Another Luciano-style bust in the making I think

apples and pineapples I think.

Luci was supposed to be a LOCK; Tibbs is just a nice prospect.

Different pedigrees.

A nice prospect doesn't turn into Aaron Judge. And I don't even think Tibbs will be a legit MLer

Keep your eye on James Tibbs III

With my recent track record, let me guarantee he becomes the next Barry Bonds…

I do not like him as a first rounder. He reminds me of Joc Pederson both in physical appearance and in the game he plays. We were picking at 14, granted, and there weren’t any sure-fire future HOFer left on the board at that spot. But to take a kid who ALREADY projects as a DH at his age is not a guy I am going to like.

Isn’t that the path Judge himself took? He was the #32 pick in the ‘13 draft. Tibbs was the #14 pick in ‘24.

Bryce looks like a DH too for whatever that’s worth

I honestly had no idea just don’t see future Aaron Judge for either of them

Sure if we get lucky and draft a guy like that it can only help. Just saying that’s not how we win titles. Pitching, defense, and good enough hitting
