hi8is Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I wonder if the lack of playing time in the minors until next year is modifying any of the teams strategy, specifically when discussing pitching vs position players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't be doing their jobs if they haven't at least researched it. My personal intrigue is with the effect on pitchers with taking so much time off. Will it save their arms or hurt them?

I would hope with the knowledge that we would have a shortened spring training, that everyone is already working into game shape, even fringe guys who might be called on if the guys in front of them get hurt.

Well that is relating to 40 man roster types... where as my consideration is upon draft options who will have a longer than usually layoff from game activity.

I assume that's the case now, but who knows how many of these guys lacked any place to practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when the draft is such a crapshoot people try narrow it down somehow. Everyone wants BPA, the question is who that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your decision process is the athlete valued more than the current results, is the HS player more than the collegiate player? The philosophy of where to put more value on one all of time as opposed to setting a value for each independent player is the dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly Cotto, Horvath and Baulmer. What's the knock on Horvath though? Contact issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Horvath broke his leg as a sophmore playing football and lost a step and a year of development. He's extremely physical and athletic. He probably won't stay at SS but projects to have above avg power which will play at 3B or RF. I really like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His report is pretty glowing too. Quote Mac Horvath IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla.SS Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: North Carolina Age At Draft: 18.9 Expected to be the top prep bat in Minnesota, Horvath transferred to Bradenton, Fla.’s IMG Academy for his senior season, which was then quickly cut short. He missed time early last summer with appendicitis, then had an uneven summer when he returned. Horvath has above-average bat speed, plus speed and a plus arm (he’s touched 91-92 mph off the mound). He might slide to third base because he’s a little stiff at shortstop. A North Carolina signee, Horvath needs to refine his approach and make more consistent contact, but he has pro tools.

I think they'll take Detmers if he's available but Abel is a realistic option. He'll be expensive though. ..... this pleases me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 While watching Reid Detmers highlights just now, the comp that immediately came to mind was basically Jose Quintana with a better curveball. Anyone who has paid a lot more attention to Detmers than my YouTube scouting think that's fair or way off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
