Lower half minors being pretty bare on waivers, I'd have been excited just to get a body down there. There's nothing in that age-range.

McManus looks pretty good to me. Very Good Hitter with Prolific Slugger is a good combo, defense is admittedly fringy but with that potential bat who cares? At 14 POT with low defense his bad will be god tier.

It can be, but its far from a guarantee. Many prolific sluggers aren't very prolific. The sample is still small, but I get Bresciani vibes.

but with that potential bat who cares?

Can't bank on the potential. If he drops to 13 you could be looking at a 14-13-13-16 RHB 1B that hits more groundballs than flyballs.

He's a bit risky, but at 18, you'd have a nice, long look before you had to bank on him in any real way.

The top-heaviness of minors right now probably boosts his value a bit above pure numbers. Putting a team on the field of guys his age might be tough when he's 25. I have three positions players in that age range and one just promoted to AA.

I agree with all that.

But that's the kind of stuff you'd say about a 5 claim guy, not a guy that is a "steal at 54". :)

Congrats to Athens winning the Hodges. I have to assume that team is flat broke for the AI to cut a guy like that...
