Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Brandon's son. He's a fantastic defender but the bat is a little light though he seems to be swinging it pretty good here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Looks like Cags has made a couple adjustments on the mound. He needs a big improvement of his command if he wants to stay a 2 way guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Will Taylor is the guy I'm most intruiged by in this years draft and I can't believe there isn't video of this home run. He was a WR at Clemson for two years and quit this year to focus on baseball so this is the first fall he's ever played baseball. He has a couple things to clean up in his game and if he makes that jump he could be a top of the first round guy. Getz said he wants more speed and athleticism. Well, this could be his guy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Burns has to prove he can handle a starters workload and if he does he has a good chance to be the top pitcher in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Sirota is an interesting cat. He's a big strong dude w/plus bat speed and he can also run and really defend. He goes to a small D1 (Northeastern) but he was a 16th round pick by the Dodgers out of HS so you know he's not just some small college stat guy.

Boopa1219 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 https://youtu.be/hfwzqnhlpKo?si=HwzB4ZX-zVjosqsB I hope this guy falls to the Sox. Yes, it’s not a premium position guy but he can do three premium things. He can hit, he can get on base and he can hit the ball out of the park with regularity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Hartle is a master of deception who can realy spin it and has plus command. If his stuff ticks up a bit he has a chance to be the first lefty off the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Seaver King is a d2 transfer from Wingate College where he put up crazy numbers. He's stepping up big in class but he also hit well in a short stint on the Cape. Very interesting twitchy athlete w/feel to hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Condon is a big SOB (6'6"215) and has big time power. He red shirted as a freshman and had a monster sophomore season so there's not a long track record here. He might be able to handle left field for a couple years before he moves to 1B but the bat seems legit and the power is massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 The amount of 1b profile at the top of this draft is terrifying. When you add two other top picks with 2b profiles, this is not the draft you want to be picking super high in. Especially with that f-ed up new top 6 rule. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why unless my guy Will Taylor makes a jump which I'm really hoping he does I think they should go college arm. The organization obviously needs arms and there should be some pretty good ones to chose from at the top of the draft. I'm not a big Chase Burns fan but I'll give him the spring to prove he can start. I like Brody Brecht and Thatcher Hurd. I like Hagen Smith but he has to stay healthy which has proven difficult for Arkansas pitchers. Then there are guys who can make jumps like Jac Caglianone, Ben Hess, Jon Santucci, Michael Massey and Josh Hartle. It should be fun to follow these guys during the spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the class isn't considered super strong at the top, having that large bonus pool is a huge boon. If you are good at identifying, drafting, and developing at least.
