Makes so much sense for them, this is their chance to really go for it this year, and they have a ton of prospect capital to get it done without killing the system.

I think Hagan Smith is the starting point for Detmers, I wouldn't give up Bonemer or Carlson for him. If you gave up say Hagan, Lodise, and Gabe Davis (I personally think that is a little light) for Detmers, and Mason Adams, Landon Hodge, and Mongollon for Singer and Stevenson, that would be great with me. Add in Hays for a mid inning reliever.

Holmes, Ray, and a catcher. Give up very little, maybe someone like Lodise for Ray and Davis for Holmes. I would prefer Singer and Stephenson (in addition to one of those other pitchers) although I think that would require probably something along the lines of Adams and Mongollon.

I haven't done a deep dive but not sure why more people aren't in on Brady Singer. Since June 1, he's started 9 games, 52.1 innings, 17 earned runs (2.92), k/walk 52/16. Guy will cost very little and offers good upside imo. Could package him and Stephenson and probably not have to give up anyone in the top 10 (post-draft). Would still leave plenty for another pitcher or two.

When I saw Bonemer play, he was definitely athletic. Dude moves like a strong safety. Very well built, straight line fast although not a ton of lateral quickness from what I observed.

Not gonna pretend to know anything about these players, but I am a fan of the approach so far, prep bats with lots of upside and college pitchers. Would still like to see them roll the dice on a prep pitcher in the next few rounds.

Totally fair. I think his athletic and character are what's giving him this juice right now.

He concentrated a lot on football in high school, according to several of my buddies with connections to LT. That could be part of his issue with secondaries.

Slightom is my guess.

He was filthy last night. That running fastball looked like Skenes with its insane tail into RHH, and a nasty slider to pair with it.

He is really terrible at blocking, swipes at the ball rather puffing up with his chest. Really concerning.

I thought there was still a decent chance for 3B. LF or 1B works if his bat is as good as it can be, for sure.

Not sure that 11 is up to date, as it only has him playing 3 games with BIRM. Edit: That's actually the errors he's made playing SS. There are also 8 he's made play 3B, for 19 total. https://www.milb.com/player/caleb-bonemer-815352?stats=career-r-fielding-minors&year=2026 Either way, I agree. Like I said, I am a huge fan of his and expect it to even out.

I lived in India briefly 25 years ago. Was by far the most popular there, soccer a distant second.

Bonemer 0-4 with 3 errors. I am a huge fan of the guy, say him play live last season with Kanny and was fully on board - very athletic player and simple, powerful swing imo. But a rough go so far at AA. Rough go fielding all year, that's probably 20 errors or so on the season.
