2024 Draft Utility

[mike]

The Millers select, 16 year old SS Oscar D'Adonna. Lot to like about him, but the deciding factor was the anticipated eye bump I think he's going to get. He waked 21 times his first two years, and this year he walked 41. My scout has his potential of 7/5/7/6/7 ...with 8/8/8 speed and OSA has him 6/7/6/3/6 ... but with my guess that his eye is closer to 6 than 3.... I went for it.

SS Oscar D'Addona (probably 2b).....liking that power potential Mike?

Sorry gents... Just traded 1.21.

It was actually New Orleans, but he was someone I was just eyeing. I think first baseman get a bad rap yet they tend to impact the game more then most positions. (See Seattle)

They impact the game if they're a truly transcendent hitter the way Ulloa or Owens or Frederick are. It becomes a challenge when you find yourself overvaluing someone who is not in that tier.

I did like that kid but I'm pretty stocked at 1st for a while so had to pass. You got a keeper there. Of course my liking him could be considered the kiss of death. Figuratively though, unlike that guy in Montreal where it would be literally.

Tell you what, though I'm never a huge fan of drafting first baseman until round 2 1B Joy-shan Guo is going to be a freaken monster in a few short seasons. My scout 7-6-7-5-7 and his actuals already are a 5-6-5-5-5. Love this kid.

Willing to trade down for a later first and an added second...

[PaulC]

I just got home...

[Pat]

Also, I depart early AM tomorrow and I doubt we get to 2.19 tonight...

So if anyone picking in the late 1st/early 2nd, I have a surplus of 3rds, 4ths and 5ths to combine to move up from 2.19.

Obvious similarities between Caddell and Louisville 1B/LHP Brendan McKay, a top pick in the 2017 MLB Draft.

Although as Pat mentioned, Caddell is coming off Tommy John and his hitting is purely theoretical. He didn't actually hit or play the field in college.

[Pat]

I took Oklahoma SP Robby Caddell here. He's got a week left of recovery from Tommy John surgery and missed this entire season. So there is risk there. But he's a lefty, 6-6-6 potential from OSA and my scout, decent velocity, groundball and four plus pitches. He's also a big guy 6'4 220.

Oh...and he also might be a great hitter. My scout has him 76645, OSA 66747.

Could be a huge bust. But he should sure be fun to develop.

Took Jamie Glickson. Not exactly sold on him, but I liked him better than the other 2 arms I was looking at.
Friggin Baltimore! I should be Grab-assing right now!

I really dug Glickson , but like another pitcher he's one unlucky dice roll from being a RP. Just can't chance it.

[Pat]

Jamie "Grumpy" Hutter has to be the most perplexing prospect in this draft.

Hank loves sausages too.
