    People will make excuses for Elias for another 10 bad drafts as Martin & Lawlar have great careers with the Blue Jays & Sox. This draft in particular was just plain awful. Last year, at least I saw the logic despite not agreeing with it but what a demoralizing approach when trying to close the gap in organizational talent (largely between the two above mentioned teams).
     

     

    I see BB Reference has Martin listed as a 3B SS and CF with a .775 OPS in AA.  Not too shabby I guess.

    He’s played all 5 games against the Rome Braves since being in Aberdeen. Yes, he’s 0-15, but it’s pretty clear that the Rome Braves are staying away from as they have walked him 10 times in 5 games.

    Honest question: what would be a Rutschman outcome you’re happy with? I’ll go out on a relatively sturdy limb and say he won’t reach the offensive heights of Posey nor the overall, complete and utter greatness of Molina. Basically, what exactly are we expecting from him at this point?

    You’re taking Molina over Posey? theoretically...

    This falls under the category of "shoulder shrug". While Jannis may be able to eat some innings, I will be surprised if he finds success at the major league level. His knuckleball doesn't miss many bats and when I've watch him, it has a pretty true downwards break each time vs that knuckleball that jumps all over the place. He'll throw his 87-89 MPH fastball to try and keep batters honest, but nothing jumps out to me that he's the next Wakefield.

    Saying that, he's a knuckleballer so who knows?

    As for Sceroler, he just didn't bring the upside that Wells does and his command was not good enough. I was little surprised he made the team out of spring training but thought why not? If the team is willing to keep running out Harvey as a starter, why not see what Sceroler could do. 

    Sceroler is one of those high spin rate guys that doesn't haver the command to make the stuff work yet. Maybe it will improve at some point, but he just wasn't worth keeping all year and then a 40-man spot next winter.

    Not many will be the next Wakefield.  Will be fun to watch the guy even if he gets hammered.

    Its not the first pick that I am worried about.  Its that Elias clearly thought that he had a more complete team than he did.  As noted by others in this thread, not have the self awareness to know what your team is can destroy the competitive future of the franchise.

    Its like the White Sox trading Tatis Jr for James Shields.  

    I’m sorry, that is a terrible analogy
