I get a lot of information from our prospect team.
And I've actually watched a lot of Kate Anderson because I just enjoy watching him pitch.
But Jesus Madre, I'm working off reports and some visual looks and talking to people.
But...
I think that the pitch there was like, hey, prospects that we think are about this good are just like more valuable than the guys below this point on the list.
And additionally, teams value them more than that.
So actually what I did when I was making the list is I had kind of a mark that was like, hey, I'm going to talk to the prospect guys and see who they think is like a 65 future value on our systems.
And I'm going to put those guys in there.
um that's about where they go like if they're this good and that was for me i had like
I don't remember the exact number at the time, but like 35 to 40 players who were, I thought, clear of that bar.
And I was like, well, these guys have to be in the top 50 then because I don't see 50 guys more valuable than that.
And for me, Anderson was like, I think he was always going to be in there.
Honestly, I had him on.
I had my eyes on him before we before I've talked to the prospect team.
He just like he checks all the boxes I like for pitching.
uh i was kind of surprised that he's the athletics number one overall prospect i don't know if i'd go that far but hey i like it um i was talking to our prospect team and i was like i really want to have kate anderson first and they were like oh great like we we have him as our best pitcher and i was like oh thank goodness it's gonna be it was gonna be super awkward if we disagreed and then i just said hey who's the best hitter and they said i think it's made by a little bit over franklin aria so we have a half great lower
I mean, I think that it's kind of life as a big market team.
They've transitioned to basically like paying guys market rates in a lot of cases to keep the window going as Vlad has gotten older and they built a team around him.
You know, lots of teams would love to trade for Dylan Cease.
Lots of teams would love to trade for Alejandro Kirk, trade Savage.
