    Re: 2022 Prospect List Season (Who's in the Top 100? These Guys)

    I like Law's rankings the best of what I've seen so far. Greene is clearly an elite prospect IMO. 12 is more in the range where he should be as compared to the 30s or higher.

    I also think Lodolo has a lower ceiling and coming off a season with only 50 innings it's right to exclude him until he shows he can pitch an entire season at the upper levels. He's too much a question mark.

    Guys with a lot of potential and good but not great showings at lower levels like McClain and de la Cruz are rightly placed in the bottom half of the top 100. When they repeat it at AA they can move into the top 50.

    If Law knows something about Lodolo, this makes all sorts of sense from his perspective.

    I agree with you in how Law grades out questionable approaches and tools through AA. (That said, it doesn't seem to be consistent with pitching.)

    The long-standing story with Law is he does not know something.

    No Lidolo is one thing, but no Max Meyer and Emerson Hancock is another. His evaluation of pitchers appears particularly poor.

    Looks like the right list. Maybe add McClain. Greene is about 15 spots too low.

    Show some conviction with Elly, Kiley.

    That 100 spot is often just a “I don’t want to be accused of missing the boat” rank.

    Good list, surprisingly. My man Torres needs to be higher.

    Torres will have to prove his bat is for real. Negative scouting reports are hella hard to overcome. Getting hammered with that weak stick scouting report is years of good numbers from changing the paradigm.

    Yeah that's a good summary, its a very nice top 6 and then a sort of well we'll see list.
