Harold's Leg Lift

Because Bauer is a master at making balls look like strikes.

My God. Bauer has plus command of 4 plus pitches. Dude is at the absolute top of his game right now. Wow

2 more bombs for Machado last night. He's having a monster season. He may have passed Tatis for MVP.

Sale had a longer arm swing while Crochet is more of a short armer. His arm path/stroke is very similar to Lucas Giolito's. It's the new Driveline way.

It was a really deep draft and a short spring season so teams didn't get as good a look at players as they would like so they were much more risk averse. Credit the Sox (Kenny Williams) for their testicular fortitude. They said hell with it we're taking the player with the highest ceiling.

He's a soft lander. It's not a red flag but some teams may consider it a yellow flag. It's not a deal breaker. Would like to see him land a little firmer but if it works in the delivery it's fine.

Benetti is the alpha fanboy.

Hahahaha DJ. He has some power in that bat. Don't ya think. No. Hahahahaha

It's a damn shame Reid Detmers wasn't available.

Dude. Is. A. Monster.

This is freakin awesome. Dude is knees and elboes.

Hang em and bang em.

I agree. Plenty of deals just sitting there.

Nope but it's ok. He wouldn't be here if Hahn acquired a starter at the deadline.

Ooooow I like that big curveball.

The lil guy just got worked over.

Seen it. No Heard about it. Yes

Steiver obviously isn't ready to be a big league pitcher. He wouldn't be here in a normal season but this isn't a normal season so hopefully this unusual experience helps him become a better pitcher down the road. I think it will.

I'm still skeptical. I'm worried about the lag time between the end of the HS/college season and the draft. What are the players going to do during that time? The top guys won't play in summer leagues for fear of injury and we could see how uncomfortable teams were with drafting guys that didn't play or played little during this last draft. Too many radical changes at once for my liking.

You're talking about an extremely small percentage of players.

They've started that with the summer PDP league. There were rumors a couple years ago MLB was trying to buy Perfect Game but those have died down. I think they're going to do moreleagues now that they moved the draft date to threw a wrench in the summer circuit. It's going to be interesting.

Still not ready to have this discussion but we're getting closer.

Docked for what? Herein lies the problem. Parents thinking little Johnny has a future in baseball. Well I have bad news. The odds are overwhelming he doesn't so stop paying these exorbitant fees for travel teams and private lessons for absolutely nothing. There are plenty of small towm leagues for kids to play and have fun and if little Johnny really is good he'll be found. Parents have to stop feeding the machine.

Sure so that travel team can collect year round fees and keep them from playing other sports. Kids don't have to play for the best travel teams. They just have to play.
