I would've liked to have taken a shot with Gage Wood however...
He could make an MLB bullpen before the end of the year... and I wouldn't have minded that being with Detroit.
He still has starter upside (no hitter 19K's his last start...); but he could begin his MLB career in the bullpen and I wouldn't shed any tears over that...
But alas... Dombrowski and his Phillies are taking that shot...
They're saying he wasn't even 2nd round consideration until late this year...
I think the money will be much higher than he expected... I'm certain they've had conversations with him and his family on this already... and he'll sign for quite a bit under slot...
Just guessing...
They're saying he has exceptional bat control, 1 K in 135 PA's this spring, excellent fielding SS, no power. Bursts speed to close in on fielding balls... hitting? bases?
3 guys I'd rather choose than De Brun...
With 4 selections to go...
BTW: 1st 16 picks were 10 SS's and 6 pitchers... before an OF'er was taken at 17 by the Cubs...
Question:
What would it cost to get Aroldis Chapman?
Second question:
Harris finds a cost he is OK with in a trade for: Paul Skenes? Joe Ryan? Or Jacob DeGrom? And what is the cost?
