You can't really tell at the time who is going to be good. For example in 2015 Vladdy was #4, Soto #22, and Tatis #27

Of course it is, the owners have given the players most of its original demands so the fact that this is going on shows they want to push it for more as a Union tends to do.
Is there really that big of a sticking point(s) to go through this lockout and potentially lose games over? I've read briefly some of them and it doesn't seem like anything to shut things down over.

Theres a bunch of stuff. But, it's only December and there's plenty of time. A lockout wouldn't be a good look for either side when we're seeing $100 million or more being thrown around like it's nothing.
That's only the demands that they have discussed. Actual money has been off the table from the owners more or less.
And today's meeting probably got shut down about the two baseball scandal.
There's a prevailing opinion from the media that the owners are okay with the lockout eating into a part of the season (say one or two months) so long as they get summer baseball in season and a playoff.
Ross Stripling is 32, has been in the league for six seasons, and is still under arbitration control.
Trust me, most of the greed is on the owners.

I guess I more so meant is he going to be a highly touted prospect that a lot of teams will be after or is he just a guy?

and Max in his later 30's just signed a 3 year deal at 40+ mil a year i think its fair to say it goes both ways
It's hilarious to me that he's like "unlikely a deal gets done before the lockout but expect the Jays to get both!"
An absolute King.
Yes, you can sometimes find a few players who are adequately paid. If only some of that money was back in Steve Cohen's pocket, oh the humanity.

I assume he meant before free agency is out which includes the period of now to the first game.
