The fact that he is 5th in the Power Rankings shows what an uphill battle he has to garnish enough votes. That is the worst part about the new system that awards extra draft picks to award winners in certain categories. The media cannot be trusted to be unbiased.
I was not aware the draft pick was media driven.
Corbin C is a freak runner and the media darling

Hickory had 5 stolen bases in one inning, but only scored 1 run.

The media votes for the awards they use to determine which teams get the extra draft picks.

I think if a player is on the Opening Day roster and then wins ROY, the team gets a bonus draft pick.
Yeah, and if he wins a MVP, I believe the first couple of years, they award a draft pick.

I would imagine that the Rangers will go with 4 starting pitchers until a week from now. I guess if Bradford gets replaced in his scheduled start tonight that would tell us something, but I doubt that happens.

I guess it could come down to if they need Dunning this coming weekend out of the bullpen.

I wonder if Bradford is pitching for a promotion tonight?

Cody Bradford is not going to pitch tonight... due to a rain out.

Another reason for us to love Bochy. What a breath of fresh air. I’ve only wanted a manager like this for 15+ years.

He “never ever quit” writing odor’s name on the lineup card and running it out to the umpire, even while odor was sporting numbers that made him a double A quality player and leading the league in errors for a second baseman.
