Given up on Kjerstad, Westburg, and Baumler already?

Yep.

I mean, if Mayo pans out the strategy of going under slot to get someone like him in the later rounds would have appeared to be a solid one.

Really though, just giving up on Kjerstad and Baumler.  Westburg, not so much.

I was talking to a friend who went to an Ironbirds game last week and was sitting with a couple of family members of players on the team.  They all agreed that Westburg (who by then had been promoted) had been head and shoulders the best player on the team.   He’s definitely one to watch.   

I’m giving up on nobody from that draft.  Delayed but not denied.

I'm half kidding when I say that about Kjerstad and Baumler.  

Here's hoping the 2020 draft is one that can help springboard this team to respectability.

Can the case be made that he currently has the highest offensive ceiling in the system? I think he’ll be on at least one top 100 list next spring. 

I don’t think he makes the top 100 lists yet.  I think his first chance to debut on one would be midseason next year.

    • Kopech is interesting. As for Fedde? The days of 4.50 ERA and up should be over for the O's. Being this is out of the norm, and not the AL East.. Fedde is not worth it to me. I'd rather bring up a young guy and work with him than wait for the sky to fall. Maybe Dan D can find a spot for him somewhere.
    • Why not? Not like it’s a day after a night game and they are off tomorrow. Exactly what it should be.
    • Never asked for everyday..but real opportunity should be there and hiding behind some stupid archaic rule when the info you actually have suggests otherwise is dumb.  
    • Fedde is a hard guy to peg.    Kudos to him for making what looks like a great choice for his Age 30 year. It feels a little dicey to me if the first half success (never mind Year 2) can stick as the league digests the changes in his game. Elias will get to see a couple more starts of his back rotation guys figuring how the Floor v. Upside balance he buys. I think of Chris Flexen some when I think of him as an Asia guy who had time constrained success coming back to the USA with a new set of skills.
    • 1: Jones only had some in-season swings that made us think but his o-swing rate was quite a bit worse.  Mountcastle's chase rate is the lowest of his career this season. 2: I think we were more willing to forgive Jones for swinging at low/away sliders because he played a premium defensive position.
    • I think you have the BABIP point backwards.  League average BABIP is .288, so Fedde’s .269 suggests he’s had some combination of good defense or good luck.  Also, per Statcast his 3.13 ERA is better than his xERA of 3.57.   
    • The fit here seems almost too obvious. Veteran rentals where we’ll only have to take on a relatively small amount of money and probably won’t cost us anything particularly high-end.  Given my choice, I’d probably lean toward Heaney and Robertson. I like the idea of adding a lefty to what it appears at the moment will be a pretty righty heavy SP group, and Heaney is in great form at the moment. And I think Robertson’s performance seems a little more sustainable than Yates’s, given their more recent track records. He’s also got a ton of playoff pitching history, so I’d have a little more trust in his ability to manage the moment. I think the biggest mystery for me is what would Texas be seeking. The ML lineup seems pretty set, so it’s hard to envision a Norby or Stowers having value there. Maybe a “now” pitcher like Povich/McDermott plus a couple lower level/higher ceiling guys?
