Robert Moore shows remarkable power for a 5'9", 165 guy. Interesting. Toy Cannon II?
If we drafted one of these second basemen, I would only want a guy who can control his strikeouts, shows poser and speed.
Fine job as usual, Mack. I eonder how you compile these lists, since I doubt that you travel around the country scouting. Do you have certain scouts who rate these kids, or do you just review their stats?
I believe the best 2bs are SS that have to be moved off
I don’t like drafting 2b
Bill
I gather info and scouting info from scouts, draft writers, coaches, and players
Thir rank lists way heavy.on the final process.
My brain.
I agree which makes Johnson a sure fire top 5 pick capable of playing either.position at the next level.
He is the best TRUE second basemen in this draft.
