80 future game power for Walker.
He just needs to get the ball off the ground.

I’m also not super excited about Winn. The bat needs to come a loooong way. His arm is incredible, but he’s average defensively overall.

They’re both looking like fringe starters to long relievers.
Cards have a ton of relievers and corners. Need up-the-middle talent and bat missers in the rotation.
Hopefully a consolidation trade will net them an arm that is controlled past this year.

Who would you part with in that kind of trade?

Re: Fangraphs' List of Cardinals' Top 32 Prospects
I always take these list with grain of salt, because nobody knows. I always look as Spencer Strider as a recent example.
Fangraphs had Strider as a 45+ FV prospect coming into 2022
Baseballprospectus in 2022 said Strider would be a bullpen arm because they said he had no secondary offerings
in 2022 Keith Law had Strider as the Braves 12th best prospect, and if he developed a secondary pitch and changed his arm slot he could POTENTIALLY be a league average starter
People writing these list do their best to project, but it's really really difficult to know. So never get too caught up in it.

Picking out outliers to form your viewpoint is probably not the best strategy.Magneto2.0 wrote: ↑May 28 23, 8:25 amI always take these list with grain of salt, because nobody knows. I always look as Spencer Strider as a recent example.

No one knows the future with 100% certainty. Of course.
The case with Strider is he turned into a completely different player. Banking on that will be difficult.
The only thing you can do is evaluate in the here and now, use data to identify players who might be that tweak away from transforming, then hoping for positive variance.
