    Mo Baller needs to be in the majors. I don’t care. The bat is legit and can help us right now. Can provide a spark to this team before it’s too late. I have zero clue how bad he is defensively, but it can’t be that much worse than when Amaya is out there. He can primarily DH. Whatever. Counsell will figure that part out.

    I dug into Dakota Jordan a little bit this morning. Being from MS, I know some people close to him. He wants big money and teams aren’t willing to give it to him. He’s threatening a return to college now. He really struggled against SEC pitching striking out 37% of the time and only 11 xbh. Likely will have to move to a corner spot also. I kind of advocated for him last night, but I really haven’t dug into much past his final stat line, which can obviously fool you. I’m around a lot of MSU fans and they hype him up, but after a closer look, his profile is pretty meh against SEC pitching. Then his asking price is outrageous. I’ll be interested to see if he backs off his price today or returns to college.

    Mathis did rake in the cape last summer

    I guess not taking a power conference bat there was more of a money deal? Some good P5 bats still on the board.
  5. JD94
    You also still have Billy Amick still on the board and Luke Holman the LSU ace

    Any chance we can land Dakota Jordan with our next pick? Has some swing and miss, but very athletic and big power. I believe the reports are he should stick in CF? Another SEC player which is a plus.

    Not sure how he would do that. The deadline to enter the transfer portal in college baseball has closed. I mean there doesn’t seem to be rules in college athletics right now, but technically if you enter the portal after the deadline, you’d have to sit out a year. I don’t think this is correct.

    Love that pick from the O’s all things considered. Great fit for both sides
  9. JD94
    And I think he can stick at 3rd and play it well

    I’m just glad it’s not Malcom Moore. I like this pick
  11. JD94
    Well that leaves us with Smith or Tibbs still. I’m good with either
  12. JD94
    Welp so much for the Red Sox taking Cam Smith lol
  13. JD94
    Man I’m good with Tibbs or Montgomery. Would obviously prefer BM, but please don’t screw this up Cubs
  14. JD94
    I hope you are too. I’d be cutting a huge deal for Braden Montgomery right now
  15. JD94
    Well, we will know here very shortly lol
  16. JD94
    I like Cam Smith more than all those guys except Montgomery
  17. JD94
    There it is. As I just posted, that ensures one of Montgomery, C Smith, Tibbs, Yesavage is there at 14
  18. JD94
    4 picks left before us and Montgomery, Tibbs, C Smith, Yesavage are all still on the board. I’d be happy with any of the 4. Just need one surprise to to ensure one of them is there at 14.

    Congrats to Konnor. I hate that he’s going to a division rival, but he’s a fantastic kid from a great family. He’s a very humble kid. Best player we’ve seen come through MS in a long time.
  20. JD94
    Won’t happen, but it would be pretty sweet
  21. JD94
    Hagen Smith ran out of gas at the end of the year and wasn’t very good his last few starts. There’s also command concerns with him. I watched him a few times this year just not have any command at all. Still enormous upside
  22. JD94
    Wow again. I thought White Sox were going Caglianone there.
  23. JD94
    Didn’t have Burns going #2
  24. JD94
    This is true. I don’t know, I’m just not a big fan of him with our first pick. Like I said, he doesn’t seem to have a single plus tool. I like all the Cam Smith projections coming in though.
  25. JD94
    Sigh : / I guess my Malcom Moore rant got deleted with the other post. I’m not retyping all of it. The moral of my post was I’d be very disappointed if he’s our pick. I understand the underlying data and batted ball data and he interviewed well, which I guess is cool? To only hit .250 in the 4th best P5 conference is hard to do for good hitters. We’ve also found ourselves caught up in the underlying numbers for Christopher Morel. At some point, you have to produce or those numbers don’t mean anything. He also may not even stick at catcher. He really doesn’t have any single tool that you can point to and say “I know that’s a plus tool that will translate even if nothing else does.” It’s my opinion and I’ve seen the counter arguments and I don’t feel like getting in a back and forth. I’m far from an expert, so my opinion will buy you a cup of coffee next time you’re at McDonald’s.
