After this draft and turning our attention to 2020 whose jumping on the Blaze Jordan bandwagon?

And only one of them is a reason to promote early, and he had an excellent coach in Bruce Bochy.  Zunino and Wieters both did not deliver offensively.  Let him develop in the minors.  

You have no evidence that further maturation would have made any difference.

My only concern about Rutschman is that I detest the name Adley. Adlai is fine, but Adley? No way.

Except for years of scouts and people being involved in the game claiming that the offense from catchers develops much later than offense, just based on everything involved in the catcher position- both what they deal with physically, as well as managing young pitching staffs.

I like Ad-ley, goes hand in hand with Ed-die and his timeline is just right to be to my 4-year old what Eddie was to my 7-year old self.

The MASN Live Stream had the war room on now. The room is full up and in the warehouse.  Many faces I don't recognize.
