    Anderson and Riley ahead of Gohara is an interesting take.

    Touki too low. Anderson and Riley too high. Touki is top 5 for me at this point and so is Pache. Not that I don't like Anderson or Riley, I just think Pache and and Touki have solidly jumped them this year.

    It sucks but what Gohard is showing right now isn't close to what he did last year.

    That would be my Top 10 as well with Contreras and Wentz ready to add when Soroka and Gohara are no longer eligible.

    Allard above Wright is a piping hot take.

    Touki too low, but that's 9 solid top 100 guys is my main takeaway.

    Think you can add Waters to that to make a nice round 10 Top 100 guys for me - but wouldn't argue very much if someone left he or Allard off their list since (as others have mentioned plenty of times) the difference between guys ranked between 75 and 125 (and maybe even further) is negligible at best.

    Still think many (even here) are underrating Riley - where you choose to put him on the list isn't so much the issue as the fact that there are still so many doubters. Most reports about his much-improved nutrition/body/agility and significant defensive improvement have been consistent for over a year now, and you just don't find anyone that says the bat isn't going to play anymore. The vast majority of teams that don't have Arenado or Bryant would be thrilled to have an average-ish defender with a plus arm over there who's going to hit 25+ bombs even if he strikes out a little more than you'd like. He looks just like Andujar, and the Yankees have all but made him off-limits.

    Considering the fact that money's tight, I wouldn't freak if AA made the decision to bring him up to play some at 3B down the stretch (and use Camargo more at SS when Dansby's not hitting) rather than add Moose or Donaldson and use the prospects you might burn for a rental to sweeten the pot and go get Iglesias and Amir Garrett to fill out the pen.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Where is Weigel on everyone’s list. I know injury drops him. But he was flat out killing it up to that point.

    Somewhere between 20-30 (for me like 27) because it can be hard to come back from that kind of injury and be the same guy. It significantly raises his risk.

    Weigel would be around 15-17 for me, assuming he comes back pretty close to full health.

    I don't have a TON of faith in our position guys behind Waters at this point, so they all slot in a little lower for me most likely.

    Riley is just like Andujar now?

    LOL seriously?
