    Whoa on Touki! Nice he is finally getting his due. Even if he "flames out" as a starter, he has a nice floor with that two pitch mix.

    Pache at 33 is fine too and I like Wilson FINALLY getting some love after using the 4 seamer more this season vs the 2 seamer.

    I probably wouldn't have Riley in my top 50 either, but definitely in the 60-75 range.

    Agreed. And I think Law would say the same. He has admitted to coming around on Riley some, but remaining somewhat skeptical is totally fair.

    There's still a lot of the story to be written on Austin Riley.

    I certainly hope he pans out but it's no guarantee, we've seen the story already with a high K rate this year in fact even if Acuna is going to be fine down the road.

    My hope would probably be that he's Jake Lamb with a bit less defense, about a .250/.330/.500 bat.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    That's certainly a possibility and what also is a possibility is he ends up playing SS if Dansby doesn't start doing better. Though if Dansby doesn't start doing better, I want to see Ozzie tried at SS again first.

    Dansby's not going anywhere, he's been just fine this year. Camargo isn't playing SS.

    Correct. Riley is unlikely to be an above average utility player off the bench.

    My opinion (leaving off guys I think will graduate):

    1. Touki Toussaint (stock way ^)
    2. Kyle Wright (stock -)
    3. Ian Anderson (stock a bit ^)
    4. Drew Waters (I've already posted that I think he becomes the next Braves super prospect, so part of this is feeling)
    5. Cristian Pache (stock ^ some, still haven't see the full breakout that we've been waiting for)
    6. Austin Riley (stock ^)
    7. Joey Wentz (stock a little ^)
    8. William Contreras (stock ^)
    9. Bryse Wilson (pitching well as a 20 year old in AA after getting bombed to start, stock ^)
    10. Kolby Allard (stock a little down)

    Overall even with graduations it's still a pretty good system.

    It is even with the somewhat disappointing developments this year regarding Gohara, Acuna and Soroka.
