JD, : I have a rule, and you're going to see it proliferate across these rankings: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PITCHING PROSPECT I don't literally mean that pitching prospects don't exist but I do mean that for dynasty fantasy baseball purposes you can never rely on a pitching prospect to replicate their success like they did at the minor league level. Guys like Konnor Griffin and Kevin McGonigle will come to the big leagues and you can usually rely on them to provide some level of performance even if they don't hit the ground running. This means that their value is going to hold up for a long time while they get their feet under them. You'll still be able to find willing trade partners who believe in their breakout even if they spin their wheels for 100+ games. I don't find this to be the case with pitching prospects. People are quick to devalue them considerably as soon as you see any hiccup or injury or step back at the big league level. Two prime examples that come to mind are Forrest Whitley and Andrew Painter. Both of those guys were can't-miss pitching prospects that got caught up with injuries and lost all of their prospect shine even before they reached the big leagues (in Painter's case). Painter has gotten absolutely shelled at the big league level this year and I wasn't able to find any trade partners for him in my home league a month ago. My point being is that you should not commit all of your prospect capital to a pitcher regardless of how good he looks. Pitching, in my opinion, is for cheap upside plays that can get helium as they put together strong minor league performances. There's really only one way to go if they are top-pitching prospects and that's down. You are better off waiting for the post-type breakout with pitchers. Maybe you don't get a Paul Skenes with this method, but you can easily get a Tarik Skubal, Cristopher Sanchez-type asset without needing to invest in them in the minor leagues. What does all this mean for Seth Hernandez? He is exciting as hell and I can't wait to see him rocket through the minor leagues and get to the big league level to be a one-two punch with Skenes. He clearly has the best stuff in the minors right now and has separated himself from the rest of the pack. I have no shares of him and that is okay. For everyone who does have shares in him, I hope you get to enjoy him for many years at the big league level. That's just not a risk I'm willing to take.
