If he is still on the board... LHP Garrett Crochet
ReplyDeleteI favor Crochet too.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the team will be thin on pitching going forward, they're always thin on offense. I would opt for Heston Kjerstad for the outfield as the entire minor league system is pretty barren in that spot.
ReplyDeleteHigh-90s fastball, wipeout slider, 6-8, LHP, I'd like them to get Luke Little, San Jacinto (Texas) College but he probably won't be there at 19.
ReplyDeleteJohn, wasn’t Luke Little the 105 MPH guy?
ReplyDeleteTom
ReplyDeleteYes he was
If we draft Crochet, that would make for a good yarn!
ReplyDeleteSorry- couldn’t resist.
We need OF, C and SP. Would prefer a great OF bat unless a great arm somehow falls to us...
And Giants draft ANOTHER Catcher first?? Posey, Bart and now a third? WTF! Does it mean Mr Z is trading Bart? Cause if he trades Posey someone in SF might kill him.
ReplyDeleteThe other top catching prospect is still on the board. Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteOn another subject- Former Mets and Nationals outfielder Matt den Dekker has been named to the coaching staff at Charleston Southern University, the school announced today. He’ll work with the Buccaneers’ hitters and outfielders.
ReplyDeleteSoderstrom!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCubs getting Ed Howard was a stretch and obviously a $$ issue. 2 stretches so far. Some great player may fall to us after all!
ReplyDeleteI will take Soderstrom Armstrong or Dingler please!!🙏🏻🙏🏻
ReplyDeleteCrochet is gone in double digits rounds. My pick, Kjerstad, who was slated to go about round 11 or 12 by most prognosticators actually went number 2.
ReplyDelete4 teams have drafted for $$ savings. Let’s hope we will not!
ReplyDeleteRed Sox drafting now need pitching badly.... Leaving both Mitchell and Armstrong-Crow on the board with the Mets picking in two picks.
ReplyDeleteHERE WE GO!!!
ReplyDeleteI want Mitchell.
ReplyDeleteLuke Little is still there
ReplyDeleteI want Soderstrom Armstrong or Dingler please!!!!
Mitchell is okay too
ReplyDeleteIt's Armstrong-Crow. Now start hitting the pitchers.
ReplyDeleteWhat does everyone think of this guy?
ReplyDeleteArmstrong is a great kid from a great program and reminds me of a better fielding but less powerful Kelenoc
ReplyDeleteKelenic
ReplyDeleteSorry
David, Kelenic was a toothpick when he was drafted.
ReplyDeleteHe’s a pure center fielder - something we have NONE of.
ReplyDeleteMitchell was the next pick. Interesting. Good night guys, see you tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI remember, TexasGus- but he had more power projection than Armstrong does. But Armstrong is a superb fielder with amazing speed and is a good hitter from a great family and a GREAT program in Harvard-Westlake.
ReplyDeleteRemember folks- you can’t teach SPEED!!
ReplyDeleteHe is the best defensive center fielder in the draft.
ReplyDeleteA fine selection although I preferred Mitchell who seems like more complete player with quicker path to majors.
