Hero edition BP 101 chat
Tyler (Boise): How would you rank the pure hit tools of Dahl, Winker, and Piscotty?
Top 101 Chat: Dahl/Piscotty 6+ potential hit, Winker 6 potential hit. All three have impressive feel.
JK (Spring Valley, MN): How close was Mike Foltynewicz to making the list and do you see him as a SP or RP?
Top 101 Chat: He was very close. Relief arm for me, but a good one.
Peter Gabriel (In Your Eyes): Assuming Sanchez, Norris, and Pompey all graduate in 2015, can you give us your rough guess as to their top 5 prospects by year's end? Matt Smoral made some progress towards the end of 2014, could he be a guy that could really put it together and explode on the prospect scene this season?
Top 101 Chat: Smoral was tabbed as an On The Rise guy in this year's Top 10 so we definitely see it possible that he's a player who could bump up into the 10 best prospects within the system at this time next year. It's going to come down to the continued progress keeping the delivery in check and maintaining the arm slot. Some evaluators are more bullish on him as a reliever in the long-run, but an Andrew Miller type if fairly valuable at the end of the day.
Shane (Tacoma): Who in the last 50 do you think has the best chance of moving into the top 20 next year?
Top 101 Chat: That's a huge leap in one year, but Clint Frazier, Alexander Reyes, and Manuel Margot are three who come to mind right off the bat with chances to do so for me.
James (Tampa): Glad to see that Willy Adames is on the list. I'm very torn on his upside. Does he possess the elite upside of some of the other SS in the low minors (Rosario, etc)?
Top 101 Chat: I had him as a 6/5 in the Ray's Top 10 so I see him a bit below. It's good upside as a first-division regular though. There are some thoughts he's going to slide off the position down the line as he isn't the most natural at shortstop, but he has shown to be able to handle it for now.
Manuel (Boston): Tim Anderson is substantially higher on the BP list than in other lists. Law had him at 67. I believe MLB.com had him somewhere in the 70s or 80s. What's your reasoning behind his top 40 ranking?
Top 101 Chat: He's on the raw side for sure, but the tools are extremely loud and there's a certain look to the way he effortlessly creates plus bat speed. His hands are extremely loose as well, which enables him to control the head of the bat well and stay inside of offerings. The more crude present pitch selection offers concerns, along with whether the instincts are there to stick at shortstop, but the athleticism points to sticking up the middle (CF) or rounding into a solid second baseman. Its a more risky profile and requires some belief the gaps are going to close, but we as a team have that belief in happening.
gatz75 (Tampa): Does Rafael Devers have the type of talent to bat in the middle of a good lineup? Does he have the chance to jump into the top 20 of a list like this?
Top 101 Chat: Yes, without question. It takes a lot for a rookie-level corner bat (without defensive certainty) to break into the 101. He has "best in the minors" upside with the stick.
Harvey (Queens): What would you like to see Amed Rosario work on most this year? What is the most impressive part of his game? Biggest weakness?
Top 101 Chat: Toning things down at the plate. Or, at least showing that he's starting to make strides in that department during his full-season assignment. Rosario's feel for the game at a young age is probably the most impressive part. That's what leads me to believe he's going to learn how to slow things down on both sides of the ball. Biggest weakness would be the aforementioned aggressiveness and immature pitch recognition.
For what it is worth, one front office type (outside the org) I spoke to when putting the Mets Top 10 together expressed his thoughts that Rosario is the talent with the most upside in the system.
teddywklein (Queens): why Mondesi over Rosario?
Top 101 Chat: Mondesi is a bit more natural at the position, and profiles as the better defender. He's also 4 months older than Rosario and played the year two full levels above him. That's pretty advanced. At the end of the day, they could both end up the same player (first-division regulars), but Mondesi is more advanced developmentally at the moment.
Top 101 Chat: Dahl/Piscotty 6+ potential hit, Winker 6 potential hit. All three have impressive feel.
JK (Spring Valley, MN): How close was Mike Foltynewicz to making the list and do you see him as a SP or RP?
Top 101 Chat: He was very close. Relief arm for me, but a good one.
