Yeah, though I think last year he learned his lesson to not say things like “we’re gonna draft HS to balance things out”. They clearly evaluate with a favorability toward college, but also are going to let draft come to them and not force something like that

And health, hopefully.

Yeah I don’t think he’ll tap into the power altuve has, I do think he can tap into more power however and be something like 2016 Adam Eaton

A girl and her mother said he did it.

If we are going to hold Heimlichs denial up as proof, shouldn’t we also note that the victim has not?

Sorry is a lawyer actually arguing the veracity of a polygraph test?

A background check.

A significant part of being a big leaguer is fan outreach and meeting kids. He probably could not get a job as a teacher anywhere.

The only notable DSL guys that I could identify would be: Jefferson Mendoza, C, 17 and one of our 300k signings last year Jerrick Francees, SS, 17 out of Aruba Sydney Pimentel, 17, another one of our few 2017 signings is in AZL along with nearly all of last years DSL guys worth anything. Joseu Guerrero, Carraballo, Mieses, Comas, Kleydar Sanchez, Brayant Nova, all are stateside. This isn’t some incredible development but guys like brayant nova we’re in DSL for two years before heading stateside. All of the 2016 guys with good bonuses are moved now. Its interesting to me. The assignments after the draft could maybe throw water on this.

That was my guess, but when you say it like that it sounds like it was basically “well we have an extra 600k, uh just give it to sheets”

The huge overslot signing by Sheets always confused me.

That’s exciting. Looks like quite a few of that 2016 class may have moved stateside! Interesting to see the lineup next few days.

Rarely are hitters projected with those numbers. That’s a 70 hit tool with 70 game power. That’s a once a decade prospect let alone a 4th overall guy.

This is premature. I hope they turn out but Burdi has a 34 K% in AAA. If Ruiz and Hamilton keep their numbers at that level then you get excited. Burdi was really good.

The player I’m actually wavering a bit on now is Bohm. There are some reports that have given me pause on his bat.

There are too many reports of how he uses his whole body to drive to lead me to believe that’s the whole picture. He will have to advance his approach to look for more pitches he can drive, and not just hit it because you can. Hard to change that when it’s working.

Maybe...just maybe they could view Singer as the more impactful players. The idea that if they draft the player you want it’s for the right philosophy but if they draft the player you don’t its because they are trying to draft for need is silly.

I wouldn’t be that upset if it’s Singer, but I just can’t shake this feeling that he gets here, loses MPH off of his fastball as he moves to pro workload and is suddenly this 89-91 mph pitcher we hope works.

Hope that’s a fourth round pick

Yes this though! i like Jackson. Maybe not the defensive stalwart long term but really interesting.

Ugh. Crap. think I would lean 1

Wow blown away by your hall of fame examples

I would actually be pretty happy with this.

Good stuff. So I'm not big on player profile orthodoxy but I really don't want a prep RHP after reading the BA article a few weeks back on the high bust rate within the top ten that has led the industry to re evaluate what it's getting wrong with them.

if only everything that helped didn't happen and all the things that hurt aren't mentioned literally every series would flip.
