Thanks Ackar. Perfectly summed up.Mr.Ackar07 said:Aschenbeck and Chestnut were for JC exemptions. Schott was for the Ivy League 2021 season when the Ivy League decided to mask up and not play for another year; I believe he was a red shirt in JC. Appel apparently did not apply for his.trouble said:
I think all 3 were for JC. Schott went to JC before Columbia.

Who thought that?
If I'm playing devel's advocate, the reason Cag fell is likely because of his 44% chase rate on pitches outside of the zone. That's something that can be corrected, but it's an ugly stat.Agmaniacmike12 said:
This was easily one of the best baseball drafts for college players, so many studs. But I have a tough time believing that there are 5 better players than Cags. He hits for contact and power. Walks a ton, rarely strikes out. Possesses a huge frame but can get down the 1st base line in a hurry. Already has Gold Glove caliber defense at 1st.
Some of the guys that went ahead of him were very productive, but they weren't carrying their teams like Cags did. He continued to produce when the lights shined brightest, clearly a winner. Royals have to be thrilled with the way things fell for them.

The rational for chase rate was that he wasn't getting much to swing at because teams pitched around him.The Marksman said:If I'm playing devel's advocate, the reason Cag fell is likely because of his 44% chase rate on pitches outside of the zone.

Let's hope our guys hear the decision on their waivers before then.Mr.Ackar07 said:August 1st at 4pm CentralDatTallArchitect said:

Lets hope we do too. Another lights out pitching season for him with most of the old crew still in place would likely increase his draft stock next draft.ensign_beedrill said:Let's hope our guys hear the decision on their waivers before then.Mr.Ackar07 said:August 1st at 4pm CentralDatTallArchitect said:
