Episode notes
Risky J-Rod
- Julio Rodríguez is a risky top-15 pick due to inconsistent hitting and a bad home park.
- He may develop into a superstar, but his current value doesn't reflect top-10 upside.
Carroll vs. J-Rod
- Corbin Carroll's downside is more valuable than J-Rod's due to stolen bases and a better park.
- Carroll's good power year could be similar to J-Rod's average year, but with more steals.
Merrill's Top-10 Upside
- Jackson Merrill has top-10 overall upside due to his impressive jump in power and contact skills.
- Merrill's low strikeout rate makes him a safe bet, and increased power could bring substantial value.
