Just read an interesting note on Southisene:

Since 2015, he has the 5th-most home runs in a season for a teenage Braves prospect in full season ball. Out of 51 people. He’s played 33 games and he’s already tied for fifth in home runs. His OBP, isolated power, slugging, OPS, and wRC+ are leaps above anyone else on this list.

Shouldn't Hartman be here too since he is still 19?

I know the cheating, but that was a hell of a 11-year run by Houston.
10 straight non-COVID winning seasons
7 division titles
7 straight LCS appearances
4 pennants
2 World Series
Gave the Yankees fans nightmares

Waldrep has already been throwing and he's projected to start making rehab starts some time in the next 3-4 weeks. We could see him in Atlanta before the ASB if all goes well. AJSS has been throwing since early April. They will probably drag his recovery out a little slower, but last I read is the timeline was late June/July for rehab appearances.

...and was preceded by a run of extreme tanking that they took a lot of heat for/people said wouldn't work. They were kind of the original tankers.

I remember being on a business trip in Houston in probably 2012 or 2013. Having lunch with a client. ESPN was on the TV talking about the Astros, and one of the people at the table goes "They say that the Astros might be good in, like, 2016 or 2017. They probably won't be, and even if they are, who the **** wants to wait that long?"

Coming into today, Eric Hartman had the 4th highest OPS in the entirety of Minor League baseball, among those qualified.

Which is why what Alex is trying to do is even more intresting.
Trying to be consistently good, and re tool every season. It will be intresting to look back in 10 years and see how all of this works out.

Caminiti, Southisene, Hartman and Gil could all be our #1 with Waldrep, Fuentes and Ritchie no longer factored.

Crazy. And we have two first round picks!

It's easy for Gil to get lost in Rome with all the talent there. He probably should be No. 1 given the pre-season hype, age, ceiling, proximity to majors, etc.

But I think Hartman is making it impossible for evaluators to ignore. The production, power potential, EVs, defense, and speed are all just extremely impressive and rare for a CFer.

It for sure won't be Caminiti unless he rolls off some impressive starts in a row. I'm not really "down" on Cam. But to keep your top prospect spot, you've got to maintain or improve on what you've already done, and he's not doing that right now.
