FYI, you can click on "Details" to see a spreadsheet breaking things down in their entirety.
But I'll give you the fish anyway: Eddie graduated. Diaz, Dahlstrand, Mike Miller, and Spruill fell off.

Absolutely agree that Devers is better than Moncada right now. We just have a much longer track record, more projection left, and less reliance on the look, which I am quite frankly skeptical of coming out of Cuba (not that it doesn't help him in the short run).
ADD:
I feel that Owens is underranked, but this was several weeks ago. Dunno how soon till he graduates, but his limited success in the majors, combined with the early season struggles (which seem to have an explanation) falling further into his past should boost him IMO. I definitely prefer him to Johnson right now, and possibly Margot.

Dropping Owens from grade 6 to 5 was short sighted. It was reported that he was working on a slider, and holding back on the changeup.
All the doubters claimed that his control was poor and that his deception would not work at the MLB level, and possibly that there was no comparable pitcher in the MLB having success (3 or better).
His one poor game of 4, he was still able to hang in there to complete 6 IP, which is much better than having to be pulled after 2-3 IP.
I thought he might struggle in the first year or two at the MLB level, before growing into a solid 3. Now I am wondering if he can be 2 starter next year.

I definitely prefer him to Johnson right now, and possibly Margot. I advocated for Devers over Moncada after the July 1 update, but I think I was wrong. Moncada has been unreal for the last 2 months and has one of the most well-rounded games you can have. I'm not sure what you mean by "look". He's legitimately producing. The fact that he has an ideal physical profile on top of his production is a good think. Devers has to hit and he has to hit for power. Moncada has a chance to contribute with his legs as well and has a lot more options on defense. |
