LOL with Watson being the #1 top prospect so soon.   

 

At least it actually MEANS something now if our draft pick gets placed at the top of our list.

I remember the days when our first rounder every year immediately became our top prospect ...

😆That’s true.  We have 3-4 guys that could make the #1 prospect on nearly  any team.  No knock on Watson, he’s just not on a B. Harper level to get that ranking yet straight out of HS.

Watson ranks 28th overall on MLB top prospects. 

I always find this stupid. Yeah he’s talented but he’s also very far away and unproven at any level.  I know prospects are all about potential but I never like when a kid out of high school leaps up the list that quick.

I think draft picks shouldn't have a ranking until they've played at least a third of a season's worth of games. After 6-8 weeks you should be able to see how good he is.

 

I feel the same for College Football rankings. Don't start to do em til Week 6. Lol.

And he fell in the draft at 16 just a month ago.  Not complaining, but they are really hyping him up.

Eury Perez is going to be a top 10 prospect in baseball before he’s called up. I hope we don’t move him. What he’s doing at 18 is phenom-esque.

And he's not done growing or filling out. His fastball is touching upper 90s already, imagine just a little more muscle behind that pitch ...

A slow and controlled weight increase over a couple years ... might be amazing.

I disagree. Body, mechanics, swing etc are  pretty gradeable. Fish got away with one by getting him imo
