[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the baseball Insiders Prospect Show.

[SPEAKER_01]: I am Adam Wyner of Join by Eric Cole, our Prospect Guru.

[SPEAKER_01]: But we are now live on YouTube.

[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome to the show.

[SPEAKER_01]: And Eric, it is Prospect Week.

[SPEAKER_00]: It is prospect week and it's a time for us to look at what the organizations have kind of how things have settled after the trade deadline promotions.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see some September call-ups.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see some call-ups.

[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see some now the archeology bullies in this fairly concern.

[SPEAKER_00]: But not a lot.

[SPEAKER_00]: A lot more this movement that happens within the minor league system.

[SPEAKER_00]: And again, it's a kind of a chance for us to take a breath and look at kind of what's going on with the systems and see where they all rank up.

[SPEAKER_00]: So I really enjoyed this time of year where all these like re-wrenks come out and we get a bunch of new information.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we appreciate everybody joining us the MLB pipeline list.

[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, updated with the drafties this week.

[SPEAKER_01]: They've officially hit the list, the list is shifting and some big names who you were all excited to see have moved on up.

[SPEAKER_01]: But again, the drafties, some of them popping into that top twenty top thirty will be talking about the people we had our eyes on most heading into the final stretch Robert Murray and I will be live again here on the channel tomorrow at three p.m.

[SPEAKER_01]: Eastern.

[SPEAKER_01]: So join us for that.

[SPEAKER_01]: as we are scaling back slightly, heading towards the weird part of the baseball season and the end of the year.

[SPEAKER_01]: Play off, push into October.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to be live plenty during the big time off season.

[SPEAKER_01]: bubbling, rising, the tide is, is hidden us during the heat of November, December.

[SPEAKER_01]: But for now, it's prospects, season.

[SPEAKER_01]: Now, let's head right to the list.

[SPEAKER_01]: Notable rankings and debuts in the new pipeline list.

[SPEAKER_01]: Ethan Holley at seventeen, Eli Willis at eighteen.

[SPEAKER_01]: In case you had questions about the national's pick, we all did.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of one too, you know, flip those names.

[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe you get to the consensus.

[SPEAKER_01]: Kate in there at twenty two, Seth Hernandez in at twenty seven, what was the most notable debut ranking in your eyes?

[SPEAKER_00]: So this is tough, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Because there's a lot guys that we like a lot and we just assume we're probably gonna be like Luis Panias example where it's like there's been so much hype around him with the growers he was going to make it on list, but he got put pretty high, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: So he's is worth kind of shouting out, but for me, [SPEAKER_00]: Seth Hernandez is ranking is pretty interesting to me.

[SPEAKER_00]: In the article I put out, I mentioned the willets because I didn't think it was funny that Pipeline had him as their fifth ranked draft prospect and now have him as the second highest ranked guy coming out of the draft, but at the same time getting picked number one overall certainly has its perks.

[SPEAKER_00]: But in Seth Fernandez, a lot of people thought he was the most talented player in the draft.

[SPEAKER_00]: And to see a prep righty getting like just thrown right into the top thirdy, speaks a lot to kind of how much talent this kid has, I wouldn't have been surprised if he had ranked higher.

[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, in terms of guys that I'm like, okay, clearly the industry is very still on this guy that he didn't take a ticket taken as highly as maybe some thought he would.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's not anything wrong with him.

[SPEAKER_00]: If he is right now, he has this type of stuff and repertoire that in a years time, being ranked this highly as a debut in the top one hundred might look soft.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like he's a guy who could very easily be a top five, it would even number one overall profit could baseball.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's that kind of special talent assuming it all works out.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we rose to the Seth Hernandez pick at the time just because, you know, a lot of ads on the table for the pirates and a system that needs an infusion of those.

[SPEAKER_01]: But once the dust settled, I think everyone is pretty aligned that, oh, they did get somebody very special here, regardless of how well he fits into the, you know, the prescribed hierarchy of pirates needs that we had all put together outside the organization.

[SPEAKER_01]: They said, let's just get this extremely special kid [SPEAKER_01]: who some agree has one of the best prep arsenals we've ever seen, you know, a joff Beckett for the modern era and the rankings reflect that anybody else, let's say non-drafty edition, you know, we can include, we can include everybody, you know, that the pain and totally is of the world, the risers from throughout the game, anyone you expect it to see rank higher than they actually were when the dust settled on this [SPEAKER_01]: newfound debut.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know Yankee fans, Spencer Jones, you're probably going to have to be happy with ninety-two guys.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if he's getting much higher than that.

[SPEAKER_01]: But anybody else who you said, oh, okay.

[SPEAKER_01]: I see the hype.

[SPEAKER_01]: They see the hype, but that's still a little low.

[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, Jones, probably have been my pick.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just because the numbers are so loud, I'm not saying he would have been like a top twenty-five guy, but I'm kind of surprised he didn't slot in somewhere in the fifties just because, again, when you're talking about the tools in the upside, those got gets a lot of mention.

[SPEAKER_00]: The one that I was like going to have been the the one moot ranking that I was certain of and you were probably certain of as well is that kind of difference number one overall prospect in baseball and clearly they figured that out he is very very good special special talent until he proves otherwise he is the number one prospect in baseball.

[SPEAKER_00]: Beyond that, I mean, again, Benches another guy that I mean, he got put at a twenty.

[SPEAKER_00]: So that's not like he was slighted by any stretch of the imagination.

[SPEAKER_00]: But like the hit tool's been so good.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's already a AAA.

[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he could have been a touch higher.

[SPEAKER_00]: Based on the amount of noise around him, John George Lombard Jr.

[SPEAKER_00]: is another name.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, he got a nice bump.

[SPEAKER_00]: Scouts to sing to love this kid and I was surprised it kind of if you maybe didn't get a little bit more of a month, but the numbers might hold in the held him back a bit there.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I think that most of that got it right.

[SPEAKER_00]: The right guys got bumps.

[SPEAKER_00]: You see like big jumps from sire hope.

[SPEAKER_00]: You see big jumps from, you know, he's his mod A, which should have happened.

[SPEAKER_00]: Like a lot of the names that we have talked about on the show a lot as like rising talents, Jonathan's another example of a guy who just kind of went from nowhere and also and became like a top fifty prospect.

[SPEAKER_00]: baseball.

[SPEAKER_00]: These are the names of tape.

[SPEAKER_00]: Generally got right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is there going to be a little bit of prospect between some guys?

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I think that pipeline had ten or twelve guys fall out of the top one under it.

[SPEAKER_00]: But when you're bringing this made draft to use and you just have it between injuries and guys that have just fallen off, you're going to have some of that attrition.

[SPEAKER_00]: But overall, I think they got pretty close to the right ones.

[SPEAKER_01]: In addition to DePaul and Hope both being in that twenty range, twelve and nineteen, don't think I missed Mike Sorota who just debuted on the top one hundred after going from Cincinnati LA and the Gavin Luxray going all the way up to sixty six.

[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't miss that that rise did not escape my by-per-view.

[SPEAKER_01]: Spencer Jones ahead of Hygan Smith.

[SPEAKER_01]: The comments are acting like that's you know.

[SPEAKER_01]: a bad thing.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I feel like at this point, that's a ranking that a shuffle that you have to make is that it's, you know, it might be jarring at based on the way Jones has been slandered and smits pedigree, but this, that feels right to me right now.

[SPEAKER_01]: Is that not right?

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there are two very flawed, but different players.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm asking you to, I'm asking you to rank an erratic lefty against like a show.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've got, I've got, I've got, yeah.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got who got sent back to extended spring to kind of work on as mechanics and has potential injury issues and then spread your Jones who like sometimes looks like the next coming of Mickey Mantle and sometimes looks like the next coming of Joey Vado and I don't really know what to make of that profile in terms of ranking in against each other's prospects in a lot of ways.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I do think that maybe get putting some sort of, you know, putting some sort of emphasis on upside witness and sense to me.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a it's obviously, you know, we've we've got our eyes on the white sex system and and your boy, Brad Montgomery, all the way up to thirty one.

[SPEAKER_01]: Sorry, thirty three, even better.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's how steward who's at thirty one.

[SPEAKER_01]: So that should be comforting, but Smith's luster and and Jones is rise this year.

[SPEAKER_01]: While we all sort of try to reckon with whatever his package means.

[SPEAKER_01]: It does make sense to me that that is the current order of operations.

[SPEAKER_01]: Any other big time movers, now we're not talking about the people who've risen into the top ten, twenty, but totally stands out.

[SPEAKER_01]: I know we're going to mention him in a bit.

[SPEAKER_01]: Anyone else who you want to talk about who you're surprised to say, okay, that's a that's a bigger jump than I anticipated.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was also surprised that Nolan McLean got as much of a bump as he did.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not overly overwhelmed by his stuff, per se.

[SPEAKER_01]: There are a bunch of, I mean, among the Mets who just got bumped to AAA.

[SPEAKER_01]: There was just a mass exodus from Binghamton to Syracuse for the Mets, presumably because they can't hit Elmer Rodriguez Cruz twice and one week in their frustrated so they all decided to go up there.

[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, McLean and Jet and all those guys now heading to the highest level.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and again, it's not just the guys who made debuts like, for example, a little bit surprised to see Argin and Mala, Mike, make it all the way to fifty one.

[SPEAKER_00]: I like him a lot, but maybe that's a bit of a bigger jump than I would thought.

[SPEAKER_00]: Franklin Arias is another name.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know that a lot of people like him a lot, but that's he got a fifty spot for them.

[SPEAKER_00]: And again, I like the talent there, but at the same time, maybe that, I probably would have had him a little bit lower.

[SPEAKER_00]: I got the real kind of sit down and think about it though, because it's easy to say, I would have had this number on a guy, but once you start putting all the names on a unit paper, you start realizing, okay, actually, I probably would have him a little bit above these three guys, and that puts him in a ranking I didn't expect.

[SPEAKER_00]: So at the same time, I'm like, I think that by playing got it pretty close, but there's some of the jumps I was kind of like, oh, that's interesting.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was, I was happy to see CJ, okay, let's get a little bit of love at the back end of the double hundred.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's very much a, [SPEAKER_00]: a simple creature, but at the same time, one that I enjoyed watching.

[SPEAKER_01]: And is up in the big leagues responsible in part for this Guardian surge.

[SPEAKER_01]: You look at the people who were most excited about the team specific reranks.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think Guardians fans were right up there.

[SPEAKER_01]: That is a deep top third.

[SPEAKER_01]: top core.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and guys like Jason Laviolette comes in at like number.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a draft steal.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a guy you have to load that range.

[SPEAKER_01]: But to think of him as you're, yeah, he's my eighth best prospect.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's a good spot to be in.

[SPEAKER_01]: Like you're not your system isn't relying on Laviolette, but also.

[SPEAKER_01]: right outside that upper echelon.

[SPEAKER_01]: You just have a guy who was the, you know, consensus number one pick entering the college season, hanging out in your system, not bad, which brings me to Travis Pazana, who, hmm, so the Guardians have like a negative run differential.

[SPEAKER_01]: They are closers under gambling investigation.

[SPEAKER_01]: Not sure how they got here after selling off pieces of the deadline, but holding Steven Kwan, but they did.

[SPEAKER_01]: They're digging out of the wild card and tied with the Yankees who've been terrible for two months.

[SPEAKER_01]: In the lost column, [SPEAKER_01]: Bazana, a riser on this list, all who have to have a team at Triple H, called a last week.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's a leap, right?

[SPEAKER_01]: We're asking for a lot here, but what are the odds that he actually does impact this playoff race when Roster's expand and September?

[SPEAKER_00]: I put it at maybe twenty percent.

[SPEAKER_00]: Here's a couple of problems, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: You're absolutely right.

[SPEAKER_00]: Guardians are in it somehow against all odds.

[SPEAKER_00]: They are in the playoff race.

[SPEAKER_00]: And I don't even know if they want to be, but they are.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think the ideally they would like, hey, we actually would prefer to pick a little bit higher next year's draft and then try to go for it next year.

[SPEAKER_00]: But at the same time, they are in it.

[SPEAKER_00]: They need offense for sure, especially given some of the pieces that they've moved.

[SPEAKER_00]: But this is also a team that is notoriously, they don't want to use minor leg options where they don't have to, they don't want to start any guys' clocks until it unless they have to.

[SPEAKER_00]: And more importantly, Bazana, I mean, I understand he keeps getting moved up, but he hasn't playing all that right, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he's hitting two, fourty in the month of August.

[SPEAKER_00]: Is that really the guy that's screaming promote me to the big leagues the year after I get drafted?

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I know that it's been invoked this year.

[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you see what Nick Kurtz has done, you've seen what.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, jack-eyed gloom can be.

[SPEAKER_00]: There's just there are guys who have been promoted pretty quickly.

[SPEAKER_00]: Christian Moore's another example except when he got before he got hurt.

[SPEAKER_00]: You know, these are guys that can impact the, you know, their big league teams relatively quickly, but that doesn't necessarily mean you want to waste him.

[SPEAKER_00]: playoff race that you're kind of a fringe contender anyway like are you really going to call up and start his clock to lose a wild guard series this year which seems pretty likely to me given on like who they'd be up against.

[SPEAKER_00]: I would love Cleveland actually having like as much as I'd make fun of my you know guardians fans friends defer you know their fandoms and how much suffering they've been through it would be great for the city live when I think to have a team to worth cheering for but I just don't think [SPEAKER_00]: that making that move is all likely given given the guardian's track record more than anything else.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think that they might call them up early next year.

[SPEAKER_00]: And if that's the case then that's a team that's going to be really fun to watch.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I just don't think he's pushing hard enough to make them make that so joys.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I think at this juncture that is fine.

[SPEAKER_01]: But want to get your take on it and appreciate you playing.

[SPEAKER_01]: Where is Jacob RC?

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, dominating the major league level, which is where you want to be.

[SPEAKER_01]: You'd rather be there than be on the prospect list.

[SPEAKER_01]: So he is showing MLB pipeline users more respect every day for the [SPEAKER_01]: way too fun way more fun.

[SPEAKER_01]: They should be Miami, Marlins.

[SPEAKER_01]: Um, gonna get to a couple questions before we head into the risers and followers.

[SPEAKER_01]: Just do you think guys like hope and to Paula who we mentioned last year staying high all year and start in double a next year.

[SPEAKER_01]: My guess would be yes.

[SPEAKER_01]: I don't see any reason to rush these people are giving them an early bump.

[SPEAKER_01]: But what are you thinking here?

[SPEAKER_00]: So organizations seem to have two schools of thoughts on this.

[SPEAKER_00]: They like to give guys a little bit of a challenge shortly in the years to kind of see where they aren't, see how they react to it.

[SPEAKER_00]: Well, others are just like, why would we just uproot a guy and send them to a different city to be on a team to like play there for ten games or something like that?

[SPEAKER_00]: And then call it a day.

[SPEAKER_00]: So my hunch is that probably not.

[SPEAKER_00]: I don't it be a little different if you were [SPEAKER_00]: putting guys in a position to be close to being called up to the big leagues, but I don't think hi to double a is going to be that push, but particularly for those two guys specifically, I could see both of these guys competing for a roster spot in Springtrain next year.

[SPEAKER_01]: And our friend, RG, Red Sox, A team just thinks Garcia call up this season.

[SPEAKER_01]: He is a favorite of this podcast if he's playing first base.

[SPEAKER_01]: It makes a lot of sense.

[SPEAKER_01]: The Abraham Toro experience may be coming to a rickety close, although he Homer yesterday, because of course he did, because every time he started talking about a red sock, who should maybe get the emphasis or lose their job, they hit like three homers in a week.

[SPEAKER_01]: But Garcia at first could be a game changer, especially long-term, especially next year when we know this job will not be handed back to Tristan Cossus, and just the Cossus may not be ready to grab it.

[SPEAKER_01]: So my inclination is next year, not September, but I don't know, what do you think?

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's theoretically possible, but this nothing that Greg Breslow does screams if that's something that he would do.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even sure he likes this team.

[SPEAKER_00]: If I'm just being honest about him, I think he like they're succeeding almost despite themselves in a lot of ways.

[SPEAKER_00]: If they're close enough at the beginning of September to where like if they really feel like they just they really need somebody else at first base to get into the playoffs, then maybe you give the not to Garcia, but I just don't necessarily think that's gonna happen.

[SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of with you.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's gonna be next year.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I think the first base wraps put himself firmly in the mix.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's the one area where the Red Sox step chart is not confusing.

[SPEAKER_01]: Apologies to Tristan causes, but right now, they need help there.

[SPEAKER_01]: If you can provide it, you're going to go there.

[SPEAKER_01]: So if you're outfielder with the Red Sox, I am sorry.

[SPEAKER_01]: But if you're a first basement, the path is somewhat somewhat [SPEAKER_01]: cleared unless they show faith and cost us, but I would suspect, you don't want to sell low, but maybe we're going to make some, some movement there and, and a job is up for grabs.

[SPEAKER_01]: All right, let's go to the risers and followers and this week's followers include a name who rose up pipelines list.

[SPEAKER_01]: Let's go with the hottest trio of the week first.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, fun grouping of names this week.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, it would have been easy to pick a name like, you know, names that we've talked about before, you know, Connor Griffin had another great week, a lot of the names we've talked about.

[SPEAKER_00]: But I wanted to give a shout out to Thomas White.

[SPEAKER_00]: Had a really good start last week, struck out nine batters over six innings.

[SPEAKER_00]: Only gave up one hit, no walks.

[SPEAKER_00]: pitching prospects that I think we probably need to give a little bit more credit to in the future.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's just one of those guys who continues to impress and despite being, you know, [SPEAKER_00]: relatively under the radar in that system where you have guys like a couple of Chandler getting a lot of the headlines.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's a guy that I'm keeping eye on and he'd look really good last week.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yankees prospect mainly just because Adams my boss and I want to make sure that I'm giving proper look to the Yankees possible.

[SPEAKER_00]: Emma Rodriguez Cruz made two starts last week, thirteen in his pitch, only get up five hits total, four walks total, and fifteen strikeouts, which is pretty much all you can really ask for from a guy when there's no runs involved.

[SPEAKER_00]: And then last one of the Rangers and be like Ortiz, we've talked a bit about him before.

[SPEAKER_00]: of kind of fascinating prospect in terms of like a bit streaky, but when he is on, he's really on and last week he was very much on.

[SPEAKER_00]: When eight for sixteen last week, scored eight runs, hit four home runs, thirteen RBI's, two walks against four strikeouts.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, fun bat to watch for Rangers fans.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know that a lot of people like to talk about Sebastian Walker and some of the young guys at the big league level, but Ortiz is another game to keep an eye on.

[SPEAKER_01]: Elmer Rodriguez Cruz also did it against the rumble ponies twice.

[SPEAKER_01]: He matched up with Jonah Tong twice.

[SPEAKER_01]: He threw shutties twice.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I learned this week that he is someone I more enthusiastic about every time he starts, you know, very interesting with our motion, you know, tall, lanky, righty, with good stuff.

[SPEAKER_01]: despite what TJ stats says or whatever.

[SPEAKER_01]: And the other thing I learned is that Red Sox fans remain utterly humorless, because I posted the Carl's, their vise is hitting one, ninety one over the last month.

[SPEAKER_01]: And no Red Sox fans mentioned this trade in a while.

[SPEAKER_01]: And then they were all like, we're drinking his cruises in double a you can't genuinely be saying the Red Sox went into lands like guys, guys.

[SPEAKER_01]: guys we're doing jokes okay we're doing little goofs and also sometimes you have to give to get in trades it would actually not be the worst thing in the world of both sides got a valuable piece the Red Sox needed to catch her the Yankees were at a catching log jam and if Austin Wells didn't suck this wouldn't look like quite so lopsided trade but I do think he rc's a valuable piece and I think Yankees fans are happy with their return and if Narvaya's knees bothering him and we may have already seen the best for him this year he's looking a little bit more like a really good defender [SPEAKER_01]: that questionable great backup lately rather than a franchise capture.

[SPEAKER_01]: Just saying we have yet to decide where this trade lands, but I had a lot of Red Sox fans in my mentioned yesterday off of basically a tongue-in-cheat tweet, a thirty-game sample size.

[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously we're not waving the flag.

[SPEAKER_01]: But one of them said to me that there was only like one Red Sox fan on Twitter who was obsessed with the Yankees.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I want to congratulate that guy on having smart friends, but I promise you.

[SPEAKER_01]: That is not true.

[SPEAKER_01]: Man, that is just, that is not true at all.

[SPEAKER_01]: He was like, all of my feet is Red Sox Twitter, and none of them were talking about the eighties.

[SPEAKER_01]: Again, I'm glad you have smart friends, but you should take a look outside every once in a while.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty terrifying.

[SPEAKER_01]: Anywho, onto the followers of the week, we want to go viral on Red Sox Twitter again.

[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we'll start a Peyton Tully.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, a guy who got a lot of love on the prospect rankings because he has risen up the minor league ranks so much this year with the Red Sox.

[SPEAKER_00]: He did make his pay triple A debut last week.

[SPEAKER_00]: That's great news.

[SPEAKER_00]: That news.

[SPEAKER_00]: He got rocked.

[SPEAKER_00]: So not the greatest triple A triple A triple A debut for him, but I am still like the arm.

[SPEAKER_00]: I think he could factor into the Red Sox plans relatively soon.

[SPEAKER_00]: Once you're at triple A, you're literally, you could just be a phone call away and it could happen any time.

[SPEAKER_00]: Although again, the press law is literally have no idea what his thought process is on any given moment.

[SPEAKER_00]: A couple of hitters.

[SPEAKER_00]: JJ weather hope makes the fallers list.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, guidance in the top ten prospects of baseball, one of if not the best hit tool in all of baseball, not worried about him in the slightest, but only had two hits last week and both of them were in the same game.

[SPEAKER_00]: Just not a great game for JJ weather hope.

[SPEAKER_00]: The car bulls are, you know, [SPEAKER_00]: going through a little bit of a rework right now, but given kind of how much better they are than I thought they were going to be this year, I think they're in a position where they could call up a guy like whether they'll make a couple of moves in the off season, that should be really interesting next year.

[SPEAKER_00]: And the other one's Max Clark, again, another guy who's like sometimes awesome, sometimes not so awesome.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's a prep bat, and he's still figuring things out, right?

[SPEAKER_00]: But he still walks a whole bunch.

[SPEAKER_00]: He's hit like two, eighty down the minor leagues.

[SPEAKER_00]: Again, top ten prospect in baseball.

[SPEAKER_00]: But he had three hits all last week and all of more signals.

[SPEAKER_00]: So it's not impacting the ball you'd like, but at the same time, he's still getting on base of the good clip.

[SPEAKER_00]: He still, he's still a real threat of his lives.

[SPEAKER_00]: If he starts growing into some more strength and impacting ball more, he's going to be another one of those guys who is going to be threatened for that number one overall spot.

[SPEAKER_00]: Assuming that Connor Griffin gets called up in the next three years, which I frankly have no confidence in.

[SPEAKER_00]: But that's the other hero there.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we just don't know Uncle Ted, I am a Yankee fan.

[SPEAKER_01]: I am proud to admit when my players are bad and awesome well sucks.

[SPEAKER_01]: He has like a nerve issue, a circulatory issue in his hand, and he went on record this week saying in an interview that he can't hit sliders anymore.

[SPEAKER_01]: And again, he is an eighty five OPS plus.

[SPEAKER_01]: If that does not suck, then I don't know what sucks.

[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to be honest with everybody.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you guys have a reputation for fluffing up their own players.

[SPEAKER_01]: I thought he's he's been really bad.

[SPEAKER_01]: So I hope he becomes good in the future, but for now, quite bad.

[SPEAKER_01]: Eric Cole, we did it.

[SPEAKER_01]: I want to get out of here before I insult any more Red Sox fans or our viewers or anybody attending the show.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I appreciate everybody coming to this stream for the Prospect Show.

[SPEAKER_01]: New Eastern every Tuesday.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to continue doing this with the end of the year and beyond.

[SPEAKER_01]: Robert Murray, I will be back tomorrow.
