"With a big winter storm blanketing much of the continental United States over this past weekend, we're at a bit of a lull, at least until all the social media truck day posts begin their trickle-turned-deluge in short order. That same storm continues to have "does my house have power" implications for folks around the country, and that's why I'm doing News and Links this morning (well, actually, last night). Hello."
"That list featured Cam Caminiti and JR Ritchie, both of whom have appeared on other publication lists, but also gave some love to Didier Fuentes. I have no real skin in the prospect ranking game, but I have thought it interesting in retrospect that Eric Longenhagen at FanGraphs was generally higher on Fuentes than other publications, and that's continued to bear itself out as Fuentes hasn't appeared on these various offseason Top 100 lists, but Caminiti has."
"The Mariners DFAed Jackson Kowar. You may remember Kowar as the guy the Braves got in exchange for Kyle Wright. He then went to the Mariners that same offseason in the Jarred Kelenic deal, but hit the shelf with Tommy John Surgery. He made it back to the majors with Seattle in 2025 and pitched 17 innings, but had some pretty bad peripherals and finished with -0.2 fWAR."
A major winter storm blanketed much of the continental United States, creating power concerns and temporarily slowing baseball coverage. ESPN released a top prospect list that included Cam Caminiti, JR Ritchie, and Didier Fuentes. Analyst Eric Longenhagen at FanGraphs rated Fuentes higher than many outlets, a divergence that aligns with Fuentes' inconsistent placement on offseason Top 100 lists while Caminiti appears more frequently. Multiple former Braves pitchers experienced roster movement recently: Jackson Kowar was designated for assignment by the Mariners after a 2025 return yielded poor peripherals, and Patrick Weigel signed a minor-league deal with the Rockies seeking another MLB opportunity.
