I guess, still some puzzling rankings all over, though. And I still think Nick Franklin is getting abused for getting hit in the head with a bat and having mono.
Bauer ahead of all the top draft picks.
Mike Montgomery at 22.
Peacock at 36, smh...
Olt at 43, what is this I don't even...
Jared Cosart ahead of James Paxton, Matt Harvey, AJ Cole, and Xander Boegarts? LOLOLOLOL
Michael Choice at 80. Wtf.
Leonys Martin ahead of Choice. GTFO _________________

I'd put Bauer ahead of all of them but Bundy. I love me some Bauer. And I completely agree on Choice. Dude is really getting no respect. He's top 50 for me quite easily.
And BA officially has a mancrush on Matt Szczur. I love the guy, but there is no way he should be in the 60's right now. _________________

Hrubes and I have been on the Bauer bandwagon. I don't really see anything wrong with the ranking. _________________

Can anyone explain this? I mean really. He's 23.5 years old and has never touched AA, and still strikes out at an ungodly rate for a guy his age at those levels. _________________

Actually, it doesn't suck at all. Because Garret Richards sucks. I know this, and you're in denial of this.
What do Garrett Richards and Michael Pineda have in common besides both being right handed? Nothing.
Richards has a good fastball, but zero control and crappy secondary pitches. He's a step up from Tyler Chatwood, I will give him that. While Chatwood doesn't belong in the majors, Richards could hand on as an innings eater 4.5 ERA guy. _________________

Holds true in certain situations, but at some point, performance matters, and Klaw and Goldstein both will agree to that.
There is a reason Goldstein ranked Greg Halman as a 5 star prospect when he was in high desert for a year, and then dropped him to a two star prospect the next when he struggled out of HD. He went off of production. _________________
