Hope they are right with his arm, but guy with good fastball and curve and huge size is a good pick to me.

two more til white sox.

They get plenty of advantages already and getting multiple extra draft picks every year is a huge advantage, and the threshold for when you go from small with compensation to big enough for compensation is not nearly bore out in the execution of this. It's a hamfisted compromise made by owners that don't think the draft is that big of a deal.

yeah, exactly. Do the white sox draft but also add Madden or Petty. It's absurd.

wow that changes the pirates draft quite a bit.

was he drafted?

every year I think I'm prepared to not get mad about them, then a bunch of tweets on a team with 2 more draft picks in top 50 than anyone else gets a "great draft" comment and it makes me want to throw my phone.

My main worry is still that Hostetler's drafts lacked system balance. And if Shirley is going to run drafts often like last year, we may still have a balance issue. But as weak as our Middle Infield depth was as an org, our pitching is terrifying right now if they can't transition Kopech and Crochet to starters. I am happy the got cespedes and colas, but thats where we really need to see latam supplement the org with young arms and so few make an impact past single a. All eyes on Mena, Guzman, and definitely Vera.

I thought Kaths arm was good? https://twitter.com/joedoylemilb/status/1414641962599084033?s=21

Well fuck him then

In past drafts it felt like Sox would work against the depth, ie when there was a ton of HS pitching in 2018 they seemed to go big on college hitters which was weaker. This is opposite, leaning into the depth.

Awesome!

Maybe I’m dumb and walking back on hit rate too much but it’s really hard to pass on Wood. He should probably go to school though.

Del Castillo would be terrible.

Booo commercial break

?

Naw there are lots of fun guys.

Wasn’t there a guy in mlb last year doing this?

I don’t think south Alabama qualifies as “Bama” guy

I wonder if Sox look at Baez if they are starting to feel themselves on improving hit tool.

So Royals going Kudrna feels like is the official door shutting of chandler/taylor

Yeah, like him more on second but hard to watch a pitcher have chainlink injury/performance issues when they have such crazy stuff

Damn it, ky Bush to angels. Was hoping he’d be available.

Still have liked KCs drafts over Detroit and general system more though dets rotation is already more arrived. Dets position guys are so bleh.
