Reviewing Our Cleveland Guardians’ Prospect Draft: What We Got Right and Wrong
With the Guardians off on Monday, today’s episode looks back at our 2024 Cleveland Guardians prospect draft.
We take a look at some of our best and worst prospect picks, and look at some of the surprising names we didn’t even take, including Angel Genao, Cade Smith and Austin Peterson. We discuss how the farm system emerged much stronger in the second half and how there is more pitching depth now, but there is a big gap on where the strength of the Guardians pitching prospects currently sits and why most of the farm system strength is at the lower levels.

Thanks for the minor league rundown! Much appreciated since I frequently don't have time to do the research.
Mariners 95! Refuse to lose!
Sounds like you guys are missing on DeLucia.
I expect Petey Halpin to get moved up to Cbus where I expect his offensive numbers to rise.
Could see the same for Khalil
Oops, spoke too soon!
Surprised it took so long for Tugboat and Nikhazy
This draft next year will be crazy. There will be a TON of volatility for guys like Genao/Kayfus/Okie/Mobley/Tugboat etc. lot of guys who we hope will be bigtime but could easily disappoint and a lot of guys who broke out this year that could easily cool off.
The magic number for the Guardians to clinch a bye is one.
