You mean the board or the prospect ranking websites of the world?

I mean I understand the concerns on the other side. Former top pitching prospect in all of baseball gets hurt, gets treated with some crazy new surgery then comes back and is throwing three miles per hour slower.

I could see where folks would think he is done for.

I don't really see a ton of excitement for him on this board per se. I see a lot of people saying don't trade someone with a ton of market value, for one year of Upton or Kemp's horrible K. But I'm not sure there are a ton of posts gushing over Bundy. So I wasn't sure what the poster was referring to.

Oh I agree. I think some posters are being incredibly pessimistic concerning Bundy. I think he was pretty much where he was supposed to be last fall and should be impressive this spring.

I think I am about as high on him as anyone is publicly admitting.

Bundy is a spectacular young pitcher who got hurt. Got fixed. Is ready to go. Much like Jose Fernandez and Matt Harvey. Just like them. To think otherwise is pretty foolish.

Why is it TOR starter or bust for Bundy? Ideally at least 1 of Gausman, Bundy and Harvey develop into that Ace level pitcher. Realistically if all 3 of them develop into capable starters that is huge. 6 years of control for all 3 of them to fill out a rotation. Right now a #4 type pitcher like Hammel or Feldman is getting 10million + on the open market.

Exactly. Even as #3-4 SP, that's a lot of value.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
