Realmuto – This is the first time I can remember, while only remembering back, like, two or three years, that a guy was ranked 1st and came in … I’d just assume the front office continues to lock up their young core over adding FA’s with Lucas Giolito, Nick Madrigal and Vaughn as the 3 players they ought to consider extending this winter.

Hopefully the Yankees can find some team who wants Sanchez. Preseason Rank #7, 2020 Projections: 21/7/25/.272/2 in 173 ABs, Final Numbers: 22/7/23/.283/4 in 173 ABs, 6.

I think he’ll be the first young guy the Dodgers try to extend. He’s made so many plays that Ramos wouldn’t make. They also parted with Vince Velasquez, Ramón Laureano and J.D. Well, getting back to the original point, Gene Tennace, Thurman Munson, Yogi, Elston, Ivan Rodriguez ,… then you can even drop down a couple tiers: Tony Pena, John Stearns, Lance Parrish, Todd Hundley, Ron Hassey; these are just off the top of my head, almost all from my lifetime of 48 years, not all Jt’s level, but very good… the true outlier, if anything, is the extreme lack of catching talent in this era. *insert musical note* Hello, darkness, my old friend.

Most teams viewed Lee as more of a third-round talent, but the Astros loved his raw power and arm strength and paid him $1.75 million as the 32nd overall choice.

Not a fan of the shortened season.

Rotation, CF, 3B all need to be addressed along with C. Maybe a trade?

Will Smith – At some point in the middle of The Pursuit of Happyness, maybe the 60-minute mark, Will “Jiggy” Smith’s career stopped being good.

What is wrong with thinking Freeman deserves a hard look? Urquidy shot up this list like a rocket … You’d better be really sure you’ve got a win-now team if you’re giving huge money to a 30 year old catcher, and the Mets have made a lot of mistakes based on the misguided belief that they’re a win-now team.

Like mustard and ketchup are both good, but you put them together and what is this crap? The Grapefruit League opens the next day with eight games.

It’s not a ranking for next year. It’s something-something, me again. And a good teammate. He is Arb eligible FA in 2023. “I told you I’d be back.” That’s a rather cuckoldish-sounding d’Arnaud.

Oh man. And I think it’s unfair to call Porter definitively better than Realmuto at least at peak levels. I didn’t call Porter schlubby. Yea, Smith will likely be known as the best catcher in baseball sooner rather than later. Rad jeep, brah. Looking at the catching situation across baseball makes me elated to be a Dodgers fan.
