I'd feel better about that model if we had a player in our lineup that this model produced.
I agree with the pitching model, but we just threw away a 2nd rounder on Smith a few years ago.
He's a projected 1st rounder only because teams make huge mistakes. Bradfield doesn't belong in the 1st 2 rounds of this draft. He doesn't hit, at all.
I'm petrified we might take him, based on the rumors, even though he didn't fit what we look for.
People keep calling Shanuel a 1B only, but he likely ends up a corner OF. I wouldn't worry too much about his poor performance in the cape code league. He was outstanding in a wood bat league the summer before.
I hope we land our yearly JuCo pitching steal. Avoid catchers in the top 5 rounds. Concentrate on position players early (except for JuCo pitching robbery).
He has a 1,066 OPS in May, will hit AA any day now, and could still still be playing his college junior season. The Ks will fall once he gains experience against advanced pitching. It's amazing he can even survive against these pitchers with only 1 year of college starting experience.
Agree that Shanuel is very tantalizing, best hitter available (to us), and that 72 walks to 14 strikeouts is fun too.
They absolutely need to start drafting some actual hitters, especially after blowing it by passing on Max Wagner last year.
No, he's one of the worst hitters on the team. We have 9 hitters with a higher OPS, and that doesn't include Hiura, who outpaces Cutch by 89 points.
He's not good, and hasn't been for years.

After the Brewers get Bell, we should move on from McCutchen. Attanasio will need to be shown why Cutch sucks, but it's the best thing for the versatility of the roster.

Ramon is also a low average/OBA guy, but not as good defensively in CF as Taylor.
I don't care what type of hitter we acquire, as long as they're productive. More ground outs is not a priority for me
