• Big Hype Prospects: Cowser, Bleday, Alvarez, Outman, Steer
Pitchers and catchers report in 10 days, at which point we’ll have more to discuss in virtually every facet of the sport. Until then, let’s review more prospects tangentially connected to the news.

• Big Hype Prospects: Baty, Colas, Waters, Grissom, Hernaiz
Late January is a sluggish period in the baseball transactions calendar. As has occurred in other slow weeks this offseason, we’ll be generous with our definitions of “Big Hype” and “Prospects” in order to cover interesting players recently in the news. Five BHPs In The News Brett Baty, 23, 3B, Mets (MLB) (AA/AAA) 420 PA,…...2023

• Big Hype Prospects: Miller, Nunez, Thomas, Ramos, Duran
Building on last week’s column, we’ll continue evaluating possible Rule 5 draft targets. By nature, these are not truly “big hype prospects.” After all, Rule 5 picks rarely go on to have notable Major League careers. We’ll have a few leftovers to discuss next week. Five Big Hype Prospects Erik Miller, 24, RP, PHI (AAA)…...2022
• Big Hype Prospects: Ward, Vodnik, Lavigne, Murray, Sikkema
It’s time to shift our attention to the frozen wasteland of the offseason. With luck, the baseball gods will provide us with an amply warm stove to survive this bleak period without baseball. Already, we’ve seen a number of interesting, tinkering-on-the-margins trades. Teams are also preparing for the Rule 5 draft, set to take place…...2022
• Big Hype Prospects: Alvarez, Baty, Crow-Armstrong, Langeliers, Bello
Julio Rodriguez is on the verge of a massive contract extension. Who will be the next prospect to ink a mega-deal? Today’s Big Hype Prospects won’t answer that question, but it’s possible we’ll discuss them all the same. Five Big Hype Prospects Francisco Alvarez, 20, C, NYM (AAA) 141 PA, 6 HR, .180/.340/.378 Despite the…...2022

Big Hype Prospects continues with a look at the early results from the Arizona Fall League. This is, historically, a hitter-centric league so it will come as no surprise that the best early performers are mostly position players. Five Big Hype Prospects Zac Veen, 20, OF, COL (AA) AFL: 31 PA, 1 HR, 7 SB,…...2022

• Big Hype Prospects: Lowe, Kwan, Kirby, Moreno, Baz
This week, we check in two players making their debut, another on the cusp of return, and two others who have mixed results.

Big Hype Prospects returns in time for a big Twins-themed update. Let’s eschew the ado. Five Big Hype Prospects Royce Lewis, 22, SS, MIN (AAA) 107 PA, 3 HR, 8 SB, .310/.430/.563 A former first overall prospect who flirted with the “bust” label for a few moments, Lewis chewed through Triple-A and should have a…...2022

For this week’s post, let’s look at some prospects who might be affected by recent rumors….

The Hot Stove has been turned off. Big Hype Prospects (and baseball at large) enters the coldest month. Still, we have much to discuss. Five BHPs In The News Royce Lewis, 23, SS, MIN (MLB) 41 PA, 2 HR, .300/.317/.550 A former first-overall pick, Lewis showed signs of breakout in 2020 but wasn’t able to…...2023

The international signing market is well underway. We can think of these mostly 16-year-old boys as transplanted seeds. Some of them will grow big and strong over the next half-decade. Others will sprout then later wither during a drought or cold spell. Many won’t take to the new soil in which they’re planted. Perhaps the…...2023

My Rule 5 coverage didn’t go to plan. While I successfully tabbed first overall pick Thad Ward, he was the only Rule 5 eligible player chosen of the 25 we evaluated. Ryan Noda was left off due to his age. All the others chosen were not on my radar. With the Winter Meetings behind us,…...2022
