    I'll join the Pache explode bandwagon.

    I'm doubling down on Ian Anderson imploding.

    I’m feeling both these—especially since Pache now seems too easy of a choice, what with several evaluators aggressively ranking him pre-season this year.

    Contreras is a good one. I don't think Riley will have enough struggles to be completely labeled an "Imploder" but more of a struggles early, gets on track later on... Like a status quo. Not an exploder candidate either though.

    Yeah implode is probably the wrong word for Riley. I just think he will underperform relative to some of our fan's estimations of him.

    Pache Muller Peterson Jackson Waters to explode



    Allard Fried Sims Wisler Blair demmerite (he really already has) to implode

    Tough crowd on Riley. All he has done is progress each year. I don’t think he will be a super star, but should be a pretty solid starter. He has done well.

    Touki is my implode/explode guy. He could be really good...or really bad. Imma be a homer and say this is the year of the Touki!!!

    Waters is also a good explode pick. He certainly has all of the tools to be great. I'm actually somewhat surprised that he wasn't taken earlier in the draft.

    Xplode - Pache, Muller, Contreras - longer term: T. Davidson, JC Encarnacion

    Implode - D.Cruz..not much expected but a move to 2nd may help. Parsons. Hasn't rebounded.

    JC is a solid pick

    What’s great is there is usually that one guy no one really expects to explode.

    From the trade deadline on...its gonna be interesting, because by that point AA will have evaluated players. The trade line and next offseason...it’s about to be LIT.

    This. Likely someone really out of nowhere unlike the Tucker Davidson picks who we are already hearing a little about.

    Mooney is a lot of fun to watch. Great speed, good defense, max effort all the time. I hope you're right about him.

    It was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I think Mooney is one of those guys who is going to stick around as long as he wants because of the things you mention (and he supposedly is a tremendous fielder). He may not ever make it to the majors, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of those baseball lifers who coaches and manages (if he so chooses). With the exodus of international middle IF prospects (Maitan, Soto, Severino, Pena), Mooney will be getting some serious ABs. A lot depends on where Didder ends up now that he's back in the IF (I'm guessing Mississippi for R-PEKD), Mooney is the likely SS in Florida. Here's hoping he makes the most of it.

    I checked in on Angels camp and saw Kevin Maitan, who still looks heavy. He deserves time to right the ship, but he’s behind where I would have hoped him to be entering spring training. Scouts who have seen more of him than I have this spring have taken issue with his bat path and inconsistent defensive hands. It’s early, but things aren’t off to an auspicious start.
