The Guardians have a plan and have effectively executed it over the past several years. They stress pitching and hitters who can make contact and control the strike zone.  The plan led to a 100-win season in the Major Leagues and plenty of young talent that could help in the next year or two.

The White Sox had a historically bad season in 2024, and while their minor league system has improved, it’s filled with many up-and-down and complementary players. In other words, they have a long way to go before they will be competitive. As with all systems, there are some potentially elite prospects.  If Noah Schultz can […]

I’ve been critical of the Cardinals organization for several years. I question many of their decisions, including those of Adolis Garcia, Randy Arozarena, Dylan Carlson, and Jordan Walker. I liked taking JJ Wetherholt with their first pick last July.  Granted, he was the best player on the board when it was their turn, but they […]

The pitching is starting to translate at the Major League level, as Paul Skenes and Jared Jones were terrific in 2024.  Next in line are Bubba Chandler and Braxton Ashcraft.  Both should see time in Pittsburgh in 2024. The bats have been the problem.  Nick Yorke and Billy Cook should help next season in a […]

I really like the Brewers system.  While the top of the system did not perform as well as I had hoped (I’m looking at you, Tyler Black), there’s still a ton of talent in Black, Jacob Misiorowski, and Jeferson Quero.  The excitement in the system stems from the crop of Latin signees – Yophery Rodriguez, […]

The Reds are absorbing their latest round of promotions, including Noelvi Marte, Edwin Encarnacion-Strand, Rhett Lowder, and Julian Aguiar.  I think it’s safe to say that Marte has been a disappointment.  First, the 80-game suspension, and then he didn’t hit when he returned.  Hopefully, Encarnacion-Strand returns healthy next season. Because of the promotion, the Reds […]

After an encouraging 2023 season, the Cubs missed the playoffs in 2024.  PCA and Jordan Wicks played significant roles in Chicago this season, and the good news is that there is plenty of talent in the upper levels of the minor leagues for 2025. Matt Shaw should take over third base next season, with Moises […]
