I never spent any time worrying about Mondesi because his glove and speed automatically make him above replacement. Hes a 1-2 WAR guy floor. His bat is always gravy. Yes a great defensive SS (something I wanted to evaluate Witt on this spring but he didnt play there? That said he’s the 10-yr solution at SS - Ripken style - the day he arrives here) Singer and Dozier are the stars this year. 83-79. I’m pounding Vegas by 10 full. |

The hype around Bobby Witt Jr. is just totally insane to me. It reminds me of everything we were hearing about Mahomes before he became a starter. I have never been this excited about a Royals prospect. Back when we had the best farm system in the league and all kinds of highly regarded prospects, guys that absolutely lit up the minors too, I never thought any of them would turn into the type of star I think BWJ is gonna be. I just have this feeling that he is gonna be in a league with Tatis and Soto.

He's got all the tools Mondesi did but the makeup, the adjustments, etc. set him so far apart. |

Imagine him hitting full potential and Mondesi doing what he did at the end of last season for the whole season.

I think that worked out pretty well for Cleveland, even though they wasted it. |

Gordon was BB America minor league POY and the 2007 #2 overall prospect to Dice-K. |

Yeah, I was working at SN then and he was our National minor league player of the year. But even then, the buzz was not the same. He didn’t have “best player in baseball” skills. |
