caulfield12 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Mar 13, 2015 -> 04:48 PM) I would switch out Micah and Danish, Adolfo is right where he should be in my opinion. The only caveat is reserving that ranking until Micker tears up Kanny without a 35-40% k rate. Edited March 13, 2015 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 QUOTE (SCCWS @ Mar 13, 2015 -> 10:21 PM) I think the confusion comes on how the writer arrives at his rating. I could be wrong, but I think position has an impact. He uses the standard 5 categories: hit, power, run etc and he averages the five scores. But if you notice Adolfo scores slightly higher than Johnson but is rated below him. Hawkins rates slightly higher than Trey but he also ranks slighly lower. I wonder if he ranks outfielders lower than infielders when the numbers are in the same range??? finally someone who can think of a possible standard. i have been asking for something like this for many yrs. however, i would love to hear the author's reasoning. on FS NSS put up a list of the top 8. one has anderson rated higher than rodon. if this cause some headaches. i can imagine what the other one would do.

LDF Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 the great thing about the sox top prospect that this site make or create, we as fans are spoiled. whereas we the fans can not get a reason in their thought process, these good folks can be asked and they will explain it all. this is indeed a luxury to have, in other words, spoiling us the fans. good job on FS top prospect list.

"Next wave"? If he didn't arrive for 5 years he'd still be 23 and young for the big leagues. That's like 3-4 waves away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like 3-4 waves away. exactly, he would be leading that wave of prospects. the immediate group are the ones we are discussing, the Rodon, MJ, Danish etc ... group he should start leading the next wave after that one. the new players who didn't make the top list, the new group of int't players, the next group of drafted players. in other words the continuation of incoming prospects. we as fans been watching Danish, Hawkins, Andersron grow as players, i just want to see that with Mickler.

It is too early, especially when you consider his situation but the reports of him coming out of instructs said that he made improvements to his game. With Micker, all you want to hear is that he is improving and that he is holding his own. This is his age 18 season after all. I think Micker might have the highest ceiling in the system and he could be one of the best prospects in all of baseball in the next couple of years.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Dang I was going to pick LaRoche for the HR contest but unfortunately they don't put it up the night before and was working today. . Exciting seeing Hawkins hit. Small sample size but a good year and suddenly he might be a top 100 prospect. That would be killer . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
