Frank Thomas, as a pure hitter is one of the top 10, if not top 5 right handed hitters of all time. I realize how special Frank Thomas was. But the point remains, he was a 1b. You cant just pass on a guy because hes 1b.

June 4, 20196 yr 3 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: I'm of the opinion that this is a crappy draft for guys I like. I'm fine with Vaughn, hope he rakes. To be honest, I really wasn't crazy about anyone other than Adley and Witt. Whichever guy they took if those two were of the board I'd be fine with. in the T10, 3-10 were meh to me. This may sound crazy, but I trust people who are paid for their opinion more than mine on this. My whole argument about Vaughn wasn't that he is a bad pick, or even the wrong pick. It is more about the notion that he's "safe" when he's anything but. There has been a misunderstanding about me absolutely hating Vaughn, and that couldn't be further from the truth. I think his hit tool carries, he’ll be a MLB hitter at the very least, serviceable 1B or DH is his likely floor. Guys like Abrams or Bedlay may have higher upside but absolutely bigger question marks. I just didn’t agree with your Vaughn being the most risky top 10 pick comment.

June 4, 20196 yr @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

June 4, 20196 yr Author If the MLB ever wanted the draft to get any attention, the pace of it now is beyond horrible.

Some of the comments make no sense. Besides for Rutschman, Vaughn is basically the safest pick to make it to MLB.

Analysis is fun but these dudes also aren’t immediate contributors, there’s no trades, and it’s obvious the show itself is hugely slowing shit down. It’s ridiculous.
