Hell yea! Love that. Happy Story hit big already and hopefully a few of those other guys make splashes in the majors soon too.

Thanks I appreciate it. I found your articles last year and grabbed Story , Aj reed last year with $0 bids. I now have Calhoun , Fisher , Bradley , Robles , Hader all for nothing . Thanks to your insight and all before the hype train came in.

I think I would make that deal. It seems the other owner is selling low on two super talented guys because they didn’t set the world on fire in MLB right away, but he is obviously getting back a great prospect in Benintendi. This one obviously isn’t for the faint of heart, and there is tons of risk on all sides, but I would want the two lottery tickets instead of just one.

No need to be sorry! There should be disagreement when it comes to prospects. I had Willie Calhoun, Harrison Bader, Josh Hader, Tyler O’Neill, Derek Fisher etc … ranked very high already way back in January/February, when nobody was talking about those guys at all. My list was anything but normal. I had Trevor Story ranked 30th and was again another player that was barely ranked at all on other lists. Obviously these guys have started to get hype now, and I guess are seen as “normal.”

Guys like Eloy Jimenez, Chase Vallot, Chris Shaw, Ronald Guzman, Travis Demeritte, Christin Stewart, Josh Ockimey, Phil Bickford etc … were not on any top 100 lists when I wrote mine. There were no mid-season lists out at all at the time I put this out. All of these guys are new names and many others are too, so I’m not even sure what “norm” you are referring to.

As for the guys you mention, these are all talented prospects and some good prospects are inevitably going to get left out on a top 100. Cisco got dinged for a lack of current power. Healy has a line drive swing and will be playing in a pitcher’s park in Oakand. Hoskins could have easily cracked the list and his numbers are eye popping, but I don’t think he is actually this good and he plays at a deep position.

He is probably similar to Taillon, where he can very quickly become one of the very top pitching prospects in a hurry if he can stay healthy and pitch well. Only problem is that he will be pitching in the AL East, so for fantasy, he might not be able to rise quite as high as Taillon did.

How far up the list could Harvey move should he prove healthy? Thanks.

He was literally right there. He missed the cut with a bunch of other 1B like Rhys Hoskins, Rowdy Tellez, Trey Mancini, and Jake Bauers. I like them all and maybe I dinged them too much for being 1B. Their values are basically even with a bunch of guys on the back end of the list.
