I think both are true at this point. There's depth in the college ranks, but this isn't like past years where we're likely to see a guy go wire-to-wire as the favorite to be the #1 overall pick, or with a group of HS players who have been followed under a microscope since Little League (2022). As I stated elsewhere, this seems like the sort of draft where the combined career MLB WAR for picks 11-20 ends up being higher than picks 1-10. That being said, while the HS guys are a bit underwhelming at the moment, there is a decent amount of potential in that group and we're still early in the season. This could be the sort of year where we see a bunch of pop-up guys from cold weather high schools show up in the first 100 picks. -
This is going to be one of those games where, six months from now, you look back at the lineup and are shocked at how much has changed since then. It's like looking back on the 2015 team and seeing starting lineups with Mike Olt at 3B and Starlin Castro at SS in April.

A's to Sacramento, then maybe Vegas?

A's to Sacramento for 2025 - ? Thread title updated. -
I have zero interest in trading for 2025 picks with teams likely to make the playoffs next year.

Credit where it's due! That game wouldn't have been played roughly a decade ago before they completely overhauled the drainage.
-
You've been here nearly 20 years. You know how we do.
-
Good win. Let us never speak of it again.
-
Makes it into a two base error, sure.
-
Outs, please.

It's why I think Horton and Brown end up in the pen this year. Yeah, you can sometimes find a gem among reclamation projects, but when most of your pen is reclamation projects, woof.
-
You had a quick game of it, too!

Pft. Amateur. Try being a grognard with no shelf space left for new war games. Still kicking myself over missing the latest GMT COIN release.

I just don't see how they get this one in, even if the weather clears up. The field is going to be a complete mess since it's been snowing and raining all day, and the warning track is going to be a minefield for the unwary.

You should be fine! The snow isn't sticking. ...yet.

Last year was stacked thanks in part to COVID mucking everything up in 2020. I don't think we'll see a draft like that again for a long, long while. This year feels decidedly muddled, like I wouldn't be surprised if the combined career MLB WAR of picks 11-20 ends up higher than picks 1-10.

Funny thing is, there's been intermittent sunshine downtown throughout the day despite all of the doom bonering going into the week.

What about Southern Indiana? Northeastern Wisconsin??? WHAT ABOUT CENTRAL IOWA???? OH GOD PLEASE TELL US!!!!

White Sox Season in Jeopardy

When I thought the Cubs were going to win that trade, this isn't how imagined it playing out. -
Awesome to see this implemented! Here's hoping it provides a valuable resource once the weather heats up.
-
Probably banking on a rainout or two over the coming week.
-
You know it's a slow news day when you're browsing thinkpieces and articles on Jayden Daniels' weirdass elbow.
-
I'm really trying not to buy too deep into the hype and I know it's way early, but this draft is starting to give me 2004 vibes from a talent perspective. If that's the case, then I reeeeeeally hope they don't trade out of 9.

JJ McCarthy, now there's a haircut you can set your watch to!

Ben Brown and Cade Horton both end the season in the Cubs' bullpen, with Brown handling closing duties and Horton handling long relief outings to give the rotation a breather in August/September. Javier Assad finishes the season in the Cubs' rotation, and most everyone's okay with it. Dansby Swanson makes his third ASG in a row. Matt Shaw gets a midseason callup and becomes the everyday 3B. The Cubs lock up the NL Central by mid-September. The Cubs make the NLCS, but fall short to the Dodgers in 6 games.
