RHD's Latest Top 150 Roto Prospects ("Pre-BA League Top 20s" Version)

[madducks]

History has shown that minor league hitting prospects make their most substantial defensive improvement around the second week of June.

He hasn't played well and is on the IL. I know he had a suspension, but is there any documentation that he was addicted to drugs ? I never heard that.

with literally millions sitting there, if you can't stop yourself from doing drugs, is that addiction or stupidity?

No evidence of him being a drug addict. That is what I recalled as well.

Yeah, I can't say that I've ever heard that either, unless he's referring to the suspension for PED's

BTW, I was on steroids for a while last year, and I can tell you that they don't really make you stronger, faster, or have better eyesight, at least not the type I was on. What they did do was to make me feel better, all the time. I felt normal and healthy...when I was taken off them I felt horrible, and begged to get back on the train. No such luck.

I don't believe this is accurate and you haven't provided any documentation yet to support your claim

The words addict and addiction are not mentioned in your link.

Alvarez is getting called up on Sunday.

Gets an HR is his first game. I'd like him to keep rookie eligibility, but I'd also like him to play well. Seems unlikely that both will happen

Dude has been en fuego all year. I traded him in the preseason for Pham. Hard to complain right now, as Pham has been good for me, but long term, I think I regret it. Yordan's bat looks good enough to keep him playing despite his defensive limitations, and boy can he hit.

I don't know...I think that Pham is good for another 4-5 years of production, with the added element of speed.

It isn't a dynasty. I do have Pham for next year at a good price, but after that, I lose him.

lot's of graduates from MLB.com's top 100 list. Once Tatis gets a few more at bats the top 5 will be:

1) Wander Franco
2) Casey Mize
3) Royce Lewis
4) Mackenzie Gore
5) Forest Whitley

I wonder where Luis Robert would fit if they did a new one.

After a slow start in AA, he is now .331/.373/.541, 3 HR, 10 SB(!), in 143 PA. Plus the K% is down compared to A ball.

Is there any chance he does a Juan Soto?
