KLaw does love making bold predictions one way or the other. He put Karns in his top 100 last year based on a #2 starter projection (ambitious) and claimed that Tommy Milone wasn't a major league pitcher long after he actually BECAME a major league pitcher. Meanwhile, odds are against Nathan Karns ever having the career Tommy Milone will have.
In the same way, no matter how much you love Pedro Severino, I don't see how you can put him above Steven Souza unless you're just stirring the pot. Souza may have been old for AA last year, but has shown his bat for two straight years and has the athletic projection to be a MLB OF. He beats Severino in "risk" - I don't care what you say, there are lots of catchers whose defense is major league ready but can't put up better than Espinosa 2013 numbers and never stick. And I don't see how he doesn't beat Severino in "ceiling" either, considering his ceiling is pretty high and Severino's seems to be "good defensive C who hits JUSSSST enough to start".
So what exactly are we grading on here?
Similarly with Jefry Rodriguez over Jake Johansen. That's just a "look at me" ranking.
