I love Lowder and Petty.

Konnor Griffin and Brody Brecht sound fun to me.

Sure. Hope he continues to ball out and flip him at the deadline. Fine with this.

Yup.

This is the correct take. They are pretty much picking where they should be. Would have been nice to be top 3 or outside of 6, but luck is a fickle mistress. Such is life.

Well s%*#.

This feels so amateur. Brad Paisly why?

I'm feeling #2.

Pretty much. Having a big bonus pool is nothing to scoff at.

What's the outlook on my boy Brody Brecht?

There is not an established generational type talent in this draft class. Considered pretty thin at the top. Here's the BA summary of it at current state.

I feel like that is Lip's schtick. Repeatedly telling people a pitcher has an injury, telling us to outlive Jerry, and telling us he interviewed someone associated with the White Sox.

Didn't you earlier allude to scouts not being able to do their job because of the existence of Dan Fabian? Even with Rick/Kenny gone? Or do you expect that to change?

If the Sox do end up receiving a very high pick, I hope they get creative with the bonus pool considering the weak top of the class.

Give me #7 or #1. No in-between, thanks.

You sounded like the return of Parkman. It was uncanny.

I actually don't hate a Braves package centered around Grissom, Smith-Shawver, Waldrep/Murphy. Think I might prefer it to what the Dodgers have to offer. It's not Baltimore, but I like Grissom and lord knows the system needs pitching.

From the actual Athletic article.

They were using a pre-tacked ball. Believe they reverted back to a normal ball at some point. Regardless, Mena has always struck out a lot of guys. At every stop. He's one of my favorite prospects. Relies so heavily on his breaking stuff though. I imagine he starts out in Charlotte? Hard to discount a guy who is only 20 doing what he's doing. Especially if it continues in AAA.

No idea if the Reds are interesed, but wish they had some position player headliners. I thought Cam Colier would take off at some point but boy is his write-up rough. Lowder and Petty would be great on the pitching side though.

To chain off Bmags, here's the BA Cowser scouting report. He's 4th behind Holliday, Basallo, Mayo.

This is a great observation. I usually write off Morosi. Doesn't seem to have the track record on breaking things like your Rosenthals and Heymans. He loves to jerk off anything Michigan related, so him and Getz having that connection definitely raises an eyebrow as far as White Sox leaks go for now and the future.
