Does that have all the new draftees? I saw a list (maybe the Athletic) that has them on their and some many were in the top 50-100. Seemed crazy to me.

Ashcraft was mentioned in the "just missed" section.

Yes new draftees are included.

Greene seems about 40 spots too low, and I’d probably have McLain in the 80-100 range. Barrero and Lodolo seem reasonable though. Same for Ashcraft (agree with “Just Missed”)

lmao @ 48 for greene.

FWIW Keith Law released his updated top 50 prospects on 7/22 on The Athletic:

3.) Hunter Greene
31.) Matt McLain

BA full out is putting Greene at 48 because they don’t want to make their preseason non-ranking look ever worse. They are a clown show at this point.

So with Greene's obvious low rating based on reasons RedTeamGo! laid out we basically have 3 top 20 prospects in all of MLB. Add in Ashcraft, McLain, and a few of our projects turning out and we're looking really good over the next 5-7 years.

Yeah, I am convinced that is the case too and almost posted as such. There is no way he should have went unranked due to his upside alone. I feel like BA is really good on the position side of things but their pitcher ratings are so inconsistent.

Who'd have thought Barrero would be a top 20 prospect after how last season went. What a rise!

To me it is not that surprising, I have held onto him strongly in some deep dynasty leagues. He was the talk of baseball in early spring training before Covid ended things, and was sure to shoot up the rankings if we had a normal 2020 season. It's not a surprise that he has bounced back after clearly not being ready to be at the MLB level. What was surprising to me is how low he was ranked pre-season.

All three guys, plus McClain, should be hugged tightly. I like Ashcraft and Callihan too.

The rest can and should be used to make the big league club better. Not saying trade em all, but I wouldn’t be mad to see Senzel, Hendrick, Richardson, Siani or even Ashcraft used to bring in help now.

Depends on the return for me.

I'd prefer to keep all three of Lodolo, Greene, and Ashcraft (as I remember the Lost Decade and hoard pitching).

Barrero, I'd keep unless he's the key to a first division starting SS. (Or they plan on signing a first division SS FA.)

I'm keeping McLain too, but it's Ibarra who isn't allowed to go anywhere. (Not that anyone could make him.)

[Benihana]

Greene and Barrero would be my two biggest untouchables, with Lodolo a distant third. Anyone else is tradable in the right deal.

I hope Ashcraft is more deGrom or Mahle at a minimum, but I also remember the days of Daniel Corcino and Dave Sappelt well.
