2017 TOP 30 PROSPECTS: UPDATE IN PROGRESS

Anyone see this floating around twitter:

@Zach_Dillard

learned today from Coppy: another club offered top int'l talent Kevin Maitan ~$10M at the J2 deadline. Maitan signed with Atlanta at $4.25M.

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.
 
fried with TJ and mediocre production over his career. i dunno about putting him over guys who actually get people out and stay healthy. we'll see.
 
My top 10:

1. Albies
2. Soroka
3. Allard
4. Acuna
5. Anderson
6. Gohara
7. Sims
8. Newcomb
9. Toussaint
10. Peterson

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.
 
Forgot about Maitan. He should be in the top 10. My amended list:

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