Yeah, although it's a fairly old group. But 2 years in a row now. Big fan of Jirschele, and he may be more of the modern manager that is an extension of the front office/org. Though not sure sox org is set-up to take advantage of that.

2 things would need to happen: - Improve natural strength (Some improvement expected, whether it's too marginal to matter we won't know) - Improve pitch selection - He can hit basically anything now, he'll have to learn which pitches he can drive and reduce some pitches he can just poke. This should play hand in hand with increasing his walk rate.

That's not my point. He threw out 8 HRs in 3 seasons to make it sound absurd he could hit 15 in one, but he'll likely get more PAs in 1 health MLB season at the top of the order. Madrigals power will have to improve, but it's not some astronomical amount of improvement to hit 15.

Well done. You figure in a farm system like ours you don't want more than your first 3 round picks in the top 20. Still just not that thrilled with Walker.

Oh right.

We have two more years of his endurance bicyclist body

To be honest I find Narvaez and Smith fairly interchangeable, they aren’t very good but I’ll take Smith more this year.

No, it’s cause he bats left handed, and Castillo bats right handed.

I haven’t looked into how FG does catcher defense. Seems off. Would take Soto/Castillo/Smith etc over narvy easy

Surprisingly that advantage was driven by Omar’s defense in fangraphs

All in on the Smith is good ?

Thanks!

Can someone remind me when Leury is back? July?

He hit a HR about 2% of his PAs this year including playoffs. What’s 2% of, say, 700 plate attempts?

It's coming very soon. Great falls starts in 9 days. Extended ST just ended. Bout to see a ton of movement.

1-2 balls a game? That another SS would have caught? I feel like I watch a decent amount of baseball and the low liner that's catchable by a jumping SS isn't that common.

This is referring to day 3 right?

It seems like a lot of PR players have gone off the board since round 8. I'm wondering if the hurricane recovery has brought some players to be more signable than otherwise would have.

Competition for Fulmer: Bilous walked 7.25/9ip. That's impressive!

Reminds me of hunter kiel.

FWIW these are the rounds hostetler says they start taking more direction from Getz, also will take some to keep some scouts engaged that may not have had many taken to this point. edit: would be fun to place these guys on a map.

I love our coastal carolina players (Remillard, Morrison) from that championship team, I assume I'll love this guy. Scouting Report: Drafted by the Dodgers in the 29th round out of high school despite not pitching his senior season due to Tommy John surgery, Bilous has long tantalized scouts with his potential. As a freshman at Coastal Carolina in 2016, he flashed electric stuff in Omaha, helping the Chanticleers win their first-ever national championship. Since then, he's been up-and-down as a weekend starter, going 3-2, 4.61 last season, and notching a 7-2, 3.00 record through 13 starts this spring. Bilous can look unhittable at times, featuring a 92-96 mph fastball with arm-side run, a hard, biting slider at 81-85 mph and an 84-87 mph changeup that he throws almost exclusively to lefties. The problem for the 6-foot-2, 190-pound righthander is that he struggles to repeat his release point and walks often pile up on him. In 169.1 college innings, Bilous has walked 135 batters—7.18 per nine innings. He's walked 58 (to 90 strikeouts) through 72 innings this spring—7.25 per nine. Because of his sheer lack of control, Bilous projects more as a reliever. He has the stuff to be dominant out of the bullpen, but he'll need to tighten up the location woes that have plagued him throughout his amateur career.

Yo this is Sherlock Holmes level deduction.

Genericusername wins the day. Bravo, bravo.

Exact types of picks I want.
