Dodgers take Bo Lawrance, they always just take the talent that slides to them and make out like bandits

Taking the guy comped to Freeman while having the lowest pool space. wtf

Robbins and Strosnider falling hard

I consistently find myself liking what the Rockies are doing these days and I know they have a new FO but it still scares the horsefeathers out of me

So mad poor Logan has to pitch a mile high.

What are we hoping for here?

Guardians are killing me

I'm well beyond hoping for a name. 

Give me an upside play. All I ask. There's like 40 players I'd probably be happy with. 

[Jason Ross]

That said, Carson Jasa is someone I'd be excited about if you want a name of those upside that I like. We'll see if they go that way.

[Tryptamine]

Like it quite a lot, they went after a guy who slipped and so worth it

[Jason Ross]

Oh. Another Cade(n). How original.

[Bertz]

I preferred Strosnider but Sorrell's still a gift at 62

His name came up as a possible underslot at 23. I'm down.

[Tryptamine]

Swing and miss is an issue but he does everything else very well

[JBears79]

Whats the rundown on him? Havent paid much attention to the draft board this year

Lefty, big power. Has chase/swing and miss issues. They have gotten better but there's some concerns. Could stick in CF.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

If the Brewers pass on Stro he must be taking an NIL deal

Not to mention lots of speed

[Tryptamine]

Strosnider to the Brewers, god they're good at talent evaluation.

Sounds like a good pick, anyway. So far I like the two guys they took.

Of course this happened.

They drafted 2 hall of famers today that are going to torture us for 20 years 

[Jason Ross]

Sorrel and Strosnuider are very similar. They both have big power, questionable chase. Logenhagen had them rated 59 and 60th. 

I think I prefer Sorrell a smidge. But they're very much cut from the same cloth.
