A lot of MLB relief pitchers are just converted starters. Except for designated closers, relievers aren't really cared about at the minor league level.

Do you mean the best from every team or just lack of relievers here? Cause relievers at the minor league level aren’t really a thing unless you’re a designated closer. Also most of the relievers in the mlb were failed starters.

I believe it, he’s already one of the top contact hitters in baseball with his insane strikeout rate and two strike hit percentage and that was just his rookie season. Kid is going to be in a White Sox lineup that will gas pitchers so I could easily see him having plenty of 4 hit games throughout a season.

[@samuelsandate9804]

Forrest Whitley will be a stud for the Astros. With Verlander gone and Grienke gone after 2021, he needs to step up huge for the Astros.

[@Klxws]

Quinn Preister has raised his stock massively at the instructional league apparently. According to Jim Callis & Jonathan Mayo every one they talk to that’s seen him pitch since last year give glowing reviews about his stuff improving drastically and his command remaining good. Keibert Ruiz deserves his spot, a catcher who will slash you .300/.350/.450 with 15-20 HR while playing average defense is an all-star.

[@r3h0l3s7]

it's amazing how every prospect is a can't miss til they do. When in reality only like a handful will be standout, while the rest are roster fillers in a few seasons. It's like rating an NFL draft the day after it is completed, what are you basing it on. Potential is a possibility not a certainty, and these guys in A and AA aren't facing Kershaw, Scherzer, DeGrom, Cole level opposition. As Mets fans, we should know that great expectations often provide great disappointment.

He wasn’t under the influence. That report that he was was false. He was driving a sick kid and pregnant wife to the hospital and hit the motorcycle driving on the wrong side of the road with no lights on at 1 AM. Also he played Dominican ball and will probably come up with the Pirates this year.

[@wicklebee]

Mariners have 6 prospects, half of them are Outfielders. Half are pitchers. We've got a few young guys in a great Kyle Lewis (also an OF), an iffy JP Crawford, and Shed Long who I don't have much of an opinion of. So we have 4 OF guys, meaning one of these great prospects is going to be at most an occasional guy, and then we'll be staring at a market that Dipoto has never played properly for the corners, behind the plate, and probably a better SS. Just a reminder that Dipoto has said we're in it for the long game. The long game that our fantastic prospect that was RotY in 2001 is retired and that year was his only playoff berth with the team.

[@jonathonedwardmiller]

The scare is that Meyer is 6 ft tall and not this huge 6'4 guy like starters normally are. But if guys like Stroman and Cone and Pedro can do it, so can Meyer. I think he'll be a very scary starter in the league

[@jayp.6166]

I may be a bit bias but Nate Pearson dropping to 10th this year doesn't make sense to me. Sure his debut outings were forgettable at best, but he was a 24 year old starting pitching making his debut during a global pandemic. Training for two months, out of nowhere being put on hiatus for 5 months and then jumping in to an MLB season with essentially no pre-season is going to be tough for the best of players. Look at all the superstars across the league who struggled this season. I agree that he's probably the #2 pitching prospect behind Gore but I would have had Pearson in that 5-7 range. Also, I would have like to see Austin Martin a bit higher.

I still think people don’t realize just how good Marco Luciano is. Jim Callis has straight up said that his limited minor league experience is probably the only reason he’s not a Top 5 prospect right now. He already projects him to have 40 homer power, and also said that he thinks he will be the number 1 prospect in baseball in 2022.
