Pretty sure the board rules say something somewhere about manipulation of the spacetime continuum being a no-no.

That's the sun board.

Well it's pretty clear to see what Elias is doing here.  Draft a ton of SS / CF and figure you can always move them to other positions if needed.  Seems like a valid strategy.

This always reminds me of a quote from my high School baseball coach Harry Lentz. At the beginning of my sophomore year, I was doing some catching but also playing some outfield. During BP I'm in the outfield and he yells out, "Pente, where does the best athlete play on a baseball field?" 

I yelled back, "SS coach."

He then said, "Well then what are you doing in the outfield?"

I ran to SS and started taking ground balls. After botching several balls and making some strong but wild throws to first, Coach Lentz looked at my with his hands on his hips and said, "Pente, get back in the outfield."

He is quick out there in CF.

A real fast Rizer...

Senior, money saver, but some tools, small but physical. Probably won't hit enough to get to them, but you could do a lot worse with senior picks.

Nice debut weekend for Rizer in Aberdeen, 5 for 8 with 2 doubles and a triple.    If he keeps that up we’ll have to start a thread for him in the minors forum!

I agree, nice start for this kid.

Saw him over the weekend, he can really go get it in CF.

This is waaaaaaaaay too early but any comparisons to Cedric Mullins defensively at this point?  I saw that highlight reel play he made in college vs UT.  Better arm hopefully ......
