Didn't notice this was up already-

No surprise with Acuna and Albies up

top. Wright and Gohara both jumped Allard as our top SP prospect. A little surprised he didn't really have Soroka move more or mention him in his blurb. I tweeted him earlier and his overall list should be going up this week too, which I assume will have FV's.

I hope he posts some FV grades. These lists are pretty useless without them.

I also need to know how big their ****s are and how often they ****. This list is useless without that.

Soroka should be way ahead of Anderson

I'm in the middle on this. I get why so many love Soroka, and I do, too. His results at his age and level have been outstanding. At the same time, scouting minor league results has proven to not always be a fantastic way to predict major league results.

Soroka's K-rates have not been great. They're not bad, and it's certainly possible they could increase if was at a more appropriate level for his age. But K-rates that aren't great in the minors usually dip further in the majors. And a lower K-rate often lowers a pitcher's ceiling, though not always.

Anderson's K-rate in Rome has been fantastic. So it's a mix of what you weigh more for a young guy, K's vs. BB's, performance vs. level, and then scouting to project what they will be moving forward. I don't think there's any way you can say, 'Soroka should be way ahead of Anderson,' simply because of his results.
