Pugs, I think maybe we should let the other folks vote, just to make it look good! I will get ready to cut-and-paste your selections when I tally them up, OK?

But there are a few things I really like about Komar. He’s big and strong and durable.Komar is 6’0 and 200 lbs?

AAA: Thompson, McGreevey, Graceffo, Robberse, Kloffenstein, Santos with Connor Thomas and Liberatore becoming full-time relievers.
I don’t see where Drew Rom is here. I think he would certainly start in AAA in 2024.
AA: Hence, Roby, Rajcic, Hjerpe, Komar, Bedell with Cornwell, Lunn, and Pereira becoming relievers. I actually think Lunn will likely just be released.
I think Cornwell was stay as a starter for another year, but I don’t have Komar in there.
High A: Baker, Love, Paniagua, Mautz, Rincon, and Matthews with Mills becoming a reliever. I’m least confident about this group because it feels like any or all of Baker, Love, and Paniagua would be best served moving to AA as relievers.
Love will be out to begin the year due to TJS in June. You did leave out Pete Hanson though, who would be here. I think Mills stays as a starter here also, while Matthews starts in Low-A like Hansen and Mautz did this past year.
I think Lunn may make successful move to the bullpen. He is a 2 pitch pitcher who should add a little velocity there.

43. Yeager
44. Iadisernia“Yeager would already be listed long ago if we simply voted according to production, but his lack of power robs him of any potential value. The best-case scenario of him flying through leagues to provide us with a first baseman who hits .270 with 12ish home runs leaves me casting my votes elsewhere even though I consider him each round as a guy we overlook.”
That is certainly true Nigel. Frankly his stats are oddly similar to John Nogowski, so probably not a bad comp for him. But at 6-2 200 there may be a bit of projection left for him to reach a different gear. Not a terrible 40 something prospect.
It’s interesting to note the pitchers from the 2023 draft, who threw little or no innings professionally. Guys like Worley, Harrison, Savacool, etc could leap up the prospect list.
Cardinals27, I just realized that my spreadsheet I made up for preparing my own list completely neglected to include anyone from the 2023 draft who doesn’t have game stats, like Mathews. Egad. I will blame the Cardinals and their coddling.
42. Willis
43. Thomas
44. RJ Yeager. I think he’ll be an AAAA guy, but the guy who makes it to the top without ever quite getting over the top still is valuable in the system at this point in the proceedings.Willis-17/ Iadisernia-13/ Santos-13/ Thomas-13/ Siani-12/ Love-9/ Church-4/ Yeager-3/ Rivas-2/ Komar-2/ Cordoba-1/ Pino-1

44. SantosWow! This was a very close one! I used the tie-breaker with the earliest vote getter getting the nod. That meant that Connor Thomas just missed out on the third spot! I applaud all of you for continuing voting for these later prospects to complete our list. We have been having a consistent 15 people voting each time!
And sorry, Pugs. At least two of your picks made the cut this time!Indeed, my clean sweep was just one mere tally away, cardsfan64. Well, let’s get back on track here with my next 3 selections:
45. Siani
46. Thomas
47. Church
I know it’s not a game thread, but let’s sprinkle in din-din from this evening so to rekindle summer memories, shall we? Two dogs smothered in raw onions and yellow mustard, deviled eggs, macaroni shrimp salad, 3 Popeye’s apple cinnamon pies and some wonderful tasting Minute Maid Zero Sugar fruit punch to wash her all down with.
45. Connor Thomas
46. Nick Robertson
47. Charles HarrisonI figure Tyler O’Neill was worth a top 50 prospect.
I also decided to include one of the 2023 draft picks with no game stats which I forgot to incude in my matrix for my list.

Yes, I believe Nicholas Parker “Big Country” Robertson can no longer be classified as a rookie, LouisEu. He is still well under 50 innings pitched, but I think he has exceeded 45 service days.
