I’ve never heard this debate I’m only familiar with bad white sox draft comp vs bad white sox draft comp.

Im assuming you meant it’s a choice between Aaron poreda or uh *looks through draft history* Steve...uh Steve trout

Nose candy went to my high school as well as Cliff floyd.

Hilarious that Vaughn is better than Torkelson and yet Torkelson is easily 1-1 because he MIGHT POSSIBLY POTENTIALLY COULD play LF MAYBE.

Baseball teams have become so much smarter, yet still have weird stupid rules for prospects.

Bistko >>>>>>>>>>> Abel too

I'd rather have the one extra year of development under my control. Bistko being really young is a huge advantage.

Agreed. I like Abel as a long term project. He has everything you want in an HS pitching prospect. (except maybe being LH)

Apparently picks 10 and 11 are locked. 

Detmers and then Crochet to our guys

Baltimore might take Nick G

And Foscue to 13

Its also because this year is crazy for scouting so the "safe" factor makes a huge difference.

Is this from a tweet?

It's the same reason why if Meyer was slightly taller, he'd be a 1-1 candidate.

I just don't get it. Stuff is stuff.

We heard it from two agents.

For arms, this is more of a durability issue being 6'0 or shorter as a starter. I think it's nonsense at the top of the top of the talent pools, though.

I love how people show the WAR leaderboard for RH 1st baseman drafted in first round, and say they're bad picks...

Or, maybe teams could have actually drafted the elite hitting 1st baseman? Teams missing and whiffing on the picks doesn't make the position a bad pick.

Based on what?

 

With only 5 picks, I think the under slot thing isn’t going to be as prevalent this year. You have to take BPA. 

I'm against Harold again on someone; he hates Nick Gonzales, claims he benefits from shit competition. It's nonsense. The kid can play. He's a top 5 player in this draft for me. Respect your thoughts though Harold.

Given that 1 good player will make this a great "draft," I'm with you here.

Vaughn might be a slightly better hitter than tork but his is a bit undersized at 6 ft and his raw power is ok but not spectacular for a 1b (last year his top ev was 111 mph which would have ranked 100th+ in mlb last year).

He still probably has the chance to hit 30+ Homers but he doesn't have the classic plus plus raw for a 1b but more above  average power that plays up due to his good bat.

That a 6 ft 1b with 55-60 raw is selected third overall shows how highly the industry rates his bat.

Callis/Mayo final mock. Still Crochet.

 

Kiley has ed Howard 10! Hope so for his sake. Don’t stop get it get it

Ed Howard will go to the Rays or the Dodgers and will excel. Life sucks.

So the two highest ranking black officials and Theo had to twist MLB’s arm for them to do this?
