  1. Interesting. Looks like he has them passing on Wetherholt in that mock. No longer an option? Or do they just have Jac higher you think?
  2. The Maldy trade at the deadline is going to bring a HUGE return.
  3. Fantastic bounceback after that first inning for Fedde. Gamer.
  4. Some cliff notes from this as I watch/listen. - Keith reiterates how bad of a draft class this is. Especially compared to last year's. Carlos says it's the worst he's covered. - Law really likes Condon. Comps him to Kris Bryant. - Carlos says BA would have Cags ranked lower then the industry due to the chase rate. Notes he would be a 3rd round talent as a pitcher. Says the defensive profile is polarizing. - Law says Cags power is unmatched in this class and that he should abandon pitching entirely. Says he would try him in RF with the 80 arm, and if it doesn't work move him back to 1B. Also notes the approach really needs to change on the chase rate. - Law has Burns/Smith neck and neck with Smith lower due to the previous TJ surgery. - Law is the high guy on Braden Montgomery. Carlos is worried about the contact skills. Thinks teams might abandon the switch hitting. - They all agree that after the top 10, the first round is going to be chaos due to the fall off in talent. - Someone asks why Kurtz has been falling. Carlos gets into how risky the 1B profile is. Mentions Jacob Berry, Andrew Vaughn etc. - Keith Law loves Ben Hess. Thinks he should be a 1st rounder. Surprised he's not ranked higher by others. - They all think Brecht will go in the first round. The stuff is ridiculous but the walk rate is still super scary. Probably a late 1st round guy. They mention the Dodgers picking him and having him fixed up in a hurry. (of course) - Asked about first player to the majors from the class. Mentions Kurtz, Yesavage, Chase Burns, Hagen Smith, Tibbs. - On comps: Bryce Rainer = Corey Seager. Konnor Griffin = Jo Adell. Bryce Rainer = Brice Turang. They all reiterate that they hate comps though.
  5. BA draft roundtable coming up with Keith Law and Shooter Hunt. Should be a fun listen.
  6. Fedde with a second incredible catch today.
  7. Cost is a big deal because it gives you flexibility in how you spend your allotment. Save a million on your 1st round pick? Maybe you can now afford to push a better player down the board to spend that savings on with a later pick.
  8. Fletcher has 2 singles today and made a fantastic diving catch in CF. Nastrini is also looking solid thus far. Me posting this will probably mean the wheels are about to fall off.
  9. Kiley has a bull/bear case for the draft prospects in his rankings from yesterday. He does mention the bull case for Jac including "real defensive value at either RF or 1B." I would feel a lot better about the selection if that was a consensus.
  10. Wetherholt, Griffin, Cags, in that order. If there was a consensus that Caglianone could provide some sort of defensive value in a corner OF spot, the calculus changes for me. But if he's 1B only I think I'd even prefer Braden Montgomery to him.
  11. Just catching up. That 10 pitch at bat Colson had was fantastic. The result.
  12. I'm just going to assume that if Bazzana falls, the Sox snap him up. Same with Condon.
  13. I really feel like the Phillies are perfect trade partners. Ballsy GM. Three different top 50 up the middle position players down on the farm. It makes too much sense.
  14. Kiley posted his final top 50. It says insider but is working for me as a non sub. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/40520082/2024-mlb-draft-rankings-30-top-250-prospects-final-condon-bazzana-caglianone
  15. Thanks Jimmy. Oakie is a guy I've wanted since early on. Would be stoked.
  16. Big George on the hot sheet again. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/ranking-the-20-hottest-mlb-prospects-hot-sheet-7-9-24/
  17. Here's the Law writeups on the 3 guys we seem to be talking about the most. Jac, Griffin, Wetherholt. He has Wetherholt 3rd, Jac 8th, and Griffin 10th.
  18. Wow. Law has Kurtz ahead of Jac.
  19. Pham was removed from today's initial lineup. We hugwatchin today?
