Also, here's BA on Hampton.

Oh for those interested in Valdes. Here's a BA scouting report.

Hmm. You might have decided my summer Chicago trip date.

I too was wondering about this. Has the strategy/approach truly changed? Why? Simply because they feel the system is top heavy? Has the power dynamic on these decisions changed recently? Have they realized the current approach hasn't been paying dividends? Maybe they are just going to George Costanza it this year and do the exact opposite of their best instincts/judgement and luck into a bunch of high ceiling prep talent working out.

These second round targets are fun. I'm all about this!

Is this just your schtick? Repetitive snarky toxic comments with little to no substance? I mean at least Fathom is funny and can add intelligent discourse to a topic with his negativity. You bring nothing of worth to this message board and are the most deserving person to add to an ignore list since Insp.

Wow. Bleday eh? That'd certainly be some savings.

I'll continue with my Pusha T theory.

WHY IS THERE ALL THIS WOOING?

I hope we glean something from Kiley's next update. He said he had to ask his managing editor how to write it up.

Looks like Fangraphs updated where the top draft prospects would fit in the Top 100 Prospects list. See below if you're into that kinda thing.

Seconded. Abrams + another mid to late first round prep talent at 45 is much more interesting to me than the recent draft trends. *Opens BA Top 500 to research.*

Thanks for the intel. It's appreciated. Hearing anything on second round targets? Or possibly pushing a tougher sign to that pick to couple with an Abrams savings? I'd love to see two high ceiling prep players with picks 1 and 2.

I'm curious about potential round 2 targets, and what kind (if any) savings we might see if with an Abrams or even a Vaughn selection.

In case some of y'all are like me and can be oblivious to impending dates/times, the draft is on Monday. Hype. Also, I believe we might be getting a Fangraphs mock today.

I know this has come up before, but what if it goes Vaughn, Rutschman? Do they go Witt over Abrams? I could also see a scenario where they are anti-prep still and Bleday is the pick. (Who I like, but would hate if Witt is still on the board.)

Comes with this caveat on 1.1 though.

Vaughn.

This is amazing. Wow. Re-rain delay.

Why did this game restart right now? This is ridiculous.

Can we try Mendick yet?

This rain still doesn't look great.

Covey has been pretty okay today other than the Rosario changeup that was blasted.
