I know that we have beaten the Beckham thing to death but maybe John can do a brief list smackdown.

true, but since yours isn't a carbon copy, I'll give you a comment.

I like how they have Archer higher than John due to upside alone, but think John is more right with his placement of Mahtook, and Guyer.

Agreed on all 3

My experience is that college bats have the best chance to maintain their form and Mahtook did nothing to discourage that for me. His floor is pretty high.

I have had limited viewings of Archer but from what i have seen, his stuff works as high leverage relief right now, so I think his floor is underrated as well. And as you say his upside (as a starter) is still worth pursuing.
