Harold's Leg Lift

I like my odds better.

Last year was there a Fry = Thornton 2.0 thread? Relievers are volatile.

Yep. All we can do is hope the O's do something stupid.

That is a fantastic article. Thank you for sharing.

Yes I think the hit skills are there they just need to be developed. He may be a two year guy on the complex but when they do send him out he should move at a good pace. Dude's got crazy raw power.

It really depends on how the hitter is swinging and missing. If he's missing pitches in the strike zone that's a big problem because it shows a lack of hand eye coordination or bat speed. If he's swinging at missing at pitches out of the strike zone it could be because of a lack of pitch recognition which can be improved with reps. Adell and Witt's swing and miss was greatly exaggerated. Unfortunately I don't think this is the case with Hinds. He's gonna need lots of reps.

According to the twitter machine the Sox had Rece Hinds at their workout today.

The Cubs drafted Kyle Schwarber and Jacob Hannaman. I'm sure there are others. I'd have to look up the Astros but I'm sure they have some too. News flash. Athletes play multiple sports. Who drafted Kyler Murray and Jordyn Adams last year?

Most likely JJ Bleday or Riley Greene. Perhaps Hunter Bishop.

So does every single talent evaluator in baseball......

The Twins signed CJ Cron off the scrap heap and he's hitting .271/.337/.536. He cost nothing to acquire. How much better does Vaughn have to hit to justify the pick at 1-3. Even the most inept FO should easily be able to find a 1B who can be league avg.

Ding! Ding!

It's on a Monday this year. It's usually on a Fri or Sat. At least the Cubs are out of town. Last year was a freakin zoo.

If you live in the Chicago area you should really go to the Under Armour All American game at Wrigley Field. You can see all these guys for yourself and compare what you saw to these writeups. This years game is July 22nd.

True but if they get enough cracks at it they may actually have one that works out!

These ass clowns may actually stumble fuck themselves into the best player in the draft. Unbelievable

As of a week ago he has hit 13 balls with an exit velocity over 95 mph. That falls in the lowest 5% of all minor leaguers.

You can get into a lot of trouble doing that. Tools first.

Two very different players. Turang has a vey projectable body but didn't fill out as quickly as some would have liked (much like Cody Bellinger). Turang's going to get bigger and stronger and he will drive the ball. He's going to ba an all time miss. Madrigal on the other hand has no projection to him. None. He is what he is.

I just want them to get the best player at 1-3. I don't care about slot value, position or timeline. Don't overthink it though that shouldn't be an issue with these ass clowns. Just draft a fucking stud.

He's not real physical, maxxx effort del, long arm action, below avg command. He's got crazy arm strength but not much else to go with it. He'll be a lottery ticket for someone.

Agreed, Unlike last year there isn't a player they can draft that would make my blood boil.

?

Their drafting philosophy sucks.
