Perhaps, but not to trade back any prospects of note. Perhaps a team that'd take Kemp by sending back a guy like Tom Hackimer and the Braves would eat everything but $5-10M per season of his contract. Adams doesn't make sense, though.

Not any interest in moving Rooker right now most likely. The team will lose #75 if they sign anyone. MLB would likely block a deal for the pick. Also, Hughes is most likely not going to pitch until midseason.

Twins have a lot of pitching in the minors and are in FA/trade market for elite guys (big players on Darvish and Ohtani both). Don't have the elite arms of Atlanta (yet), but the depth in that system is very impressive. Most likely a top 10 system most places when all is said and done this...

Also, Lopez was not lost.

Gutierrez was mentioned in the final post. He was ranked 27a. There was a computer issue that caused me to have my list glitched, so the top 100 actually had 105 total.

Quite literally spent an hour on Google chat just on Flores on Tuesday as I'm prepping my Red Sox list. I have written three memorial articles in the last two days - one on Halladay, one on a long time Twins bullpen coach, and the last Flores. I'm ready to take a break from these kinds of...

Both. Weigel in the first line. Ozzie in the rest. There's a reason Ozzie struggled so badly and the team was willing to demote him to get him out of Gwinnett in 2016 - and it wasn't to play he and Swanson together. Crazy part is that it all happened under Snitker's watch...or lack thereof.

Last I knew was his Twitter from July when he posted a video of him working at the Braves facility. I know he was at fall instructs, but I haven't heard anything on how he looked (a couple guys I normally hear from didn't go due to Irma, and it meant I didn't have any trusted eyes on Braves fall...

...as a starter, which has always baffled me when he works in short stints and gets excellent life on the pitch. His AFL fastball in one-inning stints was incredible, but the longer he worked, the less movement it had.

I would just expect he's not available for 2018 and be pleasantly surprised if he pitches at all. Akin to what SHOULD have been the attitude on Ozzie's first half after the broken elbow, but the team put out info that did him absolutely no favors. I cannot imagine he'll want to hang around the...

Abrahan, with an "n", not an "m". Going to be akin to Andruw spelling stuff... I mentioned technological issues in the piece. Here's the entire deal - I replaced a router the 1st of November after having major issues with connectivity throughout the latter half of October. In the case that...

FYI, I printed the final piece of the list that I do, where I have the entire list in a list format with links to every one of the posts on guys, and then also an "others to know" bit as well. This year, I split out the others to know in upper minors, lower minors, and rookie ball...

Dan Meyer and Dennis Lewalyn are two of the highest-regarded pitching coaches in all of minor league baseball. Meyer's name was even tossed around as a guy who should be considered for MLB jobs that were open this offseason. However, the MLB pitching coach has always seemed to be an issue, and...

Careful...someone joked about that with me last year. I produced my list of 265ish players that I considered for the list and had ordered. Many of them do get tossed aside right away for a host of reasons, but even a lot of the guys that will be in the post tonight (9 eastern will be a post with...

As much as I can. With two sites currently to edit, it gets a little hairy, but eventually I'll pare it down to just the general baseball site (and a day job and 5 foster/adoption kids), so I'll try to keep peeking in every so often! TC and I don't get along so much anymore, mainly because of...

Also, David Lee was basically the first national writer on Acuna, so he's really dug in hard on him, and thus BP along with him....

BP's prospect focus is very strongly analytical more than scouting. However, there are still some good eyes there. David Lee is one of the best eyes in the SAL you'll find. If you are a dynasty fantasy player, they're the top site to use for sure. Otherwise, I'd review their write up to see...

Sims has an incredibly impressive curve that would work well when paired with an increased velocity fastball out of the bullpen. Toussaint had an incredible run in Mississippi in the rotation (most everyone in Arizona maxes out at 3 IP per outing, so why not get him time as a reliever), so he'll...

That's just it. I think he attempted to change it on the fly at the big league level this year. It was a notable difference in his swing from what I'd seen all year in Gwinnett. It's as if he knows to get notice at the big league level, he should hit DINGERZZ, but he doesn't do the work to...

The first year I did it, Jose Ramirez was #90, Camargo was #48, Whalen was #45, and all of those guys have now hit the majors. Guys like Withrow (79), Chase Johnson-Mullins (76), Weigel (72), Minter (47), Didder (42 before Rome), Povse (39), Pache (35), and William Contreras (34 after first DSL...
