Coming into the 2023 draft, things seem... better?
I've got a two guys who are tearing it up in their first taste of major league action (Patrick Bailey and Andrew Abbott), meaning the folliwing players are in the big leagues:
- Patrick Bailey
- Chris Okey (demoted at the time of this writing, but still an OK backup catcher)
- Mike Massey (injured, but still 200 PAs)
- Nick Allen (good/great defense, still can't hit)
- Andre Pallante (average reliever right now)
- Keegan Thompson (average reliever right now)
- Anthony Kay (average reliever right now)
- James Karinchak (dominanat when he knows where it's going)
- Tarik Skubal (inuured)
- Dakota Hudson (injured)
Looking at that, and still wonderign what could have been with Keston Hiura, I feel all right about the players we've pushed to the majors (though I'd argue we could use a better training staff given the injuries).
Here's what's left in the minors (with Fangraphs future values in parenthesis)
- Catcher
- Logan Driscoll (NA)
- Connor Charpring (NA)
- 1b
- Kyle McCann (NA)
- Justin Yurchak (NA)
- 2b

- Anthony Prato (NA)
- 3b
- Peyton Graham (40+)
- Tucker Toman (40+)
- Nick Northcut

- Carter Young (40)
- RF
- Kobie Taylor (NA)
- CF
- Justin Crawford (45+)
- Tyler Mcdonough (35+)
- Quinton Holmes (NA)
- Braden Ward (NA)
- LF
- Nathan Church
- Ryan Ward (35+)
- Connor Kokx (NA)
- Ronnie Dawson (NA)
- SP
- Andrew Abbott(50)
- Bryce Hubbart (35+)
- Luis Ramirez (NA)

It seems like Logan Gray is the guy who's washed out.
It's improving... pretty soon, I'll have my 2023 draft board ready to go.
