7426he's at 3rd base; what's a reasonable range factor there? Urshela is between 2.3 and 2.5. Jose Ramirez 2.4-2.5

Re: Minor Matters
7428Oh, crap. I had a huge brain fart, Civ. We drafted Jones as a 2nd baseman and for some reason that's what clicked at that second... LOL. Of course you're right. But yes, his RF for 3rd base is good. (chances go into the formula and 2nd base gets more oppurtunities to touch the ball so the number is larger there)
.
TFIR - I would use my list or Civ's before any of the big media ratings. But here is a link to MLB's Top 30 list. ...

Re: Minor Matters
7430I went back to see if I did a Top 10 list myself but couldn't locate one so I'll try it now. Basically I think there are two Grade A prospects; one Grade B or B+ and a lot of long shots. But here's an attempt:
1. McKenzie
2. Mejia
3. Bradley
4. Chang
5. Castro
6. Bieber
7. Diaz
8. Allen
9. Civale
10. Merryweather
Others who come close: Merritt, Morimando, Ice, Collins, Hillman. Maybe Capel.
Young guys in short season or rookie leagues with unproven promise: position players: Gonzalez, Jones, Benson, Cantu, Holmes, Freeman. Pitchers: Plesac, Perez, Hentges, Karinchak.

Re: Minor Matters
7431It's funny, if Loopstok had held up at first on one of his hits he'd be getting written up on milb and elsewhere for hitting a cycle. Instead he had 4 extra base hits and gets less attention; the opposition screwed him of his final chance with an intentional walk in the 9th trailing by 7 runs. I think that's pretty squirrely.

Re: Minor Matters
7433Morgan: 15 innings, 6 hits, 1 run, 28 strikeouts. But a caveat I see from draft day: report says he has a great changeup and should dominate in the low minors but whether he gets farther will depend on how he develops his fast ball and his durability by the team he reaches AA.. He's a miniature RH 5-10 190. I guess 190 isn't miniature.
Re: Minor Matters
7434Thanks guys - in the process of adding many of those.
I was surprised Yandy wasn't owned - seeing as he's at the top level.

Re: Minor Matters
7436Speaking of such, the Orioles playing their cards very carefully have waited until last week to assign Santander to the minors on an "injury rehab" stay. Forget what the maximum time is for that but since they're out of contention they can bring him up in August, add him to the roster, farm out someone for a couple weeks to make room and recall whoever Sept 1. I'll check on the minimum number of days a player has to stay on roster to meet the Rule 5 requirement. I assume they've got it all worked out.
Re: Minor Matters
7437Here's the rule: Player must stay on active roster for "At least 90 days of that first season must be maintained at "active status" (not on any disabled list). If a player cannot be active for 90 days in that first year due to a legitimate extended injury, whatever remains of the 90 day obligation MUST be met from the beginning of the following year, his second season with the drafting club."
That makes no distinction between pre and post Sept 1 so maybe my recollection is [again] wrong.
Question: does "active status" include minor league rehab stay? I would assume not, but can't find that in the sites I looked.
So Santander is at most using about 70 of his 90 days this year; and perhaps a couple dozen less. O's will have to retain him for a couple weeks or a little longer next spring too. I'd still be happy to get him back. Other than his injuries, which have been frequent, he's a pretty good prospect, at least on the offensive side of things since he's now confined to LF apparently.

Re: Minor Matters
7438TFIR ... I guarantee you that you made an absolute steal in Yandy. As Civ can tell you, he's a fave of mine. He is going to be a professional hitter type that I know you respect. He's patient, draws walks, high OBP guy. Hits for average. Not a ton of power. Think Brantley type hitter. Which is odd considering he has biceps the size of cantaloupes... LOL
See if you can nab Greg Allen too. His numbers aren't eye popping this year cause he missed quite a bit of time with an injury. But he's going to be an every day lead off hitter in the majors, IMO. 280 type switch hitter, good OBP, steals bases, gap power. He could be a steal for you too cause his numbers are nothing this year. But last year between High A and AA he hit .295 with a .416 OBP. 23 db, 7 tp, 7 HR, and 45 SB's.
Mejia, Yandy and Allen are my three favorite hitting prospects. Willi Castro is a prospect too, IMO. Need to see him at AA before I get too excited though.

Re: Minor Matters
7439Cool thanks - you won't be surprised Mejia and Allen are already owned.
And I did claim Castro too - and Erik Gonzalez just in case.

Re: Minor Matters
7440I think it's a good bet Gonzalez and Castro will be every day players, how good I don't know yet of course. But only thing hurting their value for you right now is a guy named Lindor... LOL
Gonzalez would be starting SS on a lot of teams right now. Really surprised he wasn't traded.
