Guardians fans tend to hold some resentment toward FanGraphs' projections systems. And, honestly, IF the Guardians can again beat their projected record from FanGraphs this year, maybe there will be enough sample size to cause some recalibration there. But with seven Guardians players making the FanGraphs Top 100 prospects list yesterday, Guardians fans can feel mollified by the leading baseball, public analytics site today.
Eric Longenhagen ranked Angel Genao 35th, Travis Bazzana 36th, Cooper Ingle 53rd, Chase DeLauter 55th, Parker Messick 67th, Juan Brito 78th and Welbyn Francisca 88th. Personally, I don’t get worked up about projections or prospect rankings - I celebrate the stuff that makes me feel optimistic, process the legitimate reasons to be skeptical and flush the rest.
