Episcope seems like a Woodward type pick. Buying the stuff despite the injury risk. Had TJ as a senior in high school then internal brace surgery this year so double elbow surgery guy already
We just don't know as much at the time. At the time Payne seemed like a huge reach but he clearly wasn't a reach now and we also know the Dodgers were on him if he fell to 23 so we wouldn't have had another chance to get him.
Losing the pick still sucks a bit and at the time I thought we gave up more than Priester was worth, but if Boston offered the same package back to us for Priester today, I wouldn’t take it.
Yeah I was going to say the same but you beat me. Injuries will probably take care of itself. Plus it feels like it's pretty easy to manage too many pitchers with things like piggy backs.
Yeah I was thinking we are somewhere around $1M underslot through 2 picks with Fischer around $750K and Ebel around $250K under slot though with Ebel I really have no clue.
Yeah it doesn't seem like anybody knows what we are going to do based on the mocks and frankly with how off the mocks have been through 8 picks, they might just have no clue with this draft.
Crazy that Hernandez is almost 4 months older than Ethan Dorchies who has 43.1 professional IP and currently is rocking a 1.66 ERA with a 32% K-rate in A ball.
