Would not trade Acuna for anyone except Devers.

Other 9 look pretty good. I would slot Wilson in where Anderson is and move Anderson to the 120ish range. Would also move Soroka up about 35 spots.

Don't think Pache is a top 100 guy right now but he could absolute rocket up the lists if he develops 20-25 HR power like Law suggested yesterday.

Agree with all of that. I'd probably drop Allard into the 80-90 range, move Soroka into the 25-40 range and maybe move Wright down a smidge.

Outside the Top 100 I'm still pretty excited about the ceiling on Touki, A-Jackson, Wilson and Waters. Riley has been pretty good in AA as well, which is encouraging. Still not sure where he plays, though.

I agree with you on Soroka being way too low, but WTF on this man. I'd like to see Allard's K rate continue to rise like it has his last few starts, but not being top 50 for a pitcher with his scouting grades who is posting a 3.50ish FIP in AA at 20 years old is just crazy talk to me (that being said, if we are moving one of our top 5-6 pitching prospects in a deal for TOR guy, Allard would be my choice).

I love Allard, I've just read some reports from scouts that thing his ceiling may not be quite as high as some thought before.

I don't think he needs to be taken off the list or anything.
