Woo Dinger!

Not sure about the "Ohtani WHO?!" call by Kevin on that one.  Am I the only one? 

Brown has gradually gotten very homerish and dare I say "fratty" since becoming comfortable in his role. That was just childishly terrible to say that about a great player like Ohtani.

    • Every scouting report?   Minus this Baseball America pre draft write up. “Bradfield has tormented batteries with his blazing speed since his prep days with American Heritage High in Plantation, Fla., where he ranked as the No. 66 player in the 2020 class. Since getting to campus at Vanderbilt, he’s lived up to his reputation as a dynamic, disruptive speedster and lockdown center fielder who has hit .313/.427/.450 in 190 games with 130 stolen bases at a 90.9% success rate. Bradfield is a lean and skinny, 6-foot-1, 170-pound lefthanded hitter who has a level bat path that’s conducive to line drives and ground balls. He has a strong understanding of the strike zone and has walked at a 14.7% rate, struck out at a 13.5% rate and in 2023 made contact at an 87% rate. Brafield projects as a 30-grade power hitter in pro ball, but has sneaky exit velocities—an 87 mph average exit velocity in 2023—considering his size and overall home run production. Bradfield is an 80-grade runner who should pepper ground balls, line drives and drop bunts for infield singles, with consistently high BABIP numbers and elite baserunning. His speed translates to center field, where he’s also a top-of-the-scale defender who covers massive swaths of ground, with great instincts albeit a below-average arm. Bradfield has a polarizing profile and has much less power than the average first round college outfielder, but he’s also a potential Gold Glove winner and stolen base champion who earns Juan Pierre comps.“
    • He's an Oriole pitcher with a pretty good arm and a shaky first couple seasons. So of course he'll be DFA'd and then he'll win a Cy Young.    
    • Diaz has a little bit different track record, wouldn’t you say?
    • He wasn’t exactly lighting it up in college either.  Every scouting report and every prospect review says the swing is a problem, yet I am am the one that is speaking out of school to say that it is while you are the sane one for saying it’s fine?
