JD on Edward Florentino (Jul 14, 2026): I wouldn't call A+ a struggle for Florentino this year, but he definitely has not taken the step that we would have expected at this level. Florentino is universally acclaimed as a top 30 prospect so his value is pretty high across the board. I just wonder if he may be getting more praise than he ultimately has earned at this level. He's got a beautiful swing out, one of those tool sets that you can dream on but this kind of feels like it could be Gregory Polanco 2.0. Tread lightly.
JD on Grady Emerson (Aug 25, 2026): I've seen a lot of people rank Grady as the number one prospect coming out of this draft and I think it's a relatively fair take, especially given the Rays track record. He still hasn't gotten his first hit yet, going 0-10 with 4 walks in 14 plate appearances, but that's largely meaningless with such a tiny sample size. I'm not willing to pay the price of him being the most valuable first-year player coming out of the 2026 draft, but he still looks like a top 5 guy in this class for the time being.
