The prep guys have nowhere to play this year so they’ll be hanging out in Arizona. On 7/9/2024 at 2:27 PM, Squirmin' for Yermin said: Love your work. Fine by me if we go pitching is rounds 2-3 if they are HS or big fallers.. If this is what happens, I wouldn't love 4/6 pitchers, but do like the Hurd pick later. Expand The issue is that you can’t create players who don’t exist. I just don’t love taking college bats in rounds 3-6 or so and HS bats are expensive and it’s a weak class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that Chris Getz valued defense. Also, if you're drafting Cags, you're drafting the bat. Just put him at 1B and hope he mashes. Expand I personally think for once this is a short sighted view by scouts. The guy is a decent athlete with a cannon who has spent a lot of time honing 2 crafts - pitching and hitting. If he isn't pitching in the minors - than allowing a good athlete to invest the time to become a corner outfielder, in my opinion, is 100% worth it. If it doesn't work in the minors - fine, than adjust - but I think if I were to draft him - I'd do it thinking his bat is absolutely plus plus, but also at least throwing some chips out there that I'll let him learn the outfield (this isn't like a Vaughn who had basically zero plus outfield tools, heck, zero break-even outfield tools). The other way you draft him - is you love his bat and in that case, why not see if he can develop as well into a premium relief type prospect (but use him in a select manner - so you know he's only going 2-3 times per week). As I think the Shoehei rule gives some protection to him to stay at DH once he comes out (but I may be wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
