5 hours ago5 hr I’ll always go with the player who’s almost 3 years younger. I think once Emerson gets stronger the hit and power will be plus. I worry about Roch hitting plus velocity and his lack of athleticism. I’m being picky here-lol. I still will be happy with picking Roch though. I’m just a bigger fan of Emerson and his ceiling.

4 hours ago4 hr Well.....last December, when this thread started, I said I was hoping for Emerson. Today, that is still the case, but we shall see.
4 hours ago4 hr As we approach draft day, I think a fun question is will the player we pick be our #1 prospect instantly, or will someone else internally still hold that spot?

Roch, Emerson, Lackey, and Flora are the only ones cracking the top 100 for him. Rankings below.Roch - #19Emerson - #24Lackey - #25Flora - #49Ultimately comes down to where a publication ranks Bonemer. I imagine most outlets will have Roch/Emerson/Lackey slightly ahead of Bonemer. Edited 4 hours ago4 hr by DirtySox

I imagine most outlets will have Roch/Emerson/Lackey slightly ahead of Bonemer.FWIW, Collazo at BA said he’d have Roch in the top 10 and pushing for top 5 and Emerson top 15 to 20. I’d assume that would be Roch above Bonemer at minimum.

Any of the 3 in there immediately become our top prospect. Schultz would have been close had we not seen his control issues / knee issues pop back (which are clearly related). With everyone else graduating and Hagen falling down too, Bonenmer doesn't quite get there and BMont is strong but maybe not quite there (or maybe he has also graduated, not sure).
