This is a great story about the kid we drafted in the 6th round, Chase Lee, AKA The Viper.

'The Viper': Lee's unusual path to MLB Draft

When Chase Lee first stepped on the University of Alabama’s campus, the goal was simply to graduate. Baseball wasn’t in the equation. Lee didn’t have any offers out of high school, and the Crimson Tide wasn’t exactly looking for his services. That was then. That was before the failed tryout,

Also, I think there is a 10% chance that Lyles gets traded.

10% could almost apply to anyone.
Actually I hope he does. We have to spend money somewhere to get pcs we need and pitching is one area. Lyles has no future imo.

With all the young pitchers in our system, likely one or two will develop nicely and Leiter just adds to what we need in our rotation. I believe we are getting there and time to make room is getting close for new blood.

"Off the cuff, the 2022 class looks much, much healthier in terms of college bats. It’s also loaded with high octane prep arms. As it stands today, it might be a lighter year on the college pitching side, but there’s a ton of time between now and next July for guys to really pop and take enormous leaps forward."

An Exercise in Futility: A 2022 Mock Draft — Prospects Live

With the 2021 MLB Draft in the rearview mirror, we turn to the page to the 2022 MLB Draft. In this outrageous attempt at forecasting next July, several names stuck out as potential Top 10 picks. These are what we landed on in this outlandish exercise that will almost certainly be completely useless

Sam Huff hit a 495ft. HR in Frisco this evening. Tepid said he has watched about 600 games in Frisco, and he has never seen one hit where Huff hit it.

Good breakdown. I hope we are able to give some auditions late this season to those who are on the edge
