Also, chop2chip.. I'm listening to the interview, but I'm really not seeing where Callis is saying that "Moniak is better than Maitan" or "Maitan wouldn't be the top prospect.."

#2 type of guy.. that's a very broad comp and not very good. What is a Pedroia type of #2 player? One that bats .300, with 15 homeruns a season, and blah blah? Great, that isn't a comparison...

Yes, but comps are for players of his position.. Unless you see him moving to 2B, most will say that's not a good comp. ANd also- bc Pedroia is a RHH..

Yep, i agree with you.

Found it. Both agreed that Maitan was better. http://mlb.mlb.com/fan_forum/podcasts/index.jsp?c_id=mlb&podcast=mlb_pipeline Podcast from 5/5/16 and time 4:45 ish.. They said, "It's hard to compare, but.. I don't see that potential bat...nobody int he draft that combines Maitan's offensive...

I'll take a look.. I'm looking for the podcast I saw right now.

OFC you don't see his type of talent much.. I like Maitan and I can't wait till we sign him. I just think Pedroia is a bad comp (which you made) for Moniak.. very bad comp.

Well, IDK about all of them- but some comps are actually really good. But its only the ones where they use tool analysis of pitches, pitch movement, swing styles, and stuff like that to compare players.

He said so in one of the podcasts before the draft. Which one did you listen to?

Aren't all comparisons of a player what we kind of want and expect them to become?

Let's just take MLB's scouting grades Moniak: 55 hit(let's just say 60 though), 45 power, 60 run, 50 arm, and 60 field Maitan: 60 hit, 60 power, 40 run (although it says he is a plus runner), 70 arm, 50 field COMPARISON: Both have good hit tools (idk who's better though), Maitan has more power...

One thing- why do you see Pedroia- they don't even play the same position....unless you mean ceiling of his bat.

Lots of sources actually- most notably, Mayo and Callis of MLB said that if Maitan was eligible they and many scouts they had talked with would take Maitan before any HS prospect of the 2016 draft class. Also, BA said that Maitan would be a top prospect in the draft, but he wouldn't be taken #1...

You're wanting us to spend more than the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cubs.. and close to the Dodgers level. That won't happen, why? 1) We don't have enough money and 2) Padres. I'd be shocked if we get the prospects we're rumored to get, some more, and then Cubans..

We'd be spending way too much money. As the top pitcher and older and from Cuba, Gutierrez would ask for around $10 million. Lazarito/Ona would ask for around $5-7 million depending on if they think they're that good... That's around $16 million and we're suppose to spending as much as the...

I don't think Cubs want Vizcaino back- they need a left handed specialist. And personally, I want Teheran to the Pirates for Meadows+...

If somebody matches the price tag we have for our players, we trade them. If they don't we keep them. Why? The sellers rule the trade market- especially in bullpen and pitching wise..

a team doensn't call another team about their own players.. if we call a team about Vizcaino (and as a matter of fact Teheran or anybody else), their value falls... a lot.

I saw his stocks drop as his stats did.. if he were to be the #1 prospect, he'd have to hit better and hit for power a lot better. His walk rate DID go up which was nice to see, so if he maintain his OBP while adding the power and hit tools from his freshman year again, I can see his stocks...

The Pirates system is known to not develop power early, but develop contact hitting and then power. Marte IS a 20 homerun threat, right? He never hit more than 12 homeruns in a season. And just saying.. Meadows is on pace now for around 20 homeruns, more than 20 steals while batting over .300 ...
