Power Pros Forum

So, a project of my own will be to make a lot of the draft picks that were drafted this season. I'm obviously going to be seeking rating suggestions.

1. SS Dansby Swanson (Diamondbacks) -
2. SS Alex Bregman (Astros) -
3. SS Brendan Rodgers (Rockies) -
4. SP Dillon Tate (Rangers) -
5. OF Kyle Tucker (Astros) -
6. SP Jay Tyler (Twins) -
7. OF Andrew Benintendi (Red Sox) -
8. SP Carson Fulmer (White Sox) -
9. OF Ian Happ (Cubs) -
10. SS Cornelius Randolph (Phillies) -
11. C Tyler Stephenson (Reds) -
12. 1B Josh Naylor (Marlins) -
13. OF Garrett Whitley (Rays) -
14. SP Kolby Allard (Braves) -
15. OF Trenton Clark (Brewers) -
16. SP James Kaprelian (Yankees) -
17. SP Brady Aiken (Indians) -
18. SP Phil Bickford (Giants) -
19. SS Kevin Newman (Pirates) -
20. SS Richie Martin (Athletics) -
21. SP Ashe Russell (Royals) -
22. SP Beau Burrows (Giants) -
23. OF Nick Plummer (Cardinals) -
24. SP Walker Buehler (Dodgers) -

Ratings both current and potential for all top round picks

Some of us aren't fortunate enough to have first round draft picks

Hey zero are you looking at current ratings or potential ratings?

I assume he's going off potential ratings. Rob, could you post your stats for the braves players you promised, Foltynewicz and Jace Peterson? Thanks. If you have others, post away!

Ok I'll give an example of Brendan Rodgers;
Currently if he were to play MLB today I would have him as;

TRJ; 1-2, Contact 3-4, Power; 48-63 range, Arm 10-11, run 10, fielding 4-5 abilities haven't thought that far


Potentially (take with a grain of salt as SS are quite hard to predict)

TRJ: 2-3, Contact 6-8,. Power 160 (if he develops the way is predicted), but I personally think around 135-140., Arm 12, Run 9-11 (if he fills out more i.e. puts on more muscle, might slow down), and fielding 10-12. But I'm thinking he may have to move off SS and move over to 3B as I am of the opinion his speed will slow.

josh naylor is a big bat like he hits dingers

confirmed

Fulmer's FB/CB combo is filthy, probably a 4/5 CB and a 4/5 SIFB, also throws a changeup that's got some potential

Happ I believe plays all over the diamond - second, third, and outfield iirc

Swanson started off as a 2B but has handled short quite nicely this season, not sure if you'd rather go 2B/SS or SS/2B there

And Aiken's a huge question mark, tough to project him because of recent TJ surgery and such...But he was topping out around 100 pre-injury and had a plus curveball, if I remember right

no like legit he hit a ball into the diamond we were playing at when he was playing for 18u ontario blue jays like hes so strong

Zero, this project is still on right?

None of these guys would have impact for next year, except maybe Fulmer. The white sox like to rush pitchers up. (Ex. Sale, Rodon)

Yeah you're right. The rest would have a impact in 2-3 years. I would like to see how Dillon Tate would be made.

If I went on current form....

Dillon Tate 99 85 100 Slider 2 CHG 1

(top speed, Control, Stamina, pitches) Have no idea with abilities as I have only seen limited footage of him.
