Yeah, not sure there is a bigger indictment of Hahn to his PD staff than that they have felt a need to get hitters who didn't need to have their approach built out. But problem isn't necessarily strength to me, it's his ichiro finish. Changing a swing on the sox requires Burger's wife. His defense is weird because it's one of those things where basically everyone seems surprised its as good as it is considering his difficulty getting going to top speed. But he did hold the SS position down for Team USA, and Law did write he can see him sticking. It's a shame for him he didn't go to the Cardinals, a team that could make a similar profile like DeJong play plus defense at short. It's funny because I actually think it does these players no favors going to the sox. They need some support in getting that extra 5% and can rely too much on what has worked. Compare that to a Colson Montgomery who knew they needed to add stuff (while still needing to do it 100% themselves)

Apologies if I missed these guys getting take. But for round 3 would like to see wolklow and detmers not go to Sox. I’d like to see them succeed very much. I would be cool with Brice matthews or getting one or hunter Owen/Whitman (haven’t seen the last pick of round 2)

Horrified at Cleveland getting clemmey. Are they reverse engineering now too?

I don’t really like the injured pitcher picks. We’ve had quite a few of the 10% who don’t work out so we’ll after surgery. I’m sure he’ll fine but it’s just not my thing.

I wonder if UCLA got cholowsky Keith law had him in his, as did BA. He was also going to be a starter, and had been in the summer and fall before blowing it out in the spring (winter?)

Just want to be clear that this is actually an upside pick for the upside boys. But I liked getting Whitmans plus control. I’m sure he goes to Cleveland and finds 5 more mph.

Again - he can make a ton of money at LSU. I don’t think he’s cheap at all.

I don’t think any player from LSU and a sophomore is gonna be that cheap

From law: Taylor is a draft-eligible sophomore who was just OK as a 20-year-old reliever last spring for LSU but was dominant on the Cape as a starter. Unfortunately, his elbow blew right before the season started and he required Tommy John surgery. On the Cape he was 92-94 mph, touching 97 mph, with a hammer curveball as his out pitch, lacking a third option, and he threw far more strikes than he had in the spring. He’s more of a wild card than the rest of the college TJ guys, since we just got a brief taste of what he might look like as a starter.

So it will kill the ceiling people but I still want Whitman. Making a play at clemmey would be fun too.
