Nice rebound for him.

Riley has to be in the discussion as a 60 FV guy. That is quite the development early on in the minor league season.
I’ve seen 60 grades on his arm and power. That is it.
To get to a 60 fv his d is going to have to be plus and his hit took better.
Anyone seen his defense graded above 50? I have not.
I still see s 250/300/500 guy. With avg d at 3b that’s 1-2 war
Needs a ton of walks and better d to consider 60 to me
Scouting reports from a year or greater on riley are irrelevant. He changed his body and his game
Riley at AA...
2017 in 203 PA = .315/.389/.511 iso = .197
2018 in 58 PA = .377/.431/.736 iso = .358
How long we leave him there? BTW in ST, he slashed .208/.367/.542. This kid is having one hell of a start to his pro career

Riley reminds me so much of Troy Glaus. The bat speed may not be elite but it's good enough to get to the ball and has tremendous force behind it.
Lot of great pitching last night. Wright bounced back in a big way.

Riley is a case in point where a scout or a couple of scouts see a prospect and the "book" is out. Riley is not Brooks Robinson lite at 3rd but he is solid now. Coming in on balls has really improved and he goes to his right much better. He's got surprisingly good reaction time too. As for the bat, I think it'll play quite well but he'll continue to have to make adjustments like he has along the way. If he does I'm sure a 55/60FV will be legit.
Not saying he hasn’t. I just want to see it from a non bravessource
Albies always had more than 20 power. He is small. He was super young. And mlb has juiced the ball and shrank the parks.
I hope Riley is awesome. I’m just not reading that from non braves biased people. And the days of coppy pushing someone up a level bc they had s hot couple of months are hopefully gone.
I think with aa studs will do a level a year unless you are a college guy
AA might do it with his guys, but he seriously can't with the cat is out of the bag players and Riley counts as one of them.
Riley is going to be playing in Atlanta by sometime in the summer of 2019.
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.
All guys are his guys.
Y’all are crazy. It’s perfectly reasonable for a hs player to spend a year per level and come up around 23-24
Especially a power bat
Let him play somewhere and manage a whole year and see the same guys some time.
No need to rush
Plus double a is where most of the elite talent is. If Riley is a 3 plus war guy then let him destroy as all year. Nothing to prove in aaa. Then you put him in aaa for three weeks next year and then call him up
