Update II

by John Sickels on May 6, 2025 5:16 PM EDT Comment 4 comments

Yesterday's game in Oklahoma City got rained out. Today's game was played, however, and I used my new video camera for the first time. Stanley Kubrick I ain't. . .not even Alan Smithee I guess. . .but I got some usable footage of Michael Ballard and Charlie Haegar. Now I just need to figure out how to post it..

Someone asked about the next version of the Rotowire Top 100. I don't see much of a point updating the list after just 20-25 minor league games. . .the sample sizes are still too small, especially for the pitchers. Getting ready for the draft is my main concern right now. I think the next update will be in late May or early June, then after that it will be updated once a month as the season progresses and the data builds up.

Next Hit-And-Run coming tomorrow morning.

Eye, that was me on the top 100 update

I asked more so because you mentioned Lambo in the same breath as LaPorta and they were so far apart on your list from February. I was wondering if your opinion of Lambo had majorly shifted since February.

In addition, Desmond Jennings is off to such a hot start and highly regarded by other top 100 lists I’ve seen (#25 on Keith Law for example), I was wondering if perhaps you would bump him up to the top 100 over say guys like Jon Jay, Josh Reddick, Michael Burgess, etc. I could understand be wary of him because of his injuries and his poor Arizona Fall League performance but he’s showing his promise now. It’s a small sample size but everything seems to be coming together now.

Jennings

Should be top 10. What can you not love about the guy? Toolsy, young, proven, he has mondo speed, hits XBHs like crazy, and has shown a great batting eye in the past (though not so much this year).

To me he’s Carl Crawford + 20 XBHs.
