    Conforto is very Nick Swisher to me. If you land a big name in the 2nd round I'm completely fine with him in the 1st.
  2. Tryptamine
    They keep pushing Gatewood...
  3. Tryptamine
    Schwarber to COL would be such a great pick. That man could be a monster there.
  4. Tryptamine
    Dare to dream, Aiken at 4 is absolute best case scenario for me.
  5. Tryptamine
    I'm surprised Gatewood would go to the draft. I think there's a very real chance he doesn't get taken in the 1st. I've heard some really bad things about his bat in game situations.

    If Rodon gets past the Astros and Marlins I wonder if he slides all the way to the Blue Jays

    The haul would have to be enormous and near major league ready for me not to be pissed off. Even Kyle was kidding there. Too hard to tell. Half the time I think the doom bonering is a joke, but it turns out it's not.

    Marlin-

    If Theoyer is nearly certain that Schwarber can stick as a COF then he easily becomes my favorite underslot option. College bat with a giant ceiling, yes please.

    Adding guys like Rosscup/Rivera/Vizcaino is going to make the BP absolutely ridiculous next year. Can't help but feel bad for Parker though.
  12. Tryptamine
    Also, apparently his Ks were down because he was asked to pitch to contact and induce grounders. I really want Butler.
  13. Tryptamine
    CJ projects as a #4? This is news to me. There are a lot more who say he can be #2 than a #4.
  14. Tryptamine
    It was definitely Harold. He said that Appel was going to be in that Astro's rotation as soon as July or August of last year. They're also really good at comping people to only other player's with the same skin color even if the comp doesn't make any sense.
  15. Tryptamine
    Marlin So it looks like unless one of Aiken or Rodon slip, we're going under slot.
  16. Tryptamine
    I'm looking forward to the first player who tells his coach to go screw himself when he asks him to pitch on 2 days rest.
  17. Tryptamine
    It really is unfortunate that he has a very minimal chance of sticking in the OF. His bat has the type of upside I would OK with as a COF.
  18. Tryptamine
    I may be way off base but this made my heart sink a little, because I was hoping for at least one guy who could start or play in the OF or C next season. This makes me re-rethink when they plan on being competitive. Am I wrong? I don't see why getting a pick would be any different than getting a high ceiling, high risk minor leaguer as part of a deal, they just have more control over who that guy is. I don't see it as having any relevance to when they're going to be competitive one way or the other. Maybe a year or two's difference in regards to impact on the big league club? We would be trading our ace, so I was hoping that in return we would get someone starting next season who could begin to fill that void, or at least filling the OF void. It's not like the pick is going to be the primary piece. It would likely be the tertiary piece in the deal so it doesn't really matter affect the time line at all.

    Welcome. According to Marlin it's looking like Aiken/Rodon or underslot right now. At least that's what I got out of his latest message.
  20. Tryptamine
    I've managed to sell myself on Pentecost, but I don't know if I could do the same thing on Conforto. If it's not a premium position I need more upside in the bat than that. edit: This draft absolutely sucks.
  21. Tryptamine
    What is Singleton's appeal? He seems to be extremely similar to his predecessor Chris Carter. I mean I guess I could see the guy putting up a Nick Swisher line, but I'd expect more from a guy people consider to be the best 1B prospect in the game.
  22. Tryptamine
    Gordon doesn't need the swing overhaul Turner does. And Gordon has a better arm and sounds like the better defender. I really hope the Lindor comp is legit because I love him as a prospect, but it's really scary taking a guy at 4 whose bat upside is fairly minimal.
  23. Tryptamine
    Sounds like the high school version of Trea Turner....
  24. Tryptamine
    lol wtf I know it's a stupid notion and one start should have zero effect on his trade value, but giving the other GMs anything to point at is a bad idea.
  25. Tryptamine
    Yeah just keep the trade piece out there to get lit up, brilliant managing.
