Yea, just watch this and tell me they all didn’t know what was going down.
Even his, “I got a little worried yesterday” comment seems almost planted. Looks like he knew he was going to be selected by our team.
I too liked Abel more than Crochet... but one thing I will say is that Crochet being older bumps up his arrival estimate a great deal compared to a high school senior like Mick.
Considering some in our draft room also were on team Abel, the above was probably one of a few contributors that swayed the pick toward Garrett.
Detroit’s first two picks according to pipeline rankings: #1 and #24 = 25
White Sox: #18 and #12 = 30
Royals: #3 and #36 = 39
Reds: #13 and #89 = 102
Just a way to say, we got great value over the last couple days.
That’s because Law never ranks pitchers very high if they’re not 100% guaranteed to be a starter.
I’ve read people put the percentage of him being a reliever at 85% but if he’s Andrew Miller II, I don’t flipping care.
I’ve read it wasn’t much more than general soreness and them wanting to preserve him.
”overblown” was one word I heard regarding the injury concern.
I do trust our scouting on pitching.
