Totally gonna be Wolf in 4th and Bordner in 5th.

And that he wanted a college pitcher.

I tend to agree. If Singer is drafted though it’s going to be difficult to look at it without cross eyes. It’s not about even being right in the pick, it’s about following a sound process. These scouts followed out based on the criteria a KW oversaw, he should trust it. also not to be a Thad but I mean based on the Hostetler interview it could be Jerry right?

BA and pipeline consistently rate high performing college pitchers higher and it’s a reason I think they are worse. Fangraphs at an overall level devalued pitching prospects and I think that’s correct.

I don’t know where I stand on the spoiler tags but I lean against it. The news travels too fast to regulate if you are already online.

This is incredibly disappointing for not only the draft but the rebuild writ large

Just got back from game. Very fun. I feel insanely confident when Jace Fry is pitching.

When you hear things like Cincy is all over singer, you gotta question yourself.

Sorta. I know for the White Sox we talk about how you just draft BPA but the Phillies really do have a lot of Madrigal-profile or low power guys.

Wasn’t Kendall at like 28%? I remember looking it up last year and could find no mlb comp that had a k rate that bad in college. Like even Mark Reynolds was 18% or something

I don’t find Liberatore to be that high upside tbh.

Yeah, I guess I don’t know if it’s an evaluation issue or a draft allocation issue edit: I agree it’s an issue though.

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.
