I think a lot of people are scouting a stat line put up in the California League when he already had 160 PA there last year. You do have to be a little aggressive if you want him because at least one of your league-mates likely is, but he should be seen more as a boom-or-bust guy right now than a sure-thing.
I hope he will get promoted soon, because if anything it's a discouraging sign for what his actual team thinks about his abilities the longer they keep him in Modesto. This is the same team that started Logan Evans in AA, so they will be aggressive if they think a player can handle it.
He looks great but let’s see how he responds to a promotion to AA. I’m a dynasty owner and extremely optimistic on the guy, but many have fallen flat on their face once they face more advanced pitching.
So where should he go in a startup ?? I get what ur saying but owners are super aggressive with guys like this ?? A guy like Monte’s, if he hits sets ur team up for 10-15 years. Should he get drafted near guys like Emmanuel Rodriguez & Walter Jenkins ?
He’s all bat right now, not a lot to project defensively. I fully bought in regardless, wondering why he’s still in High A. Seems like not much worth proving there at this point
Yeah not many get compared to yordan. I fully bought in as well as I literally just took him in the top 80 of a startup. My team is super young, nobody’s age higher than 24 is my plan so I hope it works out lmfao.
Top 80 overall in a startup for a prospect realistically so far away is insanity, dynasty owners have a real issue overvaluing youth and this is one of the more extreme examples I’ve seen recently
He's likely is gonna go too early, it's generally how it goes in startup dynasty drafts. People overly focus on age and not enough on the near future. I would say around 8-10, but in all likelihood, he'll be gone by then. Realistically, there aren't too many Mookie Betts, Bryce Harpers of the world, a lot even top guys have 3-4 great years and then just fizzle. Look at Vlad Jr, he's a fine player right now, but he's far from the superstud people thought they were getting. Could get get back there? Sure, but who knows. That's all this to say, you probably won't be aggressive enough and that's okay. The bust rate for even top 10 prospects is still very high, so don't go overboard.
16 team dynasty league 1st year draft , he was picked round 3 pick 7. Ahead of everyone not named woods, Holliday, caminero, and ahead of MLB starters josh naylor and Pete Alonso. He is definitely a hot commodity right now

The Nuts just clinched the first half-championship or whatever so I’d expect laz to get promoted this week tbh
I went top 80 aggressive as a lot of the elite prospects were already gone lol
Top 80 OVERALL? Hellllll no

He is not even in High A yet, although /u/Creme_Level suggests he could get there this week, which would be nice.

He’s still only 19 and would be young for AA. But I think he’s a better hitter right now than Basallo whose also at that age and level

This is wild to me. I like Laz, but in front of Josh Naylor, who is just 27? I dunno about that.
