Baseball America Midseason Top 100

I've seen a couple people think Anderson is too high --- I tend to think people still discount him due to pre-draft rankings --- but he's a pretty young projectable kid with a 3.04 FIP and a 11.43 K/9 rate, his BABIP is chilling at .363; the walks are too high right now, but there's a lot to like with what he's done this year.

The risk inherent in a prep arm combined with the control issues really ding him. Also, his stuff is apparently a touch behind some others. It's very good, but not really elite. So he doesn't have that counterbalancing it.

Honestly, he reminds me a little bit of Lucas Sims. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar career path.

Anderson is much more of a ground ball pitcher. That's my biggest problem with Sims. Way too many fly balls of him.
 
Gore was just drafted 3rd overall. A consensus top 5 pick by everyone in this past draft. Some baseball guys don't share you're disdain for the guy.
 
Some lists/sites are a little more patient than others. BA is more what have you done for me lately. Jorge Mateo has fallen completely off the map too

Both are fastball-curve ball pitchers with chageups that lag behind. Similar velocity. And both struggle with BBs. Sims is more of a flyball pitcher which is a problem with the BBs. But I could easily see Anderson's career going like Sims' had.

This is random but the Phillies rebuild has gone REALLLY bad.

They've been rebuilding for what, like 5 years now? And they've shown no progress in their rebuild.

While the Braves are in year 3 and look to be back in contention by 2019, possibly in 2018 depending what happens this winter.

Non Braves question. So the gNats have 3 on this list.. If you are GM how do you handle the pen. I think you have to make a move.. I can't imagine them trying to win it all with that mess. I almost think you have to get 2, because even your two back end starters are not reliable enough.

I wouldnt go for broke if i was them, they'll have everyone back next year for the most part.

If they trade for a RP, i'd at least want someone with 3-4+ years control. They traded away Rivero who is a stud for the Pirates for Melancon. But i'd probably target 2-3 lower BP pieces instead of gut the farm for 1 guy. One guy isnt gonna make/break that pen.
