Okert had a rough season last year which makes 2016 a pivotal year for him. The fact that he was so good in 2014 and so bad last year is making it tough to rank him.<br /><br />3. Crick vs Stratton is a classic example of proximity vs ceiling. Crick has a high ceiling, but his bust potential is about as high as it gets right now.<br /><br />4. Fielding percentage, especially in the minors, is a terrible stat. I could be wrong, but I believe all the 3B prospects project to field much better than Duvall.<br /><br />5. Not sure why you would be surprised to see Mac that high. He has the trifecta of close proximity, high ceiling and strong performance on the field.DrBGiantsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699322384438591979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-67540465812568389102015-12-21T19:07:23.323-08:002015-12-21T19:07:23.323-08:00Thanks, Covechatter.

I know he struggled last year, but the year before he was all the talk as the future Affeldt replacement/star LH reliever and was in some Top-10s at the beginning of 2015. Baseball Prospectus had him at 7 (just above Strickland at 8) and well ahead of Osich who as in the low teens if I remember right. I know MLB ranked him high, too.<br /><br />3. I'd probably put Crick ahead of Stratton. But that's only because I think he has a greater chance of turning into a 'high value' reliever.<br /><br />4. I think all of our 3B prospects field worse than Adam Duvall (in fielding percentage). But I guess the Top-50 needs filling out. But if you need to drop someone to put Okert in, I would suggest that's a good group to cull from.<br /><br />5. Almost surprised to see Williamson that high up there. But, like Parker, he's another guy who can knock the cover off the ball. His K-rate is also lower and he's a surprisingly good fielder with a nice turn of speed for a big man.<br /><br />MosesZDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12702323080585738748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-51730682466143327732015-12-21T13:58:17.875-08:002015-12-21T13:58:17.875-08:001.

You are a little higher on Fox than I am (I'm getting the feeling I'm a little low on him at the moment), but it's pretty amazing to see how many similar names we have in our top 50... Even down to the individual slot. Looking at this group, it is great to see so many players that were added to the organization over the last year. Losing out on Eddie Julio Martinez smarts some, but overall I thought the Giants really boosted their system between the draft and IFA this season. <br /><br />Note: I wouldn't be shocked to see Okert ascend to the Majors this year like Osich did last season. He was shaky for parts of 2015, but he's a guy the Giants definitely have their eyes on. He's worth a top 30 spot in my humble opinion.<br /><br />Cove ChatterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-28429392999807218682015-12-21T12:10:28.600-08:002015-12-21T12:10:28.600-08:00Apparently Osich is still considered a rookie...

Your list (including ...Wow, what an effort! Thanks.<br />Your list (including HM's) includes 19 players from the 2015 draft, 9 in your top 50, 4 in the top 20. Was this an exceptional draft? <br />Heath Slatton, another guy from the 2015 draft, pitched very well in rookie league and for Salem as their best CLOSER, picked in the 18th round. <br />Another guy from that draft, pick 14, catcher Matt Winn moved up from rookie ball to Augusta and caught 20 games.<br />The highest pick in 2015 (9) who didn't have a good debut is David Graybill.
