All those plus or plus plus command relievers out there. Soroka would totally fit in.
Joking aside, Soroka seems like the guy in our system that Law would be low on. High floor, control/commands well, good mental game.

imo Soroka is our second best pitching prospect after Allard.

Very true
for insiders the write up for the braves is up.
Riley has slider bat speed and not athletic....let the klaw hate come back.
I don't get it either...just seems like I see a ton of SP body types. I don't see the strong texas SP as the only guy out there or even the majority. Lots of skinny guys. Lots of fat guys.
I think the DPeterson write up is interesting. I know "avg regular" doesn't excite anyone. But Avg left field bat is pretty decent. We have Kemp and Markakis around for too long and he's young. But a cheap, avg corner bat probably helps this team a lot.
Ruiz didn't make the rankings.
Much more realistic on Demerrite...80% he never plays in MLB. 20% chance he is a starting 2B.
The catcher we signed for 300k sounds really interesting. I didn't realize he was 25.....How much bat would he have to show to be on the roster next year? It's not like there is a lot holding him back.
MLB.com has Soroka at 6'4 195 as a 19 year old. What on earth is wrong with that build?

I wasn't being a d**k.. I like to hate Law too. but I don't because of his opinion on Riley. unfortunately he might be right. I have huge concerns about Riley, but I still hold him as a legit prospect until he struggles for a few years.
and Yes, Soroka has a great pitching frame.. There was a reddit photo of Meet and Greet Rome.. Dude is legit. http://imgur.com/DpYmESB
Law also adds that Sims has "no plane or life to his fastball" and "has" to move to the bullpen.
- Scouts wanted Minter in the ATL Top 10, Law doesn't like him as much because he's a "one inning reliever" with high injury risk b/c of his delivery.
- Wentz gets "Cole Hamels lite" comps
- Thinks Weigl could be up in September
Interesting that he sees Minter as a 1-inning guy (although just about all RPs are now, at least until you get to the playoffs) after his college career as a starter.
As for Demeritte, I'd say it's more like: 10% above-average starting 2B, 20% below-average starting 2B, 50% bench bat, 20% never plays in the majors. A guy with that kind of bat and glove seems like he'll probably have a place in the majors, it just may not be in the starting lineup and it may not be for very long.
