to pick a couple outside of the top the

(49:27):
consensus top one hundred, not your own, better start scrolling
yep out. We'll be in the top twenty a year
from now.

Speaker 2 (49:36):
Oh I like that outside of the consensus top one
hundred will be in the top twenty a year from now. Well,
I'm going to kind of cheat and start at one
oh one and scroll on down. I think Moys's chase
definitely could uh seeing him at one oh two. He's

(49:57):
got the opportunity to fly up. We talked about him
last week. H So what I'm would be looking for
is someone who is going to either be a dominant
ace right who's gonna be Quinn Matthews like a cent
or someone who is going to be on the offensively

(50:19):
very dynamic, or have a tool pop. I think a
surprising one. I'll go with not a guy. I really
would have planned on flag pilanting here, but at one
twenty two. Argin Nomala shortstop in Toronto. The kid's got
big power and he's got a defensive glove, so you
could probably stick at shortstop. It seems like it's all

(50:41):
about his hit tool, so if that clicks, he can
skyrocket up Arginnamala there Toronto. If I'm gonna go even lower,
George Lombard Juniors had an awesome spring. He's another kind
of hit tool guy, and then you throw in the
Yankee boost. I'll say he's my second batter that could

(51:06):
skyrocket up. Who do you do? You have names locked
and loaded?

Speaker 3 (51:11):
I have two, and I cheated, And I didn't know
I was cheating at the time.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
Because I'm just answering this as we hearing it the
first time.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Well, right, but no, I had highlighted who I thought
was number one hundred and one. Then I realized that
because our list starts at number two, because I got
a header on the number one, he's actually number one hundred.
That's all right, it's my man, Theo Gillan, who you
remember in the FIPD. I actually loved great hit tool

(51:43):
and great power. But we have at number one hundred
and seven. I think Tramar Johnson, the forgotten first round pick,
had a really good fall tournament, and I think he's
got the tools, and I think that he has not
shown it. He has been disappointing so far. I think

(52:07):
he's gonna I think he's gonna break out. I think
he's the guy we're gonna go whoa. He's who they
thought he was when they drafted him in the in
the first round. He's got a lot of speed and
been shown a little bit of pop and he's you know,
he's gonna plant my flag on the tomorrow Johnson in
that one, and the other name is I'm coming around

(52:28):
to Bruce Rainier, who when he was drafted I thought
would be better on the field player than fantasy. But
he's to shortstop who the Tigers drafted in the first
round top twenty. Is aggressive, but I think he's gonna
be pushing it, if not all the way up there.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
Can I tell you a secret yep? Tomorrow night, Friday
night is my home league's FYPD. I have like pick
three and then pick fIF teen or something like that.
I'm hoping to get right near at fifteen. That's my

(53:06):
that's my goal or my secret target there. If he
sticks around, we'll see.

Speaker 3 (53:14):
So I should try to get this up aymorrow afternoons.
That's fine.

Speaker 2 (53:19):
You know some of my league gates, they definitely do listen.
One of them works with my wife and has told
her that, Yeah, I listened to him just to get an.

Speaker 3 (53:29):
Inside into his head.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
That's not surprising.

Speaker 3 (53:34):
Well, I got a date, chop, so that's not gonna happen. Okay,
good right.

Speaker 2 (53:38):
I found my ace or my top twenty guy who's
gonna skyrocket. It's a name we've mentioned. It's a name
I've I don't want to say pimped before, but definitely,
you know, I'm a big all aboard the Ryan Sloan train.
First year player, also drafted by the Mariners, which is

(54:01):
the organization to be drafted by as a pitcher. He's
a high school guy, so he's definitely has that projectability.
He's big, he's thick already out of high school. This guy,
he's going to be the trap. I see him getting
that Travis Zykora rise in the ranks. And actually a

(54:22):
friend of mine, not to steal Bill's thunder here, but
he actually mentioned that when he's like, this is the
next Psychora, and I totally agree with it because he's
got He's just this looks like a starting pitcher. He's
not quite as tall, but heck, he's only nineteen. Maybe
I'll sprout another inch or two. But yeah, Ryan Sloan,

(54:42):
if he can progress through a couple of through a
couple of levels in his first year, definitely will be
getting that top twenty five treatment on a lot of lists.

Speaker 3 (54:51):
And then right next to him is another picture, Yanniel
Curette in the Tampa Bay system who needs to get
his control under command, so to speak, But if he does,
he could be really good. But yeah, too many, too
many control issues at the moment to plant the flight
two are there, but I was looking to slow in

(55:12):
a soccerret's name right next to him, So I just
want to throw out that out there too. Yep, all right,
and Part B the final question, The final final question,
Chris Knock outside of the top two hundred. Oh yeah,
who will be in the top one hundred a year
from now?

Speaker 2 (55:32):
Okay, the first one I landed on is Brailan Pain
Milwaukee Brewers. Definitely getting a hype train. I guess we'll
give the non donating listeners a taste that Braylon Pain
is at are two fifteen, just outside. He's getting a
lot of hype. He's looking to be a dynamic outfielder speed.

(55:56):
He's another We hope power will come and that it's
entirely possible. You know, obviously, this is the third or
fourth time I've brought up prospects like that. If I
actually looked back at some of the notes that I have,
or you know, early scouting reports on a lot of players,
I'm sure there's plenty where initially out of high school
they were scouted as we dream on the power or

(56:18):
something similar, so that's not unheard of. That's a tool
that you don't mind showing up later, especially as they're growing.
These are teenagers by and large, So Braylan Payne Milwaukee Brewers.
That's my not so sneaky choice. A couple below him,
I would go Johnny Lovell, San Francisco Giants. We have

(56:42):
him at two twenty four. He's a shortstop. He started
popping near the end of last year. I'm trying to
pull him up as I'm talking, because again I was
not prepared for this.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Let's see.

Speaker 2 (56:53):
He's not a huge guy, so that is one concern.
But in the DSL he walked at fourteen percent only
struck out sixteen percent. Those are both very strong signs.
And he hit ten home runs as a seventeen year old,
so he'll be stateside this year, probably getting pretty free
almost in a lot of medium size like fifteen teamers. Still,

(57:18):
if you're one to like just have that little plugin
chug and you know at the end of your minor
league bench, that's a great name in my opinion. Johnny
Lovell for a return on investment sort of concept.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
The pitcher. I have it this rate we had at
number two to eleven. I think I mentioned his name
briefly last week, but it's Jade and Ham of the
Detroit Tigers, who in high A last year pitched across
I'll just had it. Ninety nine innings, struck out one
hundred and twenty two and at one point zero five

(57:56):
whip similar to he's got four pitches, he throws your strokes.
Similar profile to rhes Olsen who is going to be
their SP three and gets drafted, and a lot of
fifteen teen redrafts, so valuable kind of fantasy asset. Again,
I don't think Jaydon Ham is a top ten but
somebody who I think we may be looking at the

(58:18):
top one hundred from a pitching perspective. That's who I
had singled out. And then the hitter we had down
at number two twenty seven, I believe Enrique Bradfield Junior,
another Oriol outfielder, six seventy so big guy. I probably
ways one one seventy now we've talked about that before.

(58:40):
Eighty grade speed and sixty five hit tools, so he's
not not projected to be a big power guy, but
drafted out of Vanderbilt project to have a good batting average,
good speed, so get to the stolen bases as well.
I know players a lot of power don't rocket up

(59:01):
the list real fast, so that might kind of depress
his ranking a little bit, but I think the ability
to get on base and the ability to make things
happen when he does. He sold seventy four bases last
year across two different levels. That's going to catch a
lot about the eyes of a lot of people. So
different profile than most of the other guys coming up
through Baltimore, but Enriki Bradfield Junior is my guy to

(59:24):
watch outside our top two hundred right now.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
And one thing I'll say about him is a speedster
without much power, is that his line drive rate is
in the mid twenties at twenty three percent. I accidentally
scrolled and now I've lost it. But that's pretty decent
if he can in his home run rate, I'm sorry,

(59:47):
home run rate. His fly ball rate is less than
thirty was less than thirty percent last year throughout the
minor leagues. I kind of like that for a speedster
who doesn't have power, Keep the ball low, keep hitt
it hort hit it not into the ground but along
the ground and just let your legs do the rest
of the work. Those are decent rates in my opinion

(01:00:10):
for someone who doesn't have a lot of power.

Speaker 3 (01:00:12):
All Right, any last thoughts, that was too short? Well,
we try to keep these to an hour, and I'm
looking at the You.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
Do a good job. You do a good job. Otherwise, yeah,
we'd lose listeners.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
Well, next up, Chris, it's time to bring out and
dust off and pull out this year's version of the
JTR thirty Oh boy. For those of you who maybe knew,
that's our running list of the most overlooked prospect in
each organization, players who are under rostered on fan tracks
that you're gonna want to pick up before the rest

(01:00:50):
of the league catches on. And we've talked about switching
leaks this year, so if you still have years from
from last year, and it's if you scroll back, you'll
find it on our websites that posted it the full
list every time we talked about the podcast each month
last last season. It's up there. But we'll have a
whole new list this season again, one prospect from each

(01:01:11):
organization who is grossly under rostered and the most overlooked
and therefore worthy of our JT thirty list, so look
for that soon on your favorite podcast player. Thank you
in advance for listening to that, and thank you for
all our listeners for spending time with us, all of

(01:01:32):
you around the world. We know your time is valuable
and thank you for spending time with it with us. Chris,
have a wonderful week. Great talking to you again.

Speaker 2 (01:01:41):
Yeah, it was a pleasure, and I look forward to
next week and the JTR thirty.

Speaker 3 (01:01:46):
Here we go. All right, everybody take care and hey,
remember tell your friends, don't keep all this good stuff
to yourself. Be well.

Speaker 1 (01:01:55):
Everybody, join the ranks. It's produced and edited by Drew Klein.

Speaker 4 (01:02:17):
Hey, everybody, before you go, I gotta tell you about
my buddy Nathan, Mister Dynasty one Stop, the one stop
shopper for all your Dynasty leagues. Are you considering a
new fantasy baseball league but don't know where to start?
Nate's got your back. Total draft degenerate that just wants
to do some bestball leagues. Do a d one s
Nita shoulder to cry on. You'd have to ask, but
he's a nice dude. Maybe you could come to some

(01:02:38):
sort of arrangement. In any case, here's the deal, people,
I'm the commissioner of four leagues across multiple sports and
it's a crap ton of work. I don't do it anymore.
I get it. It's crazy, but Nate has this down
to a t. Every league I do with him is seamless,
from creating the perfect league settings to gathering fees, to
draft scheduling, to recruiting managers and whatever else do does

(01:03:01):
it all for a small fee that you can read
more about on his website Dynasty one stop dot com. Seriously,
he takes care of everything. Check out Dynasty one stop
dot com to learn more. That's Dynasty one spelled out
stop dot com.
