Stragglers

A few stragglers have leaked through. I am doing them as I work on the Rockies, and will incorporate them in the team lists previously posted.

KNOWN STRAGGLERS

Noel Arguelles, LHP, Royals: Grade C+. Live-armed Cuban defector, not Chapman but supposedly talented, though didn't throw as hard in workouts as he did in Cuba.
Estarlin De Los Santos, SS, Twins: Grade C: Quick Dominican shortstop protected on 40-man roster, fast but lacks power and plate discipline.
Scott Maine, LHP, Cubs: Grade C: Acquired from Arizona in November, Maine is a Grade C relief prospect but I like him as a potential source of quality filler innings. Good K/IP and K/BB marks.
Jimmy Paredes, 2B, Yankees: Decent tools and played well in the New York-Penn League. Grade C at this point, has the potential to move beyond that if he hones the strike zone.

Didn't see it at the time

but I was surprised when I found that Wade Gaynor didn’t make the Tigers top 40.

gaynor

He was so horrible in the NY-P that I cut him for space reasons. There will be more cuts. Watch for a seperate post on that.

Whoever said John normally rates International Guys as a C+...

Kudos to you. Is the reason for the aggressive grade on Chapman the fact that we do have some scouting data, i.e. the WBC? I’m just interested as to why there is such a large discrepancy.

yeah

Yeah, pretty much this is the reason…we have more data about chapman against competition, a lot more video for me to look at rather than just scouting reports, etc.
