This seems reasonable. I'm guessing Sickle's next letter grades will show that he sees the same sort of dropoff.

 

I think Sickels is high on Diaz, so he'll probably stay on the tier I mentioned, and it is likely Mejia will graduate. I don't think he dings hitters (rightfully) as much for tommy john, and he is still young enough.

 

It's only a couple of spots, but I am surprised that Javier is as low as he is, he strikes me as the most likely to sneak into top 100 lists.

4:03 What are your thoughts on Nick Gordon after some time in the minors, compared to at draft time, etc? Should Twins fans be excited?

 

Keith Law
4:03 Yes. He's a damn good player. He'll produce, and he'll be one of those players you want to argue is worth even more than the stats say.

I'm down for taking Wright now as well. Greene is a super enticing gamble for me, but if guys like Gonsalves, Gordon, and others are likely to be ready next season, Wright would fit right in that time frame. If Berrios becomes our number 1 starter, a punch of him and Wright could be terrifyingly good.

I like Gordon a lot. I imagine he'll be in the top 30 or so on the next rankings. He's not in the Buxton/Sano tier but he's in the next tier Kepler-like tier. He/Polanco/Dozier give the Twins a solid trade chip if they can pull it off.
