JD on Eli Willits (Jun 22, 2026): I feel pretty silly being so low on him, but I'm also not willing to fully change my initial read on him. Guys can dominate the lower levels of the minors and see their skill set hit a wall at the upper levels despite I'm seeming like I can't miss prospect. I think I'll be the one to sit out the Eli Willits hype train but I can see myself being very wrong on it in a couple of years.
JD on Franklin Arias (Jul 3, 2026): Arias may need to be re-evaluated as he is killing it at AA right now. I just don’t love that he is undersized and worried he will have more of a contact focused approach at the big league level. Realistically he should probably be climbing closer to the top 20. I'll probably be re-evaluating over the next couple of weeks.
