yeah 12th pick in 2018....his minors stats are not great.

his minors stats are not great.

Slugging .293. Sorry that was a horrible misuse of the term. "Slug"ing.

Call him punch and judy.

Yep. Based on input on RJ I traded him just before this year's auction. Never looked back.

[Ken]

Never looked back.

He'd probably hit better looking backwards.

I will take it...I will happily bet that if called upon, Bass will blow Toronto's most important game of the year in spectacular fashion.

This is the same guy that couldnt get MAX FRIED THE HITTER out in a clutch spot.

Same guy who in his entire Marlins career never converted a save opportunity.

Hot and heavy now. Brandon Marsh to the Phils.

Well, it seems he really no longer is a top prospect. Last year, he jumped from Lo-A to AA and had a solid, if unspectacular, year. This year at AAA, he's been miserable. And he's getting worse, not better. Displaying no power and no speed and hitting only .247. He's still young, only 22 y/o, but things are trending in the wrong direction. I've now moved him out of my top 150. Maybe moving to a different org can right the ship for him.

For big-time C prospect Logan O'Hoppe

[Hornsby]

Tyler Mahle to the Twins

Reds actually did pretty well here, with 3 of the Twins top 15 prospects. Spencer Steer is an infielder who's become a legitimate power guy, and not a dud in average. Encarnacion-Strand is a legit power guy who might be a year or two away, and might play both infield corner spots. Hajjar looks like a back of the rotation/bullpen guy, but might develop into a bit more.

For big-time C prospect Logan O'Hoppe

Surprised they gave up on him this fast. Marsh was a highly regarded prospect.
