This was one of my guys...he could play 1st base..or 3rd..970..fld..so what is not ..to like..
100% agree regarding the last part.Well according to all “experts” there weren’t any college hitters left so that kind of sucks but hopefully these kids work out.
Also want to say this is the first draft I’ve watched and they have done a really good job of making it feel big, but wish they’d allow trades and quit the slotting and money pool stuff.
Everything I had read was that the college talent was all so good that a number of the HS players who would be available later on would go much higher most years.So with the 3 1st Round Picks we took guys that were:
1- All high school picks
2- 2 SS's & 1 OF
3- All 3 bat left and throw right.
Love it.
I know there will be a ton of counter arguments to what I'm about to say, but here me out:fuck.
this org can't develop talent.
all i want jerry to do is pick the best pitchers possible because they can yield better stuff in trades. for position players and hitters we're better off trying to acquire what real pro orgs develop.
I feel like these days it's going to be harder to sign HS prospects with the NIL in place. The amount of money LSU threw at some UW softball players was in the six figures. I don't have any source on that other than someone I know who is well connected to the UW athletics program told me this.
