Brad (NJ):
JJ thanks for all your hard work. What 3 prospects have increased their stock the most in 2022? Chourio, Waldichuck, Lawler, Tovar, Nelson Velasquez, Wesnescki, Bello, Shushter?
J.J. Cooper: I can tell you are on top of things and read a lot. Increase the most? I would say Churio. The others have all increased their stock but all came from reasonably high stock levels coming into the year. And even in Chourio's case, he's not an Elly de la Cruz. Chourio was a top international propect, where de la Cruz was an under-the-radar signing who has blossomed. I'll give you one you didn't name. Tigers RHP Wilmer Flores. NDFA in 2020. Significant prospect now.
