2018 risers and tumblers on the farm

I think Dustin Peterson will re-establish himself as he puts the wrist injury behind him.

Riley would be my candidate for most likely to decline in value.

Looks like I already got the DPete part right. My powers of prognostication always amaze me.

I mean at large and not someone recently fired from the Braves. KD is essentially thethe at this point.

I was kidding.

I've said I think FG's ranking of him is where he will be if he has a good year this year at the plate. So basically, I agree with you.

It will be interesting to see what they do with Peterson this season. At the very least, I hope he gets his offensive legs underneath him again. My problem with Peterson is that he's projecting as a corner OF at this point and I don't know if his offensive tools will develop to the point where he can be a plus player at one of those positions. He started out as an infielder in the San Diego system and I wonder if the Braves will give him some reps at 3B and 1B in Gwinnett. He's hit LHP pretty well the past couple of years and it would be nice to have a four-corner utility guy with some bat potential on the bench.
 
Believe the hype. Pache will be a top 50 prospect after the season

More than that. Legit 5 tool guy (assuming power). I'd be concerned on a new swing path and what that's doing to a k rate which is already at 20% but his package is one of a top 10 prospect.
 
I'd go with Kyle Muller and William Contreras as my risers. If I had to pick tumblers I'd say Touki and Riley as they're riding some helium right now the way they ended the year.

I'll stick with my originals although it's easy to add Pache to the rister category and Allard to the tumbler category
