So I went scouting report hunting and saw that Minter is now our #30 prospect on MLB.
Good write up on him but what I found funny are his grades.
60 FB/ 55 Cutter/ 50 Slider/ 50 Control
45 overall

Any prospect that low on that list will have a 45 FV, at best. I think they probably take quite a bit away from that for being a RP. I would imagine their best RP prospect is probably a 50 FV.
yeah, I know.. They stuck a 45 because they have him at #30, RP and injury history... But it still doesn't add up.. not that it matters. His 50+ pitch selection plus control is all that matters.

According to this:

A 45 FV is a "Low Setup" or #5 starter. I would be pretty disappointed if Minter didn't end up as at least a "Low Closer, High Setup", which is a FV of 50.
I would have him safely in the Braves top 20 personally, easily ahead of guys like Whalen, Gant, Ellis, Seymour, Hebert, Davidson, Morris, and Bird, but behind guys like Acuna and Sims.
