LongLiveMaroth Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 2 hours ago, RatkoVarda said: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-mock-draft-1-0/ I think Skenes is a virtual lock at no. 2 regardless of who the first pick is, and I now think there’s a growing likelihood that that first pick will be Langford. Not enough to mock him there just yet, but enough that I’d consider him the second most likely player to go first behind Crews. 37. Detroit Tigers Pick: Tommy Troy, SS, Stanford A Langford-Troy 3/37 pick would be a nice get for Harris. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyMarsh Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Yeah I prefer Langford just cause I think his bat is a little better(Crews defense is better though) but I'll gladly take either. But let's be real we all know how this is gonna turn out, the guy we don't get will turn into Mike Trout and the guy we draft will be a bust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious D Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Baseball needs to allow picks to be traded. Would just make everything more interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he hates us so much, he wants us to have three busts, all at once, all right at the top of the draft. That, I think, would be new.

Shinzaki Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 You know Avila would have suggested trading that Verlander pick for Ricky Ledee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenacious D Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 4 minutes ago, Shinzaki said: You know Avila would have suggested trading that Verlander pick for Ricky Ledee would have been interesting during the Dombrowski era--seems like we surrendered some 1st rounders to sign free agents. I think he would have traded any picks we had for vets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some picks are allowed to be traded. I understand why they don't allow draft day trades, though. The pace of the later rounds would make it drag for many additional if trades reset everything.

I think Avila was pretty consistent in his goal of acquiring and retaining young players. He just wasn't particularly good at it and he was bad at other things such as free agent signings.

Tigermojo Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 I'm looking forward to what the new front office can do. Rob Metzler was with the Rays for a long time. They've had some pretty good success in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very MLB like approach at the plate - no wasted motion or excess kick to have to get rid of, gets his front foot down fast and easy power to all fields. In the OF he can dive, run, basket catch. None of it means he can hit MLB breaking balls, but if he fails he's going to look good doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
