Lord the Mariners farm is just overflowing with great position player prospects. Emerson, Young, Ford, Celesten, Farmelo. Fingers crossed Robert goes on an absolute tear.

Ok?

As they should. They desperately need to acquire some high end position player prospects. Robert to the Mariners for some sort of Emerson/Cole Young package would make me feel much better about the future.

Sounds like Getz and team ended up with the correct pitchers from San Diego. (As of current time at least.) Law on 5 falling prospects. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5538195/2024/06/04/mlb-prospect-ranking-falling-prospects/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mlbtw&source=mlbtw

Yea. I haven't compared the two lists, but there's only one player who's ranking has gone down instead of up. River Ryan.

Keith Law posted his updated top 50. Calls it more of a check-in then a full update though. Colson and Schultz are the only two White Sox prospects on the list. Schultz jumped Colson from 79 to 23. Colson is now number 33 from a preseason ranking of 42. Blurbs below. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5530418/2024/06/03/mlb-top-50-prospects-in-season-holliday/?source=emp_shared_article

Schultz good.

OK Burke. We see you.

Burke coming back and being a dude would be fantastic.

Fedde for Beavers. Get it done.

I actually don't hate Wetherholt. Might be on an island here with that.

Left out the sleeper watch section. Support BA if yall can. The work is great,

Most publications are indicating they wouldn't continue to pitch him. Law wrote the following in his latest mock where he has the Sox picking Jac:

If the system wasn't so bereft of impact position players I would be falling over myself to draft Hagen Smith. I still might be regardless of that.

Yea. I've drooled over the clips. The bat just needs to be special and It does often look that way. Just asking myself why I would want Cags if I'm also not into Kurtz. Andrew Vaughn has pretty much eliminated my desire to draft any 1st basemen with an early first round pick.

Am I the only one who has pause with Cags? The fact that he won't be pitching, is a 1B, and teams are concerned about the chase rate worries me. I would feel a lot better about dude if he had a different defensive outlook.

FSS Plus Mock 5.0 Still have the Sox on the prep bats. https://futurestarsseries.com/2024-mlb-draft-mock-draft-5-0/ Hagen Smith falling to 12 is the absolute nuts.

Carlos did a check-in on 1st round picks in his newsletter. I was kind of shocked how poor a lot of these first rounders are doing. https://carloscollazo.substack.com/p/issue-12-checking-in-on-2023-first

Jacob Gonzalez has an RBI double to the RF wall in his second at bat.

Wrong thread.

Yikes.
