Sorry, should have it up shortly here. Part 1 didn't upload correctly. Also part 2 begins with part 1 up to about 2 minutes 30 seconds, then picks up where we left off in part 1. It's not a duplicate file, just starts out that way.

Podcast is up and good at the usual site...

I'm not sure where to find Dan's rankings, but I assure you that they exist. Maybe we can get a link up here...

I am going to open myself up to exploitation, but here is my Top 50 Phillies' prospects philliesminorthoughts.com/2016-top-50-phillies-prospects-1-10/. It has not worked hugely well in this league (though I did get Maikel Franco at one point before he broke out) but I stick to Phillies prospects because I know them really well because I watch them probably more than anyone out there and feel like I can gauge their value. I will admit that Jose Pujols is on my roster as a stand because I believe in him as a prospect in real life and he is my one truly homer pick on the team and should at least follow my own advice. Also my farm is going to be really bad in a year, hopefully it is because everyone graduated.

Pronunciations:
Kilome: Kil-oh-may
Tocci: Toe-chee

Other thoughts based on the podcast:
- Thompson is a #3 and I think the Ks are going to be fine but not great, but he could be a 200IP arm which in this league is good
- Appel looks good so far, but he is a #3/#4
- Knapp is probably not a catcher, good luck with the bat at a corner
- Hoskins could be nice, but R/R first basemen are scary
- A lot of people came away very impressed with Jorge Alfaro this spring which is of course why his oblique got hurt in the first week
- Keep an eye on Zach Eflin, he changed his arsenal and is missing more bats
- I like Scott Kingery a lot, not going to give you power but if you want AVG, R, and SB he is a fine fantasy 2B
- I legitimately believe that J.P. Crawford will hit 15+ home runs a year at his prime, dude has crazy feel for the strikezone. He is not going to steal many bases which makes me less happy.


I think I tend to lean towards playing time over upside at MI which is why I am really high on Crawford and Arcia. If you can plug a guy in at MI for the next 5 years and get even average production you have a lot of flexibility with your roster.

I will answer Phillies prospect questions open and honestly if you have them (plus you can fact check me anyway)
