Not a bookie so I don't give ODDS

 

Serious things can happen.

I'm on the record.

This is complete hindsight.  That was not the case going into that draft and you know it.

I thought it was a mistake to pick Appel at the time

So his mistake was in not calling you. Should have known.

Guy I forgot to mention in my post on the next tier of guys behind Rutschman is JJ Bleday of Vanderbilt, he’s a corner outfielder with the arm for RF, plus hit who has added strength since last year and has begun to hit for power. Elite performer in the SEC. 

Also, a pitcher has moved into the second tier for me, George Kirby was 93-97 today, best velocity of the season for him. Big time strike thrower, lacks a plus out pitch but has a SL and curveball that project to above average along with an avg change. Super high floor guy.

No his mistake was not knowing more than a casual fan.

Which casual fan was that?

Perhaps, but that’s not an opinion you expressed here at the time.

And Rutschman is doing it without the super bats.

But can Rutschman pull off a gimmick like playing all nine positions in one game against an over-matched opponent?

When does Oregon State play the Marlins?

If I thought Witt had HoF upside I take an infielder that plays 150+ games per year over a catcher.

Love JJ Bleday!  Here is an excerpt from his coach at Vandy...hilarious!   Great article as well

 

“Everything he does is deliberate. He’s an old man at heart,” said  Coach Tim Corbin. “It’s just like coaching your dad. He’s s**t out of luck for being in a 21 year old’s body… He’s not a pain in the ass, he’s always where he’s supposed to be and says the right thing. He’s accountable, he doesn’t screw up, he just is a real good kid. You just wish you had a bunch of guys like that. He’s just been a fun kid to coach… He’s one of those guys where you realize you might only have three years with him which sucks, but at the same time you’re glad you had the opportunity to spend three years with him, you know? Maybe I’ll thank his parents at some point.”

ESPN was actually talking about baseball? And the draft? 

Hard to fathom.

Someone probably told them that Kyler Murray used to play baseball.
