Harold's Leg Lift

No chance. Palka is an atrocious baseball player.

I've never understood why this is considered a Kenny Williams thing. Every single team in baseball drafts multi-sport athletes. It's what scouts look for. I guess it gets hung on him because the Sox player development department is god awful and can't turn them into good players. Seems kinda silly when everyone in baseball is drafting the same players.

I would bet he shows good straight line speed (home to first) but plays a slow OF. Think Avi Garcia

Oregon RHP Kenyon Yovan is coming back this weekend from a hand injury. He'd be a nice 2nd round target. Arkansas LHP Matt Cronin is a hard throwing closer, He may be able to be stretched out as a starter. If not he could be a nice multi-inning reliever.

4-4 = He's the greatest! 0-4 = He's dead to me.

Performance scouting is fun. Remember when Vaughn and Misner were good. What a shame......

Ok it was more about his speed. Thank you. That makes more sense.

Did he really say that? A 40 arm won't stop him from playing CF. There are a lot of CF's with 40 arms. Mike Trout has a 40 arm. All teams care about is if he has range to go get the ball. Arm strength is almost irrelevant.

Disagree. Palka had a higher K rate than Moncada and for some reason people around here freakin love him.

Look at that swing. Kid's gonna be a freakin monster.

Moncada is an uninterested defender. He was bad at 2B and he's going to be bad at 3B. He's following the Alfonso Soriano career path. He'll be in LF in a year or two. They couldn't go another season with Yolmer at 3B so they're just buying time until they find an everyday 3B.

Hopefully he doesn't get his teeth knocked out before his inevitable move to LF.

His age doesn't scare me a whit. You can put him against 19, 20, 21, 22.... year olds and he's still going to be the best player on the field. Do you know why. Because he's really f'ing good at playing baseball.

I do really like those two but *Let The Record Show* I'm squarely on Team Jr (assuming they have no chance at Rutschman).

I don't understand the fascination with proximity to the majors. It's not a race. It's which player will have the best/most impactful career. In my opinion a 5 WAR player in 3-4 years is worth more than a 2 WAR player in 1-2 years.

I'm out on Misner. I don't like his swing. Bishop is really interesting but I still have Bleday ahead of him. Bleday has better feel to hit and has a longer track record.

They sure as hell were there he just couldn't see them.

I call him Not Jarred Kelenic.

Quinn Priester up to 95 in his first outing yesterday.

His teammates were not excited to greet him in the dugout. I wonder if he's an assbag.

Abrams is the fastest man on the face of the earth. Greene is pretty set in the top 10. I don't see him getting past the padres at 6.

Logan Wyatt come on down!!!!!

Arizona is going to be tough to deal with because they will have so much money to spend. It would be great if the Sox could push a guy like Quinn Priester to the 2nd round but Arizona has four picks before the Sox 2nd round selection. Even if the Sox are able to shave money off the 1st round pick Zona could grab him with one of those selections and still give him more money.

They might as they don't have an issue with guys who have a one piece arm action (Stiever). I just hope it's not in the 2nd.

No they don't. They have Eloy and Robert and a few potential league average players. No one else is a potential superstar and Robert is a long shot to ever reach his ceiling. They do have a chance to select one this June and I hope they don't mess it up again by selecting another league avg player. I disagree with the premise that any team is pleased selecting third.
