Look at Ray Ray Run

Bobby Witt jrs gf could not look more Texas athlete girlfriend.

One of the biggest jerks to ever play the game. Looks like adley just got a call from the Orioles

Sox could probably work with Jackson ruthledge - honestly would be a great fit but no chance.

Poor kids... travel all the way to the draft just to be stuck talking to randy assmunch Johnson.

I want Tre Fletcher in the 2nd round.

We'll be in round 3, my guy tre fletcher will be off the board and harold will be saying... "honestly, I see Ken Griffey jr in this kid... and that's just a modest projection!"

Harold compares every draft pick to hall of famers lol. Does it every year.

Seems like Adley is holding pat while the O's try to cite medicals as a concern.

Witts favorite players are Dustin Pedroia and Derek Jeter. I pass now.

I would never, ever, draft a high school pitcher in the early rounds of an MLB draft because the high school kids we evaluate, are evaluated for the wrong reason. They are discussing this partly on mlb network now.

Witt has the pedigree and 5 potentially + tools... I would be happy with either, but for some reason when I look at him I see a right handed Stephen Drew which is blah.

Reynolds doing a nice breakdown of Vaughn on MLB Network right now. edit: he teased me, still, he broke down some stuff.

Those two have a swing and miss in their game that likely will only get worse at the next level. Vaughn will be a slugger who controls his k-rate likely - it's very possibly Vaughn runs sub 18-17 k rates leading to him walking more than he strikes out which is the huge difference between his bat and the two you listed. Far better hit tool with the same power.

I'd take bishop over green in a heart beat. Bishop is so raw as a baseball player - similar to anderson and development can come rapidly and all at once with limited reps. His adjustments this year are off the chart and you still have that uncertaint high school like ceiling because he got started full time so late.

Seems very possible for a high school kid. It's really uncomfortable to be evaluated by people you dont know who then question you as if they know you and then draw conclusions based on your awkward, uncomfortable and nervous responses

I dont think anyone is saying college is the same as the pros. It's certainly a hell of a lot closer than Georgia high school baseball though

The makeup guy they dq'ed didnt have a questionable makeup.. they implied it was widely known and all his teammates hate him. I'd be shocked if that was abrams.

Theres literally nothing historic about any Abrams tool. His speed? Puhleeze. Hes not faster than Buxton of Billy Hamilton or Engel for God sakes. Speed ages poorly. His hit tool grades plus for a high school kid but that means nothing at the next level. His numbers weren't off the charts this year. If Abrams doesnt tap into power, if his hit tool doesnt translate, if he doesnt stay at short stop, then he's not worth the pick. If any of those three happen, imo, he wasnt worth it. That's far too risky for me. I want two elite tools from a high school kid. Not one and one + tool. Especially when that other tool is by far the hardest tool to grade - in a HS even more so(the hit tool)

I actually disagree. I think it's more likely this leaked from the analytical side (the hostetler/hahn) side to push back on Kenny's preference.

That 60/60 you see from FG is present. That 70/80 you see from BP is FV. I think FGs FV is 65/60 on vaughn. I lean more towards BP's grades.

I'll link when I'm home, but I read the 70/65 piece I believe from theringer. Sorry, its 65/60 and the point about vlad being only hitting prospect better graded is true. There are scouts that put Vaughn at 70/65.

Priester falling has become a real possibility the past month+.

Because he'd be mashing against kids his own age - proving maturity wasnt why.

Regressing towards an xFIP really isnt a thing. Standardizing home runs against basically standardizes quality of contact against - which can vary pitcher to pitcher. Giolito could be a true 8% home run guy with his new stuff. Normalizing towards FIP is much more likely.

The Mike Leake comps don't excite me too much - they also make a lot of sense. Leiter doesn't have elite stuff by any means but he throws everything for strikes and has three average pitches already. Leake was pretty much big league ready the day he was drafted but his ceiling just isn't there.
