DetailsSummary- Henry Owens moved ahead of Garin Cecchini into the 3rd spot. That's a new high ranking for Henry.
- Mookie Betts also hit a new high, moving up 3 to # 14.
- Bryce Brentz dropped 3 positions to 18.
- Simon Mercedes moved up from 38 to 34.
- Brock Huntzinger and Jeremy Hazelbaker both fell 5 slots to 39 & 40 respectively.
- Kyle Stroup, # 54 last week, is not in the top 60 this time around.

Glad others are high on Owens without doubts. I am still lobbying for Workman to grade 5 instead of 4. If he is not going to be a backend starter, then he is still a high leverage reliever.

It's been a pretty amazing year for the system when you consider that Barnes and Swihart have DROPPED this year and rank 8th and 9th respectively. They'd be top prospects in some systems...

Yes, we've seen your posts. Full disclosure, if I can be frank about this: when you post something like this repeatedly, it actually makes us want to do it less. Makes us feel like we're responding to posts rather than just projecting based on what we've seen and heard. |

I see your point, but I have been annoying people all my life and am too old to change now. So I will cite these grounds.
The Prospect Scouting Scale for pitchers says Grade 5 is a #4/#5 starter or second tier closer. Technically there is an omission as first division closer is grade 6 and reliable reliever is grade 4.
Presumably a first division setup man is better than "reliable RP" and hence should slot in at grade 5.
The page for Workman cites:
"Projects as an 8th inning reliever or back end starter", not ceiling of.
Regardless of whether I fully agree with this assessment, which I do, that defines a grade of 5.
