The 2024 draft might turn out to be a good one if Hagen Smith and Bonemer eventually find success in the majors along with SA.

I like seeing later round picks succeed. Antonacci was 5th round. Davis Martin was 14th round (2018). More successes like these can sure give the franchise some much-needed depth.

I'm confident Bonemer will be a good player. Hagen Smith, not so much at this point.

Hell yeah

Imagine this lineup against RHP

Sam, Teel, Mune, Vargas, Colson, Montgomery, Peters, Beni, Meidroth

Very nice. Flip Peters and Meidroth if you want.

Hopefully B. Montgomery soon too. 1.004 OPS vs. RHP

I give credit to Ron for being one of the first to promote Sam before we all realized that he is a very good player.

Ron is the Chairman of this Board.

I got to watch him in the Fall League. He was my favorite player. He made some great plays. For me it is kinda cool to see a Fall League player promoted in such a short time.

We're gonna have to get some nicknames we got two Montgomerys incoming. My lineup had Colson for Colson and Montgomery for Braden.

@kitekrazy sam was signing for kids in Seattle too, he was just leaving as I was pulling up to my seat. All the kids appreciated it. If you go on twitter it seems it's something he does almost every game. He's just a really great example of a ballplayer and kudos to the scout that ID'd him. His tools aren't loud but his game is.

Almost a year ago today, he was up to the same OBP antics in Winston-Salem:

I have a dream that one day we can appreciate players while they are on our team, not just when they leave.

This is post of the week.

Braden Montgomery - Bee Moe or like the bank, BMO

You want a really bad nickname for SA? He's the Spur that is putting the giddy up in the lineup.

Sinatra was the Chairman of the Board. That nickname should be retired with him, plus it's another JR mention.

With Mune on the IL for a good part of the season, Sam has to be in the running for Rookie of the Year. This player's intensity reminds of Pete Rose. Sam and Chase Meidroth have been exceptional place setters. Too bad Mune is gone for a month or two...that injury kind of wrecked a potentially great season where he was driving in Sam, Chase and others.
