DVS is great. Sun times has been gutted in the news room but their sports section runs laps around the trib.

I don't have any problem with my statements.

Yeah it's a tough choice but I really like both options. I really don't like Detroit getting Vaughn.

Sounds awesome. Toronto is a really fun sports town. That series has been great. I'm still hoping Giannis pulls it out but Raptors deserve it, I love how Ujiri is relentless in trying to build out a winner.

Love having guys like him in org. CWS champion, solid all around. Always seems like him and Jirschele are on winners.

Yeah probably. He will definitely be popular but I don’t know how many want to pay him like a top player on the time.

*prays to the BA subscriber Gods* ”please sir... the mock draft”

Missed the game, as I have any good game all year, but encouraging especially since one of the worries with Giolitos new windup was endurance. Kudos to him for getting his body right in addition to making changes in his mechanics.

4 for $65

He did it!

SEC pitcher topping out at 90 mph? Sign Hostetler up.

I would be interested in Mizzou's TJ Sikkema in the 3rd round. He was able to go up to 95 this year after previously being high 80s.

My case for using an opener for Nova is actually a lot stronger than it was 3 weeks ago, I wish sox would consider it.

Yeesh, I love Brogdon's versatility but 28 to Porter, 18 to Lavine and 21 to Brogdon is a lot of money to some players. I think I'd rather have collison around 10-12. Brogdon had his lunch eaten up by Lowry last game.

I am very pro Abrams, but it is really hard to read such confident projections on his bat and not get excited. I'm actually a bit surprised they said Bryant and Vaughn's power was about equal as I'd have guessed they'd score Bryants higher.

Woo hoo! Yeah, I've never laid eyes on this kid but the profile descriptions all seem very worthwhile to add. Though now he's ranked often ahead of Jack Leiter so he'll either drop a lot and go to NC State or really be a lot of money.

I am excited to see how the numbers play out. Would really like bulls get someone like MKG as a backup wing too. Hopefully we hear back on Asik injury soon, that's 3mill.

yeah. In 2016 the Astros traded decent middle reliever josh fields to the dodgers for a young wild card player in Alvarez, a 17 year old who had just signed from Cuba. Sure, sure, sure wish we would have spent more on our soria/swarzak etc trades on plays like that and less on (no offense) the cordells and tilsons of the world.

People are obssessed with extensions. I'd rather have the next 1.5 years of data on him and pay market price (which we can certainly afford) than lock into him for some 4 for $30 number which isn't prohibitive but would also still be annoying if he turns back to a .650 ops catcher.

I saw that, I honestly don't buy it. It would not take much to get Garland to skip combine. I'm sure as soon as he got some feedback he is top ten, there's no point in doing more. It feels like Lebron is going to see Reddish in a workout, and supposedly NBA players are super high on Reddish/Barrett/Zion, they were all tops on AAU circuit compared to some of the soph guys that developed.

People are talking about Brogdon, especially here. I'd let Reddish learn behind Porter and would be thrilled if he dropped but I kinda think Lakers are going to grab him. I think I see it as: 1. Pels - Zion 2. Grizz - Morant 3. Knicks - Barrett (assuming they pick, but I see Barrett going either 2 or 3, or Morant 2 or 3) 4. Lakers - Reddish (I think Lebron is going to make this happen) 5. Cavs - weakest one, I am not sure, gonna say Hunter 6. Suns - Garland 7. Bulls - Culver I'm starting to fall back on White and I don't know why except people like KOC have him really low. I like the idea of a PG who pushes pace and let Lauri run in transition. I think my top possibilities are 1. Reddish 2. Garland 3. Hunter 4. Culver 5. White 6. Little

The box score on MILb has him listed with a double and 2 TB ?‍♂️

He actually had a double it looks like. Basabe 2-3 with a 3b. Sosa with a 2b, he has 16 on the year despite his huge slump. Nearing .600 Ops again.

Our drafting has been meh, but we also need to realize how much worse drafting will look without a successful player development team. That sounds too nice, without even a below average player dev team. They basically would need to draft finished products who just gradually tune up each level, or players that can survive on a tremendous tool. the finished products route is what they chose, but how many stories do we have of a prospect actually adding anything to his game? Dunning teaching Cease a spike curve? Has anyone gained power? Overhauled approach? That’s why no international signing can get above A ball.

Basically the 2015 royals.
