    This post is as baseless as the rest of your posts. It really is embarrassing to be an Astros fan because of opinions like this.

    Good lord you're a douchebag.

    It would not be shocking at all to see Martes atop of our prospect list going into next year if he continues to dominate.

    See Nook's "baseless" post to see why.

    One of you cant even read and the other I just scroll past your posts because they are just a retweet for those too lazy and stupid to find out info themselves.

    Fangraphs has been talking about Martes in the 50 range trending up. Idk if yall saw the chat but McDonald I believe said he's heard scouts equate him to Dillion Tate. Given his trajectory and age it's plausible top 20 I think.

    He said that his slider has gone from fringey to easy plus, jumped in fb velocity, working on a change, and has stats to back everything up all while being 19. Dude has serious potential whatever his ranking is.

    I apologize for not spelling things out for you.

    If Martes were on top of our prospect ranking, gee, where do you think that would put him overall?

    I don't know, maybe around the top 20?

    Genius.

    Why hasn't everyone just put him on their ignore list?

    Also Appel.....sigh. I wish he was consistent.

    I think youd be a good fit for the Chinese government. DuCY

    And no, even if he was our top prospect he wouldnt be close to top 20

    By MLB rankings, our current top prospect is #25.

    Does that count as being close to 20, college grad?

    Because its not like hes in the 50s range everywhere else right. But use the 1 ranking to try and prove your horrendous point.

    You seem rattled, sure if Bregman ends the season as a top 30 guy and if Martes passes him, Tucker, Appel, Daz etc. Then according to 1 prospect ranking he is close to top 20. But pretty much anyone with a brain knows the mlb.com rankings are the worst rankings out there, so if thats what you want to go with, then sure. Martes may be a top 20ish prospect?

    I mean if the astros go undefeated the rest of the year theyd be the best team ever. If I could jump 50 inches id be in the nba. Martes finishes in the 50-75 range on most lists and id be happy to bet money on this also.

    You lack intelligence.

    First I said he could be top 20 next year. I didn't say anything about this off season. Further Keith Law has discussed on ESPN that Martes is a guy scouts think can break top 50 and even top 20 lists with a strong finish and good start next year.

    You must have been dropped on your head. You argue over the most bizarre stuff. We get it, you think Gomez > Marisnick as a fielder and that Martes won't be a top 20 prospect... As for "betting"... Get a life loser. You periodically post some worthless comment or insult and then get angry when you are treated like a prick. Learn some tact and actually contribute as opposed to having 75% of the board block you. As for me, I am not wasting any more time on you because it is a terrible waste of my time and I don't really value your opinion or lack of knowledge...
