Harold's Leg Lift

The guy I'm most interested to see where he goes is Michael Massey. He's a 2nd round talent with off the charts makeup but has a back injury that teams are obviously dinging him for. We've seen what back injuries can do to players (Joe Crede, Brent Morel) but if there's a kid to take a chance on it's Mass.

There are some interesting colege arms on the board (Miller,Cronin, Song) but it would be damn hard to pass on Tyler Callihan if he'd sign for 3rd round money.

There will be 1,200 players drafted. Going 6th overall is not "slipping".

The perception is he's not a ballplayerTM .

If the tools translate to the next level it doesn't matter if they're playing against 10 year olds or 50 year olds.

I illistrated that point in my previous post.

The Indians use algorithms to select their players which is why they draft young players. Those algorithms ding players for age. The White Sox do not use algorithms.

If they believe in his tools and think they will translate to the next level it doesn't matter how old he is in high school.

Maybe the 2nd or 3rd best pure hitter in the draft. He's getting dinged by stat drivin teams because of his age. He could be an absolute steal for a traditional scouting team.

*sigh* Thank you

Law mock people. Law mock.

I think that's a ploy to steer clear of some organizations they may not want to be part of but I think the Sox would be a good match for him. They have a good history with pitchers and Al is still an old school pitching guy and they don't come more old school than Don Cooper. It could work if they're willing to meet his price.

I don't but damn it's fun to dream on Jack Lieter.

I think they really like Brett Baty.

He's no Pete Incaviglia.

Vaughn doesn't have enough forearm hair.

Bold

This isn't last minute draft hype. I said that 2 weeks ago.

Very well could be.

Like I said: There's some crazy Brett Baty love out there.

Last night Rutschman was intentionally walked with the bases loaded. That is all.

I think it goes: Tier 1 Rutschman, Witt Tier 2 Abrams, Bleday, Greene, Vaughn Tier 3 and beyond A giant mess of man goo

Spencer Torkelson will be next years Andrew Vaughn.

I like my odds better.

Last year was there a Fry = Thornton 2.0 thread? Relievers are volatile.
