[The Q]

Trevor Story is about 60 spots too low IMO.

[BigFin]

I got Dylan AND Cole on my minors roster in my keeper dynasty league.

[The Q]

I got

Syndergaard
Meyer
Mason Williams
Polanco
Story
Heaney
Goodwin

On an expansion team that was created right around Xmas.

[ducky]

Surprised with how low Hicks is from my Twins.

He made a BIG stride last year in AA with finally being able to hit righties (a switch hitter that was struggling from the left side of the plate). But I suppose a pretty crappy fall league performance didn't help him at all but usually guys like him who are talented and REALLY close to a call up (could start the season on the major league squad) get bumped up the rankings more than he is.

Also surprised with how high Myer and Gibson are a bit. I figured Gibson surgery would have scared off the scouts and I guess I didn't realize that Myers was quite that high of a prospect.

....but I don't put much stock in these rankings anyways but they are still fun to see. Hell more than half of these guys will be considered "disappointments" in 5 years based in part to lists like this one.

[The Q]

Meyer is pretty high for a guy who spent a lot of time in A ball last year.

Esp as a college player.

[Nastradamus]

Swap Castellanos and Hamilton and I'd be much better with it. Not sure Hamilton has more than one tool. Its a great tool, but you can't steal first. Castellanos that close to Olt insults me.

[The Q]

At this point, IMO 3B is the 3rd hardest position to fill really behind SS and C. I have no problem giving those guys an extra boost.

[Nastradamus]

At this point, IMO 3B is the 3rd hardest position to fill really behind SS and C. I have no problem giving those guys an extra boost.

I agree fwiw, I just happen to think Olt is very overrated and Castellanos is underrated. Though if Detroit sticks with him in the OF, I get it a little more. Still, I think he projects to be an 850-900 OPS guy.

[The Q]

FWIW, Bill James LOVES Olt for this year.
