  1. Thank you everyone for putting the time and effort in making/compiling this list. This is incredibly well done (as are the prior list). On the hole, I'd be interested in your takes on how this top 30 compares the prior years. The Angels are still listed in the mid to low 20's, but I see some solid prospects here (much more than in the past). And, although some of our top pitching prospects (Bachman cough cough, and Rodriguez) are let down in terms of starting, both could become elite relievers which is nothing to shake a stick at. I am very curious to what a post-Art minor league system will look like.
  2. Great job and great summary. I noticed we put a premium on power with the position players we drafted.
  3. I know there is a lot of negativity (and rightfully so) around our organization, but the one good thing we did last year was add a lot of quality arms to our farm system in last year's draft. If we do that again, we'll be following the trajectory of the Braves' farm system back in 2017-18. I actually am cautiously optimistic on Perry's ability to rebuild the farm. Eppler took a lot of gambles and then rushed his gambles, which I think left us with poor results. Now, whether Perry is good enough in managing our roster remains to be scene, and I am not sure I like how he pushed Silseth way too fast, but that aside, we picked up a lot of quality arms in 2021. If we do that again, our farm system will be much more stable than it is now.
  4. I am hoping for Barriera and hope someone like Reggie Crawford falls to us in round 3. I could also see us taking someone like Dylan Lesko (despite his TJ) or Gabriel Hughes, and sign them to under slot value, and then pick best available in third and/or fourth round and sign them to over slot value.
  5. Honest question about Erstad and just college coaches in general. How many college coaches at a single school for 5+ years without making it to the college world series have ever produced at the Major League level? The two sports (college and pro's) are completely different and he's only shown moderate success in the former and has no experience in the ladder. His biggest selling point is he made the Dodgers top three, but since then he's been out of baseball for the most part. Doesn't hiring someone with that pedigree (please imagine his name wasn't Darrin Eristad) really leave you scratching your head?
  6. Some revised prospect rankings are starting to trickle out. There seems to be more buzz about Werner Blakely and Edgar Quero. I would also include guys like Guzman and Placencia but both were highly rated international signees if I am not mistaken. But Blakely and Quero are really putting together nice seasons. I wouldn't at all be surprised if one or both of them start next year as a top 5 or 10 prospect in the organization.
  7. Rengifo is s catching on. As long as he continues to be serviceable at 2nd, he could stick that spot while we let Vasquez and Fletcher duke it out for short.
  8. I agree dude, wholeheartedly. I almost wished there was a separate message board just for minor leagues with different threads focusing on different players. There are quite a bit of posters who provide good insight. The minor league discussion thread is my favorite part of Angelswin.
  9. Thor looked dreadful. I was talking him up earlier, but without his dominant velocity, when his secondary stuff is completely off and he doesn't have the monster fastball to make-up for it, the wheels will come off fast. Thus far, he looks like a # 3-4 at best. He's not going to command a top dollar contract.
  10. Remember, we have a double-header on Saturday. I am sure that has something to do with the day off and extra rest.
  11. I am curious, at one time do we start looking at signing an extension with him, and if we do, what do you think it will look like? Also, does anyone have any concern about his drop in velocity? It's fine where it is now, but do you also have concerns that it will continue to drop precipitously over the next couple of years like it did for Bundy, and others like him?
  12. Trout needs to wear a padded glove to protect the back of his left hand. Lord knows he wears that mitten when he slides. I certainly hope it's not broke. I do expect him to miss the next series though to give it time to heal. At the minimum it is badly bruised. In the mean time, quit this platooning shit, play Marsh and Walsh every day.
  13. Brett Kerry's stats this year (I know it's early) are silly. He didn't make any top 30 lists, but was a 5th round pick last year. His draft bios seemed promising (projecting more as a reliver than anything). What's the story on him?
