    That doesn’t seem terrible. He’s playing in the tricked up launching pad though, right?

    Yes, but his wRC+ which I believe adjusts for league/park is 122 for the season. He’s legitimately having a good season. But like any advanced college player he needs to be in AA before we can really start getting any idea of what kind big league player he will be.

    I really like this guy and think he's going to be a part of a trade deadline deal. At least if I was a GM he would be included in any deal I would do.

    If the Astros really like Ethan Pecko, he will be part of no deal. The Astros keep the prospects that they really like.

    We have a lot of pitchers I would trade before I would trade Pecko. On the other hand I would be asking for Pecko first.

    And how many pitchers would another team accept rather than just moving on to another of the 20 teams who need trade deadline reinforcements?

    Most drafts net me from 3 to 5 new names on my most valuable prospects list.
    The names I am kicking around for this draft so far include---

    Xavier Neyens*, #1 pick.
    Gabel Pentecost, best pitcher we picked up.
    Jase Mitchell* versatile catcher
    Elijah Farley* Texas HS outfielder
    Landon Arroyos Elite SS

    Who am I missing and who am I too enthusiastic on?
    Who you got?

    With regard to Pecko I do not care. he is too valuable to trade for a few months of anybody.

    Like I said, I love Pecko, but if trading him meant getting a premium bat I would do the WS. Pecko isn't a Tucker, Bregs level prospect. IMHO.
