Description

Jack and Aram answer questions submitted on Twitter about MLB's future stars.


How much does Floor vs. Ceiling matter when ranking prospects? (@kazeemthedream6)

Who is the best all around catcher between Moreno, Cartaya, Alvarez and will any of them eventually move to first or DH given their hitting ability? (@Call_Up_Bleday)

Has MacKenzie Gore proven he is back from the yips with this solid Spring Training, and deserving/ready to potentially be the fifth man in the Padres rotation or do you need to see more? How much do you think Ruben Niebla played a factor in his bounce back spring? (@JoshuaDLandis)

What do you think George Kirby’s ceiling is? And with the Mariners' big three starters (Gilbert, Kirby, Hancock) how high do you feel on them as a unit? (@OGGhost)

What player comparisons do you believe are the floors and ceilings for Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene? (@MizeUpNext)

What’s Nolan Gorman’s ceiling? (@Matt2Frosty)

Reds prospect Elly De La Cruz- when do you expect him to make big league team, and any comparisons to current MLB players? (@Ethanfulkerson1)

Do you think it’s worth it for the Padres to attach one of their top-tier prospects (Abrams, Hassell, Campusano, Gore) in order to deal Hosmer? Or do they just need to hang tight? (@Javiipeno)

What do y'all think the ceiling is for hunter greene and dauri moreta? Also do you think lopez will get a legit chance for the reds? (@transcincyfan)

The Yankees have a ton of prospects on the way up. And at the major league level, they have a lot of stop gaps on the roster. What prospects, if any this season can make a big impact on the Yankees’ major league roster? (@PinstripePals)

what to make of prospects that are a few years removed from top 100 lists, but have yet to really take off at the major league level? Seems guys like Jo Adell, Taylor Trammell, etc, are forgotten if they don't make immediate impacts. (@ChewingCast)

I'd like to hear about some prospects you guys have been super high on that missed. You all seem to have a very good track record, I'd be interested to know of any you may have liked that didn't pan out. (@OfficiallyJace)
