>>68256051
They do have a fuckton of needs. Frankly, I think catcher is the top position of need just because of the scarcity of good catchers. There are like two good catchers in the AL right. The NL is lacking them, too. Plus, the Who's have drafted and prayed that so many catchers would work out in the last 8 years. They're trying the same method and hoping they strike gold.

Why is it a bad move that a team whose ballpark gives up a lot of home runs drafts pitchers? Seems like you would want to counteract it with good pitching.
>>68257014
It isn't but they fail to develop them every time
Over/under on number of Cy Young's Pint will win?
>>68257014
it's not a bad pick for the Rockies
but it absolutely fucking sucks for the pitchers
>>68256960
why did he drop so much?
Reynolds to Braves pls
Pint will be out of the league by the time he's 30.
>>68257072
The Rockies seem to be on the right track as far as getting pitchers that can be successful in Coors. They've loaded up their bullpen with hard throwers that can reach triple digits, and it's working. Makes sense too. You get far less movement at altitude, but pitching velocity is pretty much unaffected. Stockpiling big arms seems like a decent strategy.
But yeah, if I was Pint I'd be fucking pissed right now.

He spent time in Canada.
Braves got the three best HS pitchers in the draft.
>>68258075
The whos got gamed by shields.
They're the most JUST team in the league now
whats the trend with hs pitchers? Arent college arms better/less risky and more polished with less time to develop?
>>68258116
Sure, if you don't count Groome, I don't think he's going to sign but that's beside the point.
>>68258175
Its all about upside. HS pitchers could turn out to be front line starters while college it's less likely because they're more developed. High risk high reward.
>>68258172
This is pretty sad. I feel for the whos fans, if they actually had any fans
>>68258175
Kershaw, Archer, Fernandez, Greinke, Hamels, Wainwright, etc. All high school pitchers.
Sometimes there is talent so GREAT that it's obvious they will be major league ready before they turn 21.
>>68258068
But if the pitcher has control problems the faster he throws would it not be feisable to expect the harder thrown the higher the chance of HBP, right? The higher chance it could get away from the pitcher right?
>>68258175
it's just that the most of the best college arms in this draft are fucking garbage. they all pretty much have the same problems that a high school pitcher has except they are 3 or 4 years older.
>>68258172
>>68258075
>>68257976
>>68257832
It's like the whos are not actually a baseball team but a social experiment to see how bad a team can perform, manage, and be run until the fans all lose their minds or commit suicide.
I honestly can't think of any team worse than the whos. It's funny and sad.
I wonder which Mariners draft picks she was responsible for today
>>68258175
College arms are abused so hard that they are guaranteed Tommy John.
Might as well get your HS guy 3-4 years of development in your system under your rules before his elbow explodes before his arbitration clock starts than have the college ''low ceiling high floor'' guy who blows his arm out in 1.
>>68258175
A front end college arm will throw somewhere around 80ip during their season and 50+ more for summerball. Pitches stay under 150 ip a year when they're in the minors. The thought process is, they will throw comparable amounts of innings either way but if you draft them out of HS you can control things like pitch counts and pitch selection/use from day 1.
>>68258290
I mean, yes? The harder you throw the less control you have over the pitch. A pitcher's control or lack thereof would be taken into consideration when formulating a game plan, if the plan is to go hard inside most coaches would prefer you miss in and potentially hit a batter instead of missing over the plate and having them hit it for extra bases.
>>68258437

Even if you get picked at the very end of the supplemental second round your pool is 826,200. Now you probably won't get all of that but even half is enough for a college edumacation so if it were me I'd go pro, if it doesn't pan out you can always go back to school.

Right now there is now way to call a definite laser or winner but I can tell you that the biggest risk taken tonight was Atlanta. Anderson @ 3 could have gone down as one of the worst ever at that pick but they made up for it with the later picks.

The Braves look like they probably had a deal in place for him and Anderson going into the day with Anderson going under slot so we could afford him. If we can sign those 2 and mueller this will be a huge haul for them.
>>68260881
The day they DFA Avi will be a day of great celebration
Fuck you Detroit and your sleeper agents
>>68255918
By far the best overall player. Not a guarantee to be a star, but has the size and athleticism. Needs to add bulk and continue to improve his swing.
>>68260902
he hasn't been terrible this season, not good either though
I'd give him a shot over avi though, he showed slight success when he played int he bigs before
also anyone know what happened to kevan smith, he hasn't played since he had those back spasms or whatever on the day he got called up

Here's the updated one, let me know how this looks
>>68261187
Bump Abreu to average and Morneau to good. Take Rodon to bad. Bump Duke to average.
>>68261187
Good seems pretty optimistic for Anderson.
>>68261210

>>68260975
>>68261268
>He has to be the top prospect for a reason.
It's optimistic for him to be good right away. He's hitting okay in AAA right now, not exactly blowing the doors down. Just being able to stick at SS adds a lot to a prospect's projected value.
>>68261268
>half the team replaced with AAA players

>>68261268
Want to explain to me why both the fucking Detroit sleeper agents are still on this team?
Replace Avishit1 with May and Avishit2 with Lucroy.
>>68261187
No
Anderson is not good, he's barely decent in AAA. Jackson is still the CF, and he's actually been good recently but I'd put him at average for now. Lawrie and melky are also pretty average. Morneau won't be here for a while so keep Avi at JUST
The catchers are definitely JUST
Jennings and Duke are better than Putnam and jpetty. All are pretty average though.

>Kershaw is being paid 32M in 2016
>He can opt out in 2018
will he sign a 250M contract? I mean, since his first contract in 2013 he's posted sub 2's, MVP, Cy Young, everything else....and getting better.

Kershaw's value should be closer to 40 million if you take into consideration at how much better he performs than those who also earn in the in the ~30 million range. The Dodgers are obligated pretty much to own his contract for life.

dodgers have kikes as general managers now and have not been giving ANYONE a big contract,
They just let Grenkie become a snek rather than pay him a kershaw type salary because they were worried about overpaying in 2021
