I know that I made you wait a week, but that should mean you have your finest, most tightly honed questions of the year ready to fire at me. So let me have them!
I'd like your takes on the prospect re-rankings by MLB Pipeline and Baseball America. I was surprised by MLB Pipeline putting Black and Birdsong at 9 and 10 while placing Winn down at 16. Also, Baseball America putting Wisenhunt at 5 behind Eldridge and Martin was surprising. Thoughts?
I’m having trouble keeping the Carsons straight. (tbh, I’m having the same trouble with the Carters, but that’s another story). Carson Whisenhunt I can keep up with pretty well - drafted last year, best pitch is a changeup, made it up to AA. What are his other pitches, what does he most need to work on to be successful in the big leagues, and where would you guess he is assigned next April?
As for Messrs. Seymour and Ragsdale, what are their best pitches, are they still seen as starters, what does each still need to work on most, and (again) where might they start next season?
