You can certainly dream on the bat. He has the best chance to be the highest impact player in the draft. If he's there it's a no brainer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can hit 30+ bombs from the left side that would be great, but all the value is in the bat. If he turns out not to be a monster masher due to chase or groundballs or whatever, then you've got nothing to show for the pick. High risk high reward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this org. certainly needs some impact. Can't blame him for Burger, Vaughn, etc. Just none of those pitchers with the first pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 For those smarter than me.. In regard to the 2025 DRAFT.. I know the earliest we will pick is 10th (maybe 11th depending on A's)... How does the pool money work in this situation? Assuming we have the worst record, do we still get the #1 pick draft money pool or is it the 10th pick money pool?? My understanding is that post round 1, we would have the first pick in each round. But is our pool gunna be tied to the 10th pick in the first? @Y2Jimmy0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we pick 10th, we get the 10th slot. I can't see them having pushed someone to the 10th pick, but still giving them the 1st slot money, otherwise it is kind of meaningless to push them down because they can just load up later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Giolito when drafted by Wash. Could be injured top #3-5 value pitcher with TJS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
