Misner

BTW, I like Vaughn's bat too. I believe that arm/field/run tools are significantly less volatile going from amateur to pro than the hit and power tools. Hit and power are the most volatile tools for a position player going from amateur to pro and that fact is why I view him as incredibly risky. I'd rather draft someone with insane upside that is capable of playing a position. A corner OF can be moved to 1B. So can a 3B or catcher. I've never questioned his current bat skills. I tend to believe in toolsy players with huge upside over safer players. It's a numbers game. The more of those types you draft, the more likely it is that you hit the jackpot. Same with pitchers. I believe in stuff guys. I believe you go upside in the 1st round and balance it with with safer players in the later high rounds.

Kam Misner would be a great 2nd round pick if he makes it there. I doubt he does though.

I'm tired of arguing with Ray Ray it's obvious we view the game through an entirely different lens.

You don't take players based on present value dude.

Like I said I understand why they picked him but I'm really nervous about it.

I vehemently disagree. I think you couldn't be more wrong.

This guy better rake.

In baseball? Absolutely you're right. But he's riskier than others.

That is why he's super risky. If the bat doesn't become elite it looks really bad.

My opinion is that Vaughn is the riskiest position player in the top 10. I'll understand why they picked him but he's a huge gamble.

The only absloute is that everyone has a considerable amount of risk.

I like Klaw, but there is risk in everyone in the baseball draft and for that reason I can't justify taking a 1B in the top 5.

I'm hoping they go with Bleday at this point.

Very true.

What's that? Someone who looks like a future Cowboy cheerleader?

So Vaughn or Bleday then.

@DirtySox how do you make the generic quote box?

If all of those guys are 50 FV, then Vaughn should be the last taken.

I think the Os are going to take Adley and try to lowball him and use the injury as an excuse. I think it is worth it to them because should he not sign, they'll have 2 of the top 3 picks next year, if not the top 2. They actually have all of the leverage because they're so bad that they could just take him again next year and get him for even less. They could straight up tell him to take it or leave it because they're likely to have the option to take him again next year.

Be prepared, because people have to get paid, paywalls are the future of the internet. It won't be long before you have to pay to read just about anything. If they don't beat net neutrality, they'll just paywall everything.

Save money

Giolito and Colome are locks. The rest are in a tough spot. Gary Sanchez would probably make it because jankees. McCann and Abreu probably have the best shot among position players because of weak competition. It will be tough for Moncada and Anderson because of stiff competition from those guys.

I thought people were more rational with Moncada than him.

Game threads are me reacting to what's going on in that game that day. If he was going 0-4 with a sombrero of course I'd rip on him for that. I ripped on Konerko when he'd GIDP with RISP. I'm non-discriminatory in GDT. If you suck, you suck. Don't you remember the "nickname" GIDPPK?
