    Surprised Ristolainen is below the Leaf duo.

    No McAvoy?

    • Dobber 2017-05-05 at 11:46

      No, as I noted on Twitter – I made a terrible mistake and missed filling in a value on McAvoy. Should be Top 90 for sure, my oversight, sorry.

        Makes sense. Thanks! Who has a higher ceiling for their first full season, McAvoy, Bowie or Montour?
