who just seems like he’s going to be good at something in 11 years…hopefully, it’s on the diamond. I was a little shocked, however, to see that Luis Patino was the first pitcher taken, especially since there is another San Diego prospect just as young and considered by some to be the best pitching prospect in baseball: MacKenzie Gore. Mark McElroy saw the future and tapped into a new market: women.ĭonny Moskovits also zigged where everyone else zagged, picking a pitcher. On the other end Scott Chu is betting that Old Man Trout doesn’t age like mortals, which is a solid bet considering he doesn’t do anything else like mortals. I like the way Round 2 shaped up, starting with Mateo on the “young” end…I mean, we have no idea how old this kid is, just that he can bench press a camper. To each his own…although he was probably pretty angry when Bartolo Colon was snatched up a few picks later. Apparently we are going by body mass, which after picking Dominguez in the first and Cecil Fielder’s kid in the third round, is obviously a thing for Cherman. Round (Pick)ĭave Cherman shocked the world when he posted an Instagram link for his second pick, followed by “This kid…his last name says Mateo…somebody tell me how monstrously large he is.” Enough said (link below). He already has the best eye in this entire draft and he doesn’t rely at all on speed. I picked Soto second because he’ll still only be 31 in 11 years from now, and I feel like out of the list of major leaguers selected in the first round, his skills will last the longest. And of course, there is Jasson Dominguez, who I thought would go a little higher. We got our first teenage legacy who isn’t currently in the majors - or in high school. From there we go with Juan Soto, Ronald Acuna, Baby Vlad, little Tatis…and of course, Big Al - all players with top experience at the highest level. He’s basically the only guy who will be younger than 30 in 2030 who you can reasonably say will be a top player in that time (barring injury). I think everybody would have picked Wander Franco with the first pick. “The (Other) Martian” - Matt Damon Is the Original So we’ve got adults, teenagers, and even some preteens in the picks below along with some spot-on analysis that will only get stronger over the next decade. We got together 10 of our top predictors on staff to draft the best 30 fantasy players of the year for 2030. With that in mind, let’s look 11 years down the road. Speaking of which, what is the point of just looking forward to next year? Seems a little shortsighted if you ask me, maybe even a little irresponsible. It’s that time of the year again! The 2019 fantasy season is almost over and it’s time to start looking toward the future. That’s what I love about high school prospects…I get older and they stay the same age.
