Jose Abreu

Vaughn and Thompson collectively will save us about $1,000,000 IMO.

Waiting until mid-June 2020 to call up Robert at this rate makes no sense. The absolute latest we should see him is late-April

Totally agree, it's just better than the alternatives IMO, aside from debuting him on the road or waiting until July (please no)

Yes we are out of the Super 2 range I believe, since the season started so early.

If they give him one more start in AAA, he'd have to debut against the Yankees or Cubs, which would go against their usual philosophy for pitching debuts

Patel is now my favorite draft pick solely because he's Indian

It isn't confirmed, as it's not something the team can really announce while he still has a scheduled start for Charlotte, but they also have done a pretty bad job at keeping it a secret

Dalquist is definitely overslot, and Beard most likely is as well. Every other pick we've made is probably underslot IMO.

Andrew Vaughn

How is Osmond still out there? Especially with the 2 way player craze

Ha, sure. If healthy though, Robert is gonna be a primary CFer for basically his whole career. Sort of like LoCain.

Unless Beard takes 15 years to develop, I don't think this will come to fruition

@bmags you've been killing it with the draft analysis and profiles (and moderation, I would assume), thank you

Jimenez

Last AAA start for Cease!

He would have been a better fit for Kauffman.

Oddly enough, it reminds me of Giolito a bit

yes

Hampton, Henderson, or Hinds. Give me an H.

There goes Misner

@Look at Ray Ray Run the other day you posted a projected MLB slash line for Vaughn that takes his college numbers and puts them into an algorithm that compensates for the better competition. You gave 2 lines, 1 was the expected outcome and 1 was a better outcome (which you opined may have actually been more realistic). Would you mind sharing the lines again? I can't find them anymore, they're buried in the old thread somewhere

He switched to Vaughn a few days ago

At this rate the draft will end after 2 AM CT...
