holy shit...I can't even anymore. Wtf.... guess with Rendon going down, it was just a matter of games for trout to follow.

Not really, I would say it was back in 2014 that the system was ranked the "worst system ever" . There's still potential and high end talent in this system, and also some disappointments. I won't lie, we are pretty lack-lustered on the offense side of things, but the overall system is not the worst. Like I said in my previous post, I think there are 4 guys that could be in the top 100 or top 150 range.

No doubt about the power projection and size difference. However, Rada's lack of power is easily compensated by his speed upside. Plus, it's not as if De Paula is hitting many home runs at the moment. Overall, with Rada, you're looking at a ceiling of a top-of-the-lineup base stealer and a Gold Glove centerfielder, while with De Paula, you're looking at a middle-of-the-order bat as an above-average corner outfielder.

Light that baby up! Adios bandwagoners!

fixed!

That's Vanessa Hudgens power! Break the curse!

Fucken mental midgets.

Now just got to get Rengifo in the 3 hole

well looks like the game is over Grand slam incoming.

I mean in his defense and ours, we had Joe Maddon as the manager and no one truly knew but he was going to do.

It's early and he's only in A+, but I'm liking the high BB and low K-rate he's shown. 16% bb and close to a 12 % K rate. AA might be the true test for him. Flint, nothing too fancy and none of his skills stick out, but he's one of those guys that plays like an "good-player/ above-average player" that potentially finds himself up in the Major. plus the system is pretty dreadful on the offense side

And I'm gone disagreed with this take; not everyone that Hits 30 + (Gallo, Stanton) homeruns is considered a superstar. Plus, of the four guys that you've listed I would consider Seager a superstar. While Lindor and Vlad Jr in the All-star group and Alonso in the verry good to bottom end All-star type of player. All I will say is that Neto/Schaneul upside is more than just "good-Player" It may take a year or 2, or it never happens. Plus a Superstar is a player like trout; Acuna, Othani, Judge. A guy that puts up 6+ War each year. even I'm hesitated in calling Adell's current ceiling a superstar. All-star is a guys that average about 4 to 5.9 war each year , which I think is Adell's current ceiling. Than I have the Very Good Tier, basically 3.5 to 3.9 War type of guys with a few All-star appearances; That to me is Neto/Schanuel ceiling is. The good-players for me is the 2.0-2.4 War guys, anything under 2 I would consider Average.

Also Flint and Redfield are two guys that are climbing in the system and might be worth keeping an eye on.

What's really caught my attention about Fontenelle is his impressive record of 10 stolen bases in 17 games. That's pretty impressive, especially for a runner seen as below average It really just sounds like he is a really smart player. For me he's been the biggest riser in our system, basically I have him 4th, and looking at the top 100 list and top 10 3rd baseman, by mid-season if he can keep producing, I can see him in the 90-100 range and in the bottom 3 next to Yohandy Morales in the ranking. Talking about the top 100 and our system; my personal notes/takes 1. Dana rises to the number 1 spot in my rankings, and I place him in a tier similar to Horton and Painter, who are among the top 30 and top 4 or 5 right-handed pitchers 2. Rada drops to 2nd place, but it seems like he's finally starting to see the ball better in AA. Honestly, many young prospects in AA are struggling. Due to his age, I'd put him in the range of the top 40 to 75 prospects. You know what kind of annoys me? The Dodgers' Josue De Paula is included in most top 100 lists, yet Rada, who is the same age, putting up similar numbers in their Minor League careers, and at a higher level, is not. 3. Kent climbs to # 3, his ERA of 5.19 does not look pretty, but I've watched two of his starts, and hitters are having trouble picking up his pitches. There is potential four above-average or better pitches here. Just needs to improve his command/control. due to his age and upside he has shown, I think he has the chance to slide in the 85 to 100 range, especially if he shown the command/control from his first start. 4. Fontenelle climbs up to this spot and I've already highlighted him, and I think h could fall in the top 85 to 100 range by Mid-season or season's end. We could have four guys climb up into the top by the end of the season, not including the Draft picks.

I have to disagree,while Adell exhibits the highest upside among Neto and Schanuel. Labeling Neto's or Schanuel's upside as merely 'good-player' undermines their true potential. I would say that their upsides lean more towards All-Star caliber rather than just being 'good players'."

i It honesty just feels like the line-up isn't fully connected, plus the struggles and lack of power from certain guys isn't helping. Hopefully with Hicks getting DFA,it's the first step of changing that. Personally If I have to say, I'm fine with Trout and Adell at the top, after that I don't agreed. Here's but I would do/have done. 1. Bring up Wallace and make him the 2ndary C. Place Sano on the 10 day Il to get him both the proper time and rest. 2. My line-up would be: 1. Trout CF 2. Adell Rf 3. Rengifo 3rd 4.Ward Lf 5. O'hoppe C 6. Thaiss DH 7. Drury 2nd 8. Schanuel 1b 9. Neto SS

Adell at the 2-hole, I'll take it!Just got to move Rengifo to the 3-hole, O'hoppe to the 5-spot and than oray the rest of the line-up does something.

over or under on the Phils scoring 7 runs.

1 gone, 1 more to go!

Just keep him in AA, we see from Neto, Adell, Detmers etc that there is no real reason to call him up.

it's been the same bs past 3 years. Rendon goes down and these mental midgets break down. it's been the same bs past 3 years; Rendon goes down, teams 7 to 8 straight, trout follows and than the rest.

Hicks and Suarez....how and why are they still on the team

Grawd damn how does Suarez survive this long? dude been garbage and will continue to be garbage

Suarez isn't the same pitcher from 2021 and 2022,He been garbage the past 2 years and time to DFA.

Well, everyone has there own takes and for me after watching 2 of those 6 innings, I'd give him a shot
