Yesterday at 04:32 AM1 day Hope after this draft we move somewhere near where the Twins land. Between the Rays and Brewers are.
17 hours ago17 hr I’ve coached football my entire adult life and our mantra when building a roster (albeit with HS kids) was to find the best athletes and worry about their position later. Obviously there’s nuance to it when comparing that philosophy to MLB players, but always give me the very best athletes who have the attributes to play other positions, or guys who have shown positional flexibility. For me, watching that game where Lackey played every spot shows me that he exhibits positional flexibility. I get he’s a phenomenal catching prospect, but he’s a guy that could absolutely be a future OF prospect. He’s proven durable during his college career. He’s my choice. His bat is going to travel.

7 hours ago7 hr I'll be honest here. I haven't heard Jackson Flora's name one time throughout the entire process.

Feels like one thing has been achieved, 2 months ago we didn’t think Sox would have leverage at 1 to get a material under slot deal (it was always going to be at least a bit under)…but now they just might. How good of a prospect is Flora? I’ve just been focused on the bats cause it feels like with Roch, Lackey and Emerson they all have that hit tool.

We don’t need another overhyped “ace” that can’t either hit the strike zone or stay healthy. Take the guy that will contribute with his bat almost everyday, as well as with his glove.
