A lot of our farm system was dumped during this trade deadline.  Most (not all, but most) were from Eppler's regime.  I am thinking the current FO and player devo department has a different take on which prospects to keep and which to trade.

We'll see how this ultimately turns out, and how good Perry is at determining who to keep and who to trade.

This is my takeaway as well.

Jeremiah Jackson is being a bit overrated right now. He hasn't taken that next step we've been hoping he would take years ago. However, the return is still pretty weak and I would have rather kept Jackson.

I remember there a few people who were not happy we paid Matt Moore instead of Chafin. 

MOVIN ON UP!

The Astros number 1 and arguably number 2 prospect. Clifford has been having a great year.

2 well hit balls with nothing to show for Cron

I like Canning a lot. Please don't let this be another injury. I also like Canning a lot and hope if he's traded it's for someone legit..

Jorge Marcheco has continued to dominate even with the promotion to High-A Tri-City:

23.1 IP 27 SO 0.77 WHIP

Duality of man

Bush has also been VERY underwhelming this season after hoping he’d take it to the next level but I’m chalking that up to injuries.

The Moniak and Syndergaard trade was already a huge win but the fact that Jadiel Sanchez is looking like a potential future  4th outfielder this season already adds to that.

Albright stock going up this season.

Ah so that’s why they waited so long to call up Cabbage. The error will go to Neto but that’s an easy pick at first.

I actually think he's headed to Tri Cities first.

Yeah I agree. Similar to what they did with Neto. Definitely have to take the numbers he puts up there with a grain of salt though.

Awesome now get this guy to Rocket City

I’m definitely no scout but there’s a lot to like about Kent’s pitching mechanics

Gotta say I’m really underwhelmed by this draft. 

Almost feels like they drafted to restock the AA team after they made a plan to buy at the deadline, and then the last 10 games fucked that idea and they had no time to pivot.

I’m a fan of the hitters that they have been targeting. Seems like although they’re college bats there’s a decent amount of a ceiling as well. The pitchers I’m very underwhelmed on but that’s because I can’t really find much on any of them other than the prep arm.

I really like this pick

Was legit hoping for another version of Sam Bachman.

Both gingers? Corner infield Bachman

Now that the nerves are gone hopefully that’s more of what we see from Victor Mederos
