      Every organization misses signings for various reasons. You're citing one case as evidence which is meaningless and this case still hasn't gotten out of low-A ball.

        When I say look what we missed out on I mean a guy in the first 5 Rounds.

        Most of the time these guys will be signed and we have had about 5 examples of guys that we didn't sign in the past 3 years

        Also ill take .326 16 3B and 62 SB at any level

          ^Did you look at his BB/K ratio? Good chance he fades well before Double-A.

            This would be my list

            1. Heaney
            2. Moran
            3. Nicolino
            4. Conley
            5. Wittgren
            6. Marisnick
            7. Flynn
            8. Desclafani
            9. Barnes
            10. Williams
            11. Keys
            12. Solorzano
            13. Angel Sanchez
            14. Romero
            15. Urena

            Honorable Mention to Realmuto, Hope, Cox, Dyson, Canha, and Brady.

            I don't see why BaseballAmerica has been so moderately high on Realmuto. He's a coverted catcher so his defense is outstanding, and he hasn't shown he could hit minor league pitching since A ball. I'm willing to let him work things out since he's still really young, but I'm not sure he has a real major league future. Also don't know why Conley is behind Descalfani. Conley's a lefty and a much better pitcher. I wouldn't be shocked if Conley's in the starting rotation by June.

              Can't believe you have Wittgren so high, he's just a reliever.

                Seriously though, Wittigren is way too high.

                  He's in front of Marisnick.

                    Wittgren will be a better reliever than Marisnick will be an outfielder.

                      Yeah, but YOU JUST SAID a starting position player is more valuable than a reliever.

                        Debatable. And almost no chance he'll be more valuable.

                          Realmuto was a 22 year old catcher in AA last year. Catchers develop much slower than every other position and are rarer too. He's a legitimate prospect still. He drops if he repeats his performance this year.

                            Well yeah, but Wittgren is going to be the best reliever of all-time so deal with it.

                              ^^ what he said.

                              But honestly, I really like Wittgren as a guy who could be the closer for the Marlins in 2015 and succeed in the role. Obviously we got to see what happens with him, but I watched video of him at Purdue and some of his minors videos and he's really impressive. His numbers back up what I liked watching him pitch.

                              In a legitimate rankings Wittgren likely ranks between 10-15 at the highest because he's a college reliever who hasn't pitched above A+ ball, but I'm obviously extremely high on him. The top 6 guys I listed are guys that I think are most likely to be successful major leaguers, and I think Wittgren belongs in that list over guys like JT Realmuto and Jose Urena.
