Good reports on physical progress of Tyler Esplin, Jordan, Casas, Bryan Bello, Brendan Cellucci, and Feltman, who should get a bump up in the rankings here after the powers that be read the article. Positive words for Jordan and Grullon defense. Crockett's min-scouting report on Liu.
Two mentions of SoxProspects, too (including one of Ian).
Addressing the above here rather than in the other thread because that's just a links thread. Just want to say 1) we got reports on every player from Instructs and feel comfortable with where he's ranked, and 2) I don't see whatever it is that you're seeing that says he should be moved up. He's a relief-only guy who couldn't figure out what his best secondary pitch was last year and walked 31 guys in 51.1 IP. I think the fact that he's in the top 30 is a good indication of good upside, but you'd have a hard time convincing me to move him much higher than that. He moved up five spots from 33 to 28 as it is. I would totally move him up from 33 to 28!
Oh, you did that already. Never mind!
(I did quickly read the 21-60 page, but I sort of missed him.)

Koss enters at 36 (conveniently requiring little editing after Aybar exits from 32)

I just found my 2019 BA Handbook that I've been looking for for weeks. It was in an envelope from Amazon on my doorstep! (I had never ordered it.)
Where guys ranked 2 years ago is telling. The 2021 Handbook isn't out till Feb. 23, at which point we can do that comparison. But since I can't wait, here's a look comparing the current SP rankings to the top 20 in the Ratings History. Only 4 guys in the current top 30 could have been in the top 20 two years ago but weren't (Ward, Bello, Bazardo, Jorge Rodriguez), so I've noted where Alex had them. I'm subtracting 2 for Chavis and Darwinzon, the only graduates, who were ranked 1 and 2.
Edit: these rankings are now as of this date.
Casas 1 Downs acquired Mata 5
Duran 14
Jimenez 18
Dalbec 3
Houck 4
Ward 41
Seabold acquired
Ramirez 47 (yet to debut)
Song drafted Groome 2
Yorke drafted Bonaci > 60 (yet to debut) Rosario acquired Lugo drafted Potts acquired Murphy drafted Jordan drafted Decker 9
Wong acquired Bello 31
Wallace acquired Zeferjahn drafted Arauz acquired Bazardo 40
Rodriguez, J. > 60
Feltman 8
Wilson acquired Whitlock acquired
Where are they now?
Flores 6 > 42 Chatham 7 > 39 Shawaryn 10 > X Howlett 11 > 38 Diaz 12 > 58 Lakins 13 > n/a
Ockimey 15 > 59
Northcut 16 > x
Sherff 17 > x Shugart 19 > 53
Lin 20 > n/a

What date do you want? I can give you the full rank. If we're going to do this right, ranking as of this date. If putting up the full 60 is easy, that would be interesting for everyone, I think.
It's worth noting that Mata, Duran, and Jimenez moved ahead of Dalbec and Houck despite the latter two having very successful MLB debuts. That more than offsets Flores and Diaz fading.

I have to learn how to use Archive.org. Did they get all of the IMDB message boards? Well, that would be a week out of my life ...\
Meanwhile, my post above has been revised.

Miguel Bleis slides right into Chatham's spot at #38.
