Not surprising. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2021-in-season-prospect-list/farm-ranking?sort=-1,1&type=100&filter=&pos=&team= I feel a lot better about our future here seeing the number of lower level kids off to good runs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backwash07 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I’d prefer to take bednar or wicks if they fall in first round, then go high school hitter with upside in round two. If all the high end college starters are gone, then go high school hitters in first two rounds. Big night tomorrow to start rebuilding our prospects.

Strike thrower does it clean and easy. Decent breaking ball. Not the direction I would go. It's going to depend how the board plays out but I think this is who they end up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I think they’ll end up with Max Muncy. If they take a college pitcher, the scouting department got overruled. I know that much. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that much. Just saw your mock. I really would be happy here, though the only pick I’d dislike is Mack (of rumored guys, del Castillo would make me gag). I haven’t done any research, but gut feeling is some of the best picks have been grabbing those “all around good but no standout skill” prep shortstops in the twenties. I still like Gavin Williams too. 1a is still Montgomery for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muncy is a Boras guy so that’s an important note in regards to money at that slot. I’ve heard Gavin Williams medicals are questionable. Doubling up on preps makes most sense to me. There’s lots of college talent to be had later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s lots of college talent to be had later on. Sad on Williams but good stuff. Funny on Jobe. It was so clear in Feb that guy had a writeup much stronger than anyone else in the 20s/30s. Low and behold he’s now rumored a possibility at 3 to the Mets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 A safe college pitcher would suck so fucking much and make me question what in the hell we’re doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember how this board turned against the safe Detmers, he found velocity in a pro program and is now striking out 17 batters per 9 in AA. McGreevey isn’t Kyle McCullough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGreevey isn’t Kyle McCullough That’s fair, although didn’t Detmers have significantly better results in college? Either way, I still think a prep SS makes so much more sense given where our system is at now and how teams currently value prospects. If the right college arm slipped I wouldn’t be against taking him at 22, but my understanding is this draft is super deep in prep SS’s and if we could somehow double-up with two of them in rounds 1 & 2 I think that’s a total coup for a system in desperate need of young up-the-middle talent.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 First time I’ve thought about the draft all season. It’s nice having a season where the thing you’re looking forward to the most isn’t the draft. #rebuildingseasons #nonrebuildbutshittyseasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
