    Feel like it was San Diego, who then used that money to sign Adrian Morejon.

    Bodes well for the future with Maitan if he becomes a star.

    I seriously doubt we would have allowed him to go elsewhere. If he wanted to sign with the top bidder, I'm betting we would have given him what he wanted.

    Yeah, I'm so glad we got him. The kid's talent is incredible. I think the most impressive part of this rebound is the "waves" of talent. Barring injuries or absolute and complete busts, we should have solid talent coming through the system for more than half a decade to set consistent runs. It's crazy.

    BA ranks us #1 in Organizational talent

    http://www.baseballamerica.com/minor...ZUbYq9Pe6LY.97

    That list makes you appreciate how quickly the WSoxs and Stankees moved. But we still come from the outhouse to the penthouse. Another Pache call out as well.

    And we moved even higher in one year. From 29 to 3 - that is pretty incredible, regardless of who we traded.

    If Sims could still conceivably be a #1 starter, then it stands to reason that his ranking should be higher than 22.

    There have been no roster changes, and we're still in "small sample size" mode. Aiming to update around Memorial Day.

    Whoa, Sims 7 and Peterson in the top 10, that's ambitious for him.

    Mine would be:

    1. Albies
    2. Acuna
    3. Soroka
    4. Allard
    5. Anderson
    6. Maitan
    7. Fried
    8. Newcomb
    9. Gohara
    10. Touki

    with Demeritte, Wentz, and Alex Jackson the next in line. Muller, Cruz, Pache and others could move up quickly.

    I don't think it will be long before Soroka is our new #1 if he keeps up what he's done his entire professional career.

    i like top 7 nsacpi has. the last three are more hype guys who have never consistently produced. i'm bummed to see touki getting knocked around this year. he's not done by any means, but it sure feels like this is the year he needs to be more consistent.


    to fill out the last three, i don't see how you leave a triple digit starter who nobody has hit in a few seasons. Weigel.

    i figure you have about 15 guys who are all about 8-22 in the rankings, changing based on the day and weather.

    sample size alert...

    Weigel has 18 SO, 12 H and 4 BB in 14.2 IP.

    If (big if), he's getting a bit more control and that walk number coming down is real, this guy might be #1 before the year is over.
