BA Updated Top 100: Wetherholt Rises, Mathews falls off
I can’t see the whole list, but they had a FB post about top 100 risers and fallers.
JJ Wetherholt is ranked #14
Quinn Mathews is now not ranked in the top 100
Not sure where our other prospects are if at all on the top 100.

Wow, didnt know Mathews had dropped off so bad
Re: BA Updated Top 100: Wetherholt Rises, Mathews falls off
One interesting name is Mike Sirota, he rose to #46 on their top 100. Amazing how he went from I believe a preseason top 10 pick in 2024 to being drafted in the 3rd round, traded by the Reds to the Dodgers in the Gavin Lux deal and is now a top 50 prospect in basically a year’s time.
He’s hitting .335 with a 1.088 OPS this year between A and A+. 13 HR 51 RBI in 54 games and 46 BB-57 K.
Oh and he bats RH and plays OF. Wouldn’t that be nice?

I'll post this here...
Fangraphs Top 41 Cards prospects released today
https://blogs.fangraphs.com/st-louis-ca ... prospects/
Saggese and Davis have fallen way down.
And the word on Rodriguez prowess behind the plate is more encouraging than we were led to believe. It better be, he's pretty much been the starting Catcher at Palm Beach catching 3/4 of 5 games played each week.
Church is way down on their list. Baez, though, made his in season leap on their list.

Re: BA Updated Top 100: Wetherholt Rises, Mathews falls off
he was Top 10 in quite a few preseason mocks. The knock going into the season was Northeastern and their softer schedule. His summer league games were really good, and that propelled him into the bottom of the Top Tier. But his awful start to the season against good competition and bad competition alike plummeted his stock.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑02 Jul 2025 10:12 am One interesting name is Mike Sirota, he rose to #46 on their top 100.

Re: BA Updated Top 100: Wetherholt Rises, Mathews falls off
I'm still bullish on Padilla's Top 100 appearance at the end of the season. This draft may only produce 4-6 Top 100 prospects (that's really low for a draft, but this one is particularly weak). That will help his chances...along with his better bat as of late in the FCL as a young 17yo. Not to mention the speed, glove, and arm that dazzle the pundits.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑02 Jul 2025 10:32 am MLB pipeline’s updated top 100 Cardinals:

I like the Fangraphs comp to Ketel Marte for Padilla. Marte didn’t hit for power until he got to the MLB. He had 17 HR over 2289 minor league PAs.craviduce wrote: ↑02 Jul 2025 10:39 amI'm still bullish on Padilla's Top 100 appearance at the end of the season.

Re: BA Updated Top 100: Wetherholt Rises, Mathews falls off
Holliday, Anderson, Hernandez...and maybe Arnold are guaranteed Top 100? Maybe Willits, depending on the publication? I can name 5...that's rough for a draft.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑02 Jul 2025 10:49 amI like the Fangraphs comp to Ketel Marte for Padilla. Marte didn’t hit for power until he got to the MLB.

Yeah, I find that one to just be dumb. If all these guys are rated based on ceiling, there’s no planet that Roby should be below a guy like Hansen.craviduce wrote: ↑02 Jul 2025 10:44 amone other ranking that had mecraviduce wrote: ↑02 Jul 2025 10:25 am I'll post this here...
