    Why? How many BP arms do we need? Don't we have Cousins and Topa coming back soon too?
  2. beekay414
    Which is entirely my point ha. We don't know who any of these dudes are behind closed doors. Thus using someone who's transgressions are known as sole reasoning to not root for the team makes no reasonable sense.

    Wisconsin sports fans cheered for Darren Sharper for years, I think they can manage Matt Bush for a few. At least we know Bush's demons.

    A 36 year old reliever with a spotty track record should not cost Antoine Kelly. Kelly's control is volatile but he's got high leverage reliever ability down the line if starting doesn't work. Not the type of flier you give up for a Matt Bush.

    Feel like Patricio Aquino is going to skyrocket up these lists in time. Really like what he has to work with at 19 years old. Of course, we need to see him in affiliated ball outside of the complex league but the kid's got swing and miss stuff.

    Another BB over K guy.
  8. beekay414
    Meh, throwaway senior sign pick. Obviously can't expect MLB upside with every pick but I'd avoid drafting pitchers from the Horizon League like the plague.
  9. beekay414
    I know. Their career K/BB rates though are basically 1/1 thus why I said both. Eric Brown 2022 - 28 K, 39 BB Career - 75 K, 81 BB Robert Moore 2022 - 46 K, 42 BB Career - 112 K, 91 BB Matt Wood 2022 - 26 K, 36 BB Career - 63 K, 62 BB Ben Metzinger 2022 - 45 K, 51 BB Career - 66 K, 65 BB
  10. beekay414
    Possibly. We'll see. They've definitely been trying to draft guys that either walk more than they K or have about a 1/1 K/BB ratio.
  11. beekay414
    Sure but that's why it's more leaned on for tools and projections. Lot of IFA guys bomb because of it but I see what they are doing for the most part.

    Like that profile for 3B.

    If we had shown any ability to develop power with these types, I'd be more comfortable with taking them. We simply haven't shown that we can develop power any more than we showed we couldn't develop contact. We've pretty much solely been drafting contact+speed so it feels like we plan on playing 80s baseball more than modern day. They probably feel like they can pay for cheap power on the market. I see what they are doing but, man, it hinders my excitement.
  14. beekay414
    He's got raw power but his in-game power is hindered by his flat swing. He's pretty much on top of everything. Just look at his career groundball rates (hint, he gets less lift on contact than Turang).
  15. beekay414
    There is no power upside with Mitchell unless we change his bat path. He might luck into a 20 HR season hitting wall scrapers but his bat path is allergic to HRs.
  16. beekay414
    I understand how development works. I have no problem taking contact orientated guys since we're absolutely putrid at developing contact. I do, however, have a problem with only taking contact orientated guys. You can overcorrect in a single draft class, fine, but, at some point, you've got to balance your system. This is just reacting to our inability to develop bats so we feel the need to replenish the system with guys that can hit, regardless of power, because of it. They're predictable, now, at least. Contact through the draft and tools through IFA. LIS in a prior post, they probably think that the power will play up because of AmFam being so hitter friendly. My only issue is, we can say that you can develop power but we haven't shown it with these contact guys. None of Turang, Mitchell, Frelick or Black have hit for any semblance of power. Mitchell's got the highest career MiLB ISO of the bunch but, even then, he has 14 xbh in 258 ABs above A ball.
  17. beekay414
    Mind you, I have no problem with the individual picks. I hope nothing but the best for these kids both for their sake and our organization's sake. I'm just not a fan of the all contact+speed philosophy. Would like a blend of hitting, not just loaded up on one style. Maybe they'll use the international market to find the toolsy types, which I'm fine with, but, as I've stated before, I feel like this is just an overcorrection for the years of bombing on the development of 40/45 hit grade power types.

    I'll never argue with taking a catcher that can rake. Hope he can stick.
  20. beekay414
    Might wanna check where Burnes and Woody were drafted, my man.
  21. beekay414
    Just hope this kid can be our Nick Yorke.
  22. beekay414
    Welp, all my guys went off the board after we took the munchkin.
  23. beekay414
    Starting to think our scouts have a fetish for midgets
  24. beekay414
    He's 5'8" 140 according to Prep Baseball Report. Another contact guy.
