Allard, wright, and wentz... very nice

[rico43]

Danville was shut out when the Appalachian League end-of-season all-stars were announced yesterday -- but the Manager of the Year is former Braves farmhand Scott Thorman himself.
Thorman is currently managing the Royals' Appy club in Burlington.

I guess it's not a real surprise that the D-Braves didn't get an all-star although Contreras not being named is a puzzler to some extent. They've cycled a lot of players out (and my guess is Isranel Wilson was on his way to all-star consideration if he had remained in Danville all season) and the guys who have come in (Waters, Maitan, Ramos) simply haven't been in the league long enough to warrant a selection. Not much pitching in Danville this year.

Wentz so far - 5 IP, 1H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 5K

[thethe]

So now it's essentially guaranteed Wentz is top 100 should we talk about how high should he be ranked? Top 75? Top 50?

[thewupk]

I'd imagine he's a high grade 50 or low 55 FV player. That would put him around the 75ish mark.

[Enscheff]

FG has him between Soroka (93) and Pache (just outside the Top 100). Wentz is right on the edge of Top 100, probably 90-110.

Fair ranking considering he is only in a ball. I can see that being what happens.

[smootness]

FG has him between Soroka (93) and Pache (just outside the Top 100). Wentz is right on the edge of Top 100, probably 90-110.

Those were preseason ranks, though, right?

I think it's reasonable to assume Soroka's ranking has improved at least somewhat, so Wentz could be higher than that.

[thethe]

Wentz seems efficient as well. He could have easily gone 2 more innings today considering his pitch count. Could not have asked for a better season out of him

[Enscheff]

Thewupk might be right and he's around 75. Hopefully FG does an updated Top 100 that has more info than the disappointing org list updates.

[Enscheff]

I'd imagine he's a high grade 50 or low 55 FV player. That would put him around the 75ish mark.

Based on all EL has said, I imagine the FVs are something like:

1. Ronald Acuna 60/65
2. Ozzie Albies 60
3. Kyle Wright 60
4. Luiz Gohara 60/55
5. Kolby Allard 55
6. Kevin Maitan 55/50
7. Ian Anderson 55/50
8. Mike Soroka 55/50
9. Joey Wentz 50
10. Cristian Pache 50

Wentz anywhere from 75 to 110 is reasonable.

[chop2chip]

Allard dealing tonight. He's been forgotten some this year, but he's turning in quite a nice season for a 19/20 in AA. The strikeouts are starting to pile up finally.

[Ozzie Swanson]

Acuna is 2-3 tonight with a double, a homerun, and 4 RBIs. That's after finishing last night's game 3-6. He's now hitting .343.

[striker42]

Wentz > Anderson

[smootness]

Acuna is stupid.

[smootness]

Wentz > Anderson

That's not a super hot take haha

[thethe]

Wentz > Anderson

Still disagree but hard to argue against right now.

I mean....hmmm.....yeah
