I don’t think signability for the prep hitters is a thing as it is with the pitchers this year. Heard Hampton was pretty getable

Its not great, but great command, good pitcher. Would love in third but We also need just some depth pitchers: : 6-1 | Wt: 217 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: In a year in which it’s hard to find pitchers scouts like, Sikkema is one pitcher scouts truly love. They love his feisty mound presence, his feel for pitching and his craftiness. And they also love his long, illustrious track record. The son of a baseball coach, Sikkema was Missouri’s moment-of-truth reliever as a freshman, when he tied Tanner Houck’s school freshman record with eight wins. Midway through his sophomore season, Sikkema moved from being the Tigers’ closer to taking over as the Friday night starter and excelled immediately. As a junior, he’s been consistently dominant as the club’s Saturday starter, going 6-3, 1.22 with an .180 opponent average as of early May. Sikkema is a thick-bodied pitcher without much, or any, projection left. He uses both an over-the-top arm slot as well as a three-quarter slot, switching back and forth to mess with hitters. He can reach up to 93-95 mph with his fastball when he raises his arm slot in short stints, but he generally sits 89-92 mph as a starter with plenty of arm-side run from the lower slot. He mixes four pitches, none of which is a plus offering, but all four are average or better. He throws an above-average slurve from his lower arm slot that has some power and depth and a more traditional, average curveball from over the top. He willingly mixes in an average changeup as well. All of his offerings play up because Sikkema fills the zone with strikes to both sides of the plate. If a team wants to move Sikkema back to the bullpen, he could move quickly. But he has likely worked his way high enough in the draft to get sent out as a starter, where a team would count on his feel and bulldog mentality to make up for any deficiencies in his pure stuff.

Seriously. Analysis is fun but these dudes also aren’t immediate contributors, there’s no trades, and it’s obvious the show itself is hugely slowing shit down. It’s ridiculous.

Naw, not much. Small has incredible command and there isn’t much difference among players the later down the draft you go. I loved small for Sox.

So we are in the comp round. My takeaways: - Leiter is unsignable at this point. - Misner, Paris somewhat surprising drops to me - This comp round is going to be a blood bath for the players I like ?
