    I think we all will forget about this draft for 4 years and then wake up to see what surprises crop up... if any.
  2. 1984Echoes
    Let's see who falls to 34...
  3. 1984Echoes
    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?
  4. 1984Echoes
    Hmmmm... Jordan Yost. Might be getting him at a cheap discount to slot value... on a WAG.
  5. 1984Echoes
    Wood or de Brun? Or Summerhill?
  6. 1984Echoes
    Crap. Neyens was the guy I wanted and Astros got him... Figures...
  7. 1984Echoes
    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...
  8. 1984Echoes
    5 picks to go and still 5 guys I like so I'm still hopin'...
  9. 1984Echoes
    Make that 9 and 5 out of 14...
  10. 1984Echoes
    8 SS's and 5 pitchers in the 1st 13 selections...
  11. 1984Echoes
    Pre-draft show on MLB tv at 5...
  12. 1984Echoes
    If Holland turns himself INTO Herb Jones 2.0 then that is a HUGE plus for the Pistons...
  13. 1984Echoes
    Which is why I believe Harris targets players who are NOT huge swing and miss... To avoid those cold as Antartica streaks...
  14. 1984Echoes
    And Max Anderson.
  15. 1984Echoes
    This would be my belief as well.
  16. 1984Echoes
    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?
  17. 1984Echoes
    Plus if Jung or Anderson or Lee is moved for reliever help at the deadline Ibanez is the backup plan B. Errr... Plan J?
  18. 1984Echoes
    Well that would create some difficulty...
  19. 1984Echoes
    Or they could REALLY want to tank this year and run out Sasser and Fears as their PG's. Just a thought...
  20. 1984Echoes
    I don't know... Sasser is not worth much if Alvarado is a better PG (both defensive and play-making and assist-to-turnover ratio) and Chaz Lanier turns out to be a better SG/ 3-pt shooter... which I think he is. Or will be... Holland becomes superfluous with Herb Jones. So I think we're trading extra parts... IMO. The first rounder hopefully for the next several years will be in the 20's... so, hopefully, no lottery protection required. And 2nd rounders are "fungible". The biggest bet is on Alvarado being good enough as the backup PG. I don't think we could ask/get a backup big in the deal (sure, I would love to add Missi... and give them Paul Reed!!!) But I don't think that's happening. There might be some overpay in there... but I don't think it's huge.
  21. 1984Echoes
    PS: I'll take a big swing at that... Detroit sends Ron Holland, Marcus Sasser, unprotected 1st and two 2nds to the Pelicans for: Pelicans send Jose Alvarado and Herb Jones to Detroit.
  22. 1984Echoes
    I would be all over trying to get Herb Jones. Add in Ron Holland to this trade package. Jones is the best version of what we could hope Holland turns into. And I'd take that bet on Jones' offensive potential... PS: Is NO interested in getting cap savings at all? Change your lottery-protected pick into NOT lottery-protected OR into three 2nds... They would be a definite YES on the 1st rounder + Holland? WE would prefer Holland + three 2nds... Does Holland + three 2nds get a yes from the Pelicans?
  23. 1984Echoes
    I'm surprised this only has two laughs and not 25...
  24. 1984Echoes
    That looks like 7 utility IF'ers between Lee, Jung, Cruz, Navigato, Kreidler, Workman and Ibanez. I'm assuming Anderson to Toledo would be the priority guy and get most of his starts at 2B (unless they want to try him also at 1B?) It still looks like a utility guy or two would need to go to Detroit, or Erie... or somewhere. Even with playing Workman and Kreidler in the OF quite a bit (I think Cruz also has been played quite a bit in the OF this year and last year IIRC...). What does everyone else think...?
  25. 1984Echoes
    Montero (on ESPN under "Splits"): 1st time through order .699 OPS 2nd time through order .855 OPS 3rd time through order .910 OPS But I think his biggest problem is consistency... when he's having control problems or 1 of his 2 good pitches aren't working, he's terrible. When everything is working and he's hitting the strike zone... He pitches gems... Just an observation.
