ron883 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Gotta love what Colas is doing. He looks like the real deal so far. I wonder if they move him to AA in the near future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is a savage at the plate and has a big arm in RF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy seeing their take on things, but I generally view Fangraphs as being the least knowledgeable out of the major publications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'd say least knowledgable, but they definitely are very bullish on some players. Sometimes it's good to see a different opinion.

I've always felt that out of that group, Callis/Pipeline tend to be a little too generous at times when grading guys. Love all the work they put out though.

Disagree with you here, as it seems like Eric L. at Fangraphs has a more current viewing of these guys than most. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has always shown good plate discipline without much else but last couple years the bat has come alive. He has become a legit prospect and has potential to be a starting catcher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m speaking more historically than this particular list, which I’ve only skimmed so far. But in this case, they are publishing their list unusually late so I’d hope it be more current than BA & Pipeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, currently he has a big arm in CF, and according to people talking to James, has looked legit there (James, if I'm misquoting you, let me know). So, even more puzzling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BA gets way more views on any of our carolina rosters, so I doubt that. He's also definitely the 2nd worst evaluator, just ahead of callis/mlb pipeline. I've actually come around to BP despite some eccentricities. That said, I also could care less about arm strength for Outfield. I know it's a factor but push comes to shove, nobody gives a shit about it. Any team would throw a 1 armed outfielder out there if he could cover all the ground and hit like a maniac and get the ball in reasonably to the cut off man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I know him well. I don't get why it seems like players like Seby are still above him despite appearing much more flawed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 The one thing I will say about FG is they are the one group I am positive isn't largely copying their work from other groups. Their lists are always unique and unexpected. They see things in people that no one else sees. Sometimes it happens, others it doesn't, which goes with the territory.
