What does he say about Pache?
Whoa on Touki! Nice he is finally getting his due. Even if he "flames out" as a starter, he has a nice floor with that two pitch mix.
Pache at 33 is fine too and I like Wilson FINALLY getting some love after using the 4 seamer more this season vs the 2 seamer.

Law just can’t admit he was wrong about Austin Riley
There's still a lot of the story to be written on Austin Riley.
I certainly hope he pans out but it's no guarantee, we've seen the story already with a high K rate this year in fact even if Acuna is going to be fine down the road.
My hope would probably be that he's Jake Lamb with a bit less defense, about a .250/.330/.500 bat.
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.
doubt Riley displaces Camargo
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
That's certainly a possibility and what also is a possibility is he ends up playing SS if Dansby doesn't start doing better. Though if Dansby doesn't start doing better, I want to see Ozzie tried at SS again first.

My opinion (leaving off guys I think will graduate):
1. Touki Toussaint (stock way ^)
2. Kyle Wright (stock -)
3. Ian Anderson (stock a bit ^)
4. Drew Waters (I've already posted that I think he becomes the next Braves super prospect, so part of this is feeling)
5. Cristian Pache (stock ^ some, still haven't see the full breakout that we've been waiting for)
6. Austin Riley (stock ^)
7. Joey Wentz (stock a little ^)
8. William Contreras (stock ^)
9. Bryse Wilson (pitching well as a 20 year old in AA after getting bombed to start, stock ^)
10. Kolby Allard (stock a little down)
Overall even with graduations it's still a pretty good system.

Where does Carter Stewart stock sit?
