top 200 list: W. Miley is listed twice. M. Strahm should be #95 on the list.
2. I swapped the ages for Luis Garcia, the pitchers. Luis Garcia, Houston is 27. Luis Garcia, San Diego is 37.
3. I left some rookies off the rookie list. Insert these on the rookie list in the draft guide.
141.5 Ji Hwan Bae, 24, LHB, 2b/cf, Pirates - He didn’t hit much but he manged to steal 24 bases in 33 attempts. He stole 11 bases in April and almost stopped stealing in the second half, stealing just 4 in 7 attempts to finish out his season. It’s interesting that he batted .178 while hitting in the lead off spot and .299, with a .354 OBP, while batting 8th. He also batted .297 in the clutch, hence, the plus 10 clutch rating in Strat. He’ll battle for the 2b job with the Pirates.
114.5 Robert Garcia, 28, LHP, rp, Nats - He’s got a good relief card with limited innings. He K’d 33 in 32 innings. He didn’t give a home run in September after allowing 3 in August. At AAA in 2023, he K’d 62 in 41 innings and it was he second successful season at AAA. He spent very little time at the AA level. He’ll be back in the Nats bullpen in 2024.
120.5 Curtis Mead should be moved up on the draft list. I ranked him low at 163 because of his defense. It looks like the Rays may deal Harold Ramirez to make a spot for Mead to be their full time DH.
