The Prospect Thread II (McKay called up)

[bleedblue1223]

Any winning bid is sure to be very high, a lot of motivated bidders with lots of cash.

While on @670TheScore, @JonHeyman said at this point he'd be surprised if anyone other than the #WhiteSox signed Luis Robert.

Ugh cardinals surprise Jon Heyman please.

This was 10.8 home to third. That has to be 80 speed? Right?

Not a scout, but found this: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/scouting-explained-the-20-80-scouting-scale/

For the two different run grade scale, we have the 60-yard dash, which is a combine-style showcase measure of straight-line speed akin to the 40 from the football combine while the home to first base times from either batter’s box are functional game speed. Often scouts use the raw times (comparing them with scouts nearby to verify accuracy) then round up/down based on wind/grass conditions for the 60 or how good of a jump out of the box and effort level on times to first base.

4.00 for a RHH to 1B would be considered 80 grade speed. 4.30 would be 50 or average. 4.20 would be 60 or plus. 4.10 would be 70 or plus-plus. Again, all for RHH.

I'd say that's pretty good....

Looks like the White Sox have signed Luis Robert

Yep... I don't see the Twins passing on him.

 

[JWK]

Giolito pitched a 7inning no hitter yesterday

It's now official... Robert to the White Sox!

Great news for my team and for the first time in a long time, the future actually looks bright. Can't wait to see Moncada and Robert grow side by side.

Vladdy Jr getting some praise.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

He is straight up raking this year while walking more then he strikes out and just turned 18 before the season started. That team in general is pretty fun to watch lol.

 

[Filip Chytil]

Not good

Heard it reported that some feel he will be the top prospect in baseball in a years time.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Not good

Why do bad things happen to my fantasy baseball team?

 

[MMC]

What happened to Glasnow, wasn't he a top prospect?

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

What happened to Glasnow, wasn't he a top prospect?

He walked 5.2 per 9 in the minors last year. They called him up too early.

 

[Evincar]

Lewis Brinson gets the call for the Brewers. Cant wait to see what he does.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Newcomb had a great first start yesterday. 6.1 innings, 4 hits, 2 walks, no ER.

BA mock has the following as the top 5:

1. Twins: Brendan McKay
2. Reds: Hunter Greene
3. Padres: Mackenzie Gore
4. Rays: Bubba Thompson
5. Braves: Kyle Wright

 

[Filip Chytil]

This was in the BA description of the Twins pick in the mock: http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/2017-mlb-mock-draft-4-5/#WBK6YK5q9FUbbS0H.97

Nothing confirmed; as of Sunday evening, the industry seems to think Minnesota will go with Brendan McKay. A club official said the Twins were still considering four players—industry sources believed that to include Brendan McKay, Hunter Greene, Kyle Wright and Royce Lewis. But the official said signability “will play a significant role.†Minnesota prefers McKay on the mound.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

Here's how I would rank McKay's value by positional outcome.

RF McKay
SP McKay
1B McKay

Derek Fisher is getting called up by Houston.
