Prospects Live has a new top draft prospects list out.

2022 MLB Draft - Top 400 Prospects — Prospects Live

Top 400 really reinforces a few things we’ve always believed… The Top 3 guys in this class are a cut above the rest. College hitters are good. Really good. And deep. The high school pitching in this class has the potential to be one of the stronger groups in recent memory. Termarr Johnson, Druw Jone

Well right or wrong they think Eli White swing has been revamped maybe Reks. And at least White is elite defensively. Not against giving him one final chance in a rebuild year

I liked the idea of getting Suzuki as he was a long term potentially elite solution

So it can potentially stall things. Definitely not the end of the world but just not seeing the urgency

if we add some the Invited-to-ST types we are going to have to cut maybe3 or 4 from the 40-man an Reks and White are probably at the top of that list

Probably, but things could look different in 3 months.

Matt Bush with a scoreless 5th.

I keep telling you. I saw him pitch the last game of the year in person. He still has it.

Bet he is on the squad and would not be surprised if he pitches late innings

Interesting

Blaine Crim, Dustin Harris, Josh Smith, Justin Foscue, Ezequiel Duran, and Davis Wendzel all have a chance to do well enough in the first half to get a look see in the second half. If that happens to two of those hitters and Cole Winn gets the same opportunity as a starting pitcher, we may be in for a really enjoyable second half of the season.

I really think the last 2 spots in our rotation are mainly for placeholders who will get replaced at some point of the season by Alexy and Winn.

After getting 2 outs, Leiter runs into trouble in his second inning of work.

Maybe Wendzel makes the squad unless one of the old heads get in

About damn time we had a pitcher who made other teams shit themselves. The last one we had was 2010 cliff lee I’d say.

pray for this guys health everyone.
