It gives me a little hope for Green. We just have to recognize the kid is a project, but the Eric Davis tools comp on the power / speed / arm is enough to be patient. He will always struggle with Ks, but if he get his K rate into the 25%-30% range, that could be survivable in a Joey Gallo sort of way.
I'm surprised to see Vaquero so low. Would have thought he'd be #4 / #5 (ahead of Morales and Rutledge), depending on what folks think of Cavalli. OTOH, if we have a #2 and #5 starter on that list, then I am super pleased.
Thinking about that list, I'd say the things to watch on the prospects might be, in order:
1) How well does Cavalli pitch after his injury? A #2 starter makes the whole staff look a lot better.
2) Wood. I feel better about Crews and I think we know what we have in House and Morales, but Wood making more contact will be a key as to whether we have an elite guy (zero to two being the range) for the OF. The power will be there.
3) How many of the top 6 are in the majors in 2024? That tells us about the timeline.
Beyond that, there's always hope or expectation for contributions from Nunez, Young, Millas/Pineda, Herz, perhaps Parker, and I'm guessing Lipscomb is on that list too.
