July 9, 20241 yr Author I'm just going to assume that if Bazzana falls, the Sox snap him up. Same with Condon.

The prep guys have nowhere to play this year so they’ll be hanging out in Arizona. 2 hours ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: Love your work. Fine by me if we go pitching is rounds 2-3 if they are HS or big fallers.. If this is what happens, I wouldn't love 4/6 pitchers, but do like the Hurd pick later. The issue is that you can’t create players who don’t exist. I just don’t love taking college bats in rounds 3-6 or so and HS bats are expensive and it’s a weak class.

There isn't going to be a low risk profile in this group.

Also, if you're drafting Cags, you're drafting the bat. Just put him at 1B and hope he mashes. I personally think for once this is a short sighted view by scouts. The guy is a decent athlete with a cannon who has spent a lot of time honing 2 crafts - pitching and hitting. If he isn't pitching in the minors - than allowing a good athlete to invest the time to become a corner outfielder, in my opinion, is 100% worth it. If it doesn't work in the minors - fine, than adjust - but I think if I were to draft him - I'd do it thinking his bat is absolutely plus plus, but also at least throwing some chips out there that I'll let him learn the outfield (this isn't like a Vaughn who had basically zero plus outfield tools, heck, zero break-even outfield tools). The other way you draft him - is you love his bat and in that case, why not see if he can develop as well into a premium relief type prospect (but use him in a select manner - so you know he's only going 2-3 times per week). As I think the Shoehei rule gives some protection to him to stay at DH once he comes out (but I may be wrong).
