I don’t get why people want to move him off of 1B. Any team that drafts should keep him at 1B, give up on the pitching, and have him focus on the bat 100% of the time, which should make him a fast riser to the bigs. Asking him to play the outfield and learn a new position, only delays the bat

July 14, 20241 yr I want Condon, Bazzana, Jac or Griffin. Stay the hell away from Wetherholt, Kurtz and Rainer. I don't see us really connected with them thankfully

July 14, 20241 yr Seems like it would almost be a surprise at this point (assuming Bazzana) doesn’t fall, if it’s not Cags, Griffin or JJ.

You're talking about a prospect where, graduating through the minors and becoming a big league 1B is one outcome. A trade is another. Moving to another position (which a lot of prospects do) opens 1B for a lesser athlete who can still hit.
July 14, 20241 yr Hope Burns goes 3 or inside top 4. Would help shape board up even more so for Sox at 5 for a bat.
July 14, 20241 yr https://blogs.fangraphs.com/fangraphs-2024-day-one-draft-chat/ Eric will be Woj-ing picks like usual.
