DetailsThis week only I'm going to include the changes we'd have seen in the prospect list if the draftees had not been added in. It gives a better idea of any real change in the player's ranking. Summary
- Brian Johnson is up 2 now at # 8.
- Rafael Devers stays at 11, but his current grade is up from 4 to 5.
- # 1 draftee Michael Chavis is ranked at # 12.
- Trey Ball is down 3 to # 16 (adjusted to exclude draftees it would have been -2)
- 2nd rounder Michael Kopech is at 17.
- Drake Britton is down 2 to 18 (even)
- Travis Shaw down 2 (even) but his current grade is up from 3 to 4.
- Third pick Sam Travis is at # 20.
- Steven Wright is up from 33 to 27, but that's up 10 excluding the new guys.
- Miguel Celestino up 7 to # 30 (+11)
- Joe Gunkel & Carlos Asuaje are both unchanged at 31 & 32 (+4)
- Nick Longhi at 33 is up 7 (+11)
- The Alex Wilson, Alex Hassan, Bryce Brentz are -8 at 34 -36 (-4)
- Corey Littrell, Justin Haley, & Cody Kukuk all drop by 15 this week to 37, 39, & 40
- Justin Haley stays put at 38th (+4)
- Karsten Whitson, 11th pick, is ranked 50th.
- Josh Ockimey, 5th, is # 54.
- No longer ranked this week are:
- Ty Buttrey, 44th last week
- Daniel McGrath, 45th
- Myles Smith, 46th
- Aaron Kurcz, 54th
- Mickey :-SPena, 55th
- Dedgar Jiminez, 60th

Indeed, you'd think a 2-7 5 (11 and 12) would be better than a 2-6 5.

Indeed, you'd think a 2-7 5 (11 and 12) would be better than a 2-6 5. This may be an oversight with Johnson moving up recently. Mike can answer that for sure. Beyond that, it is certainly possible for a 2-6 5 player to be a better prospect than a 2-7 5 player. The scale says nothing about distribution of probability. The 2-7 5 player could have the following odds (simplified): 2- 40% 5- 50% 7- 10% While the 2-6 5 player could have these odds: 2- 10% 5- 50% 6- 40% (7- 0%) Both players project to a 5 as the most likely outcome. Player A has a higher ceiling. They have similar floors. And player B is the better prospect. |

I keep hearing how Johnson has such a high floor (from posters, not staff), which doesn't jive with the 2 ranking. I could understand this, except that Barnes, who seems to have more to learn to even be successful at the upper minors, is listed with a higher floor. Are posters just talking about the higher chance of reaching his projection and/or ceiling? Is there another explanation? Not asking anyone to defend their position, just curious for more information/thinking.

Mike, how much time would you estimate you put into this site in the average week? How much just for the ranking updates?
