Damnit. O's go with Holliday.
Wtf
Hoping for Parada at this point, if Jones ain't there. Green just has bust all over him imo.

Parada is the safest pick in the draft imo.
I meant why do you think Green has bust written all over himgigem1223 said:PatAg said:Why?gigem1223 said:

Green struck out a lot in HS. Over 20% of his plate appearances his senior year, even more than that before. Seems like a major flaw to have to look past and hope he won't spend a massive amount of time burning a path back to the dugout when he has to face actual professionals
I feel the same thing... Could be great but seems like he will be a Bust.PatAg said:Why?gigem1223 said:

1.2 Drew Jones
Tied the low water mark of the season. Still only -1 on run differential. Well on our way toward a 6th consecutive season under .500.
1.1 Holliday
1.2 Jones
That seemed the case 1-2, 2-1...
Next 5 or so, IMO are a crap shoot. There is at least a couple busts coming.

I thought the article I linked made a lot of interesting points, regarding playing at IMG vs playing at a normal high school.DannyDuberstein said:

Either way, will be interesting to see where we go
Kumar Rocker
interesting...

I think I like that pick
Lmao wtf. Who called this pick? I know someone did a few pages back
No idea what to think.
I would just like to point out that I suggested this would happen, a couple of pages back.
Jimbo Franchione
Rocker and Leiter. Interesting.
Whats the chance he is MLB ready, or will he do the standard minor league route
He'll need to finish the season in the minors IMO. Maybe next season if he stays healthyPatAg said:

Imagine saying that 2 years ago
This was the wild card some speculated. Certainly focused on a need. I'd much rather have Rocker than Green
How has Leiter been doing in the minors, anways? I saw that he was ranekd high in the top 100 prospects list
If he's healthy....always a big "IF"....he's a top of the rotation talent.
Here was why I was thinking this might be the pick....this team needs pitching, and they need pitching that close to MLB ready. Rocker is the most MLB ready pitcher in the draft, with the highest upside. In a year where you don't have a 2nd or 3rd round pick, why not roll the dice.
Keep in mind the Rangers did a deep dive on both Rocker and Leiter last season. Both were scouted extensively, so there was a lot of familiarity there. That's why I thought it might happen.
Maybe I need to go to Vegas....

Started okay. Been struggling lately
I love this pick. If Rocker's medical is clean, that dude has a straight up power arm. I'd love to see a rotation in a couple years with Rocker, Leiter, and Owen White mowing dudes down.
Leiter had been pretty rough so far. Walking too many guys. His K rate is super high and the hits aren't outrageous. But he's gotta reel in the walks . 30 in 50 innings. But straight to AA is a big point to enter so I expected a slowish start
Leiter has electric stuff but is struggling with command. Nibbling too much maybe, adjusting to the professional strike zone. Nobody is worried about Leiter though.
Jimbo Franchione
Rocker's stats at Tri-City are impressive but he only has 20 innings so far.
With the players available, I'm happy with Rocker. High upside and a year ago we would've been thrilled with it. This team needs pitching the worst way and seems like the org is doing their best to address it.
If they could trade draft picks, I'd imagine they would have traded down to grab him later, but since that wasn't an option this makes sense.
