I wish I had your faith in Cano, he couldn't even get 3 outs last night. -
Baseball America Our boom or bust bucket of players includes eight players who have at least a 108 mph 90th percentile exit velocity and also a contact rate less than 70%. Two of these players are potential first-rounders—and polarizing ones at that given their contact issues—and all of them are either outfielders or likely first base defensive profiles. Vance Honeycutt, OF, North Carolina Dakota Jordan, OF, Mississippi State Hunter Hines, 1B, Mississippi State Jared Jones, 1B, LSU Jacob Walsh, 1B, Oregon Jackson Linn, OF, Tulane Grant Knipp, C/RHP, Campbell Devin Obee, OF, Duke The inclusion of Honeycutt and Jordan in this bucket is illustrative of the challenges teams will have on draft day when they are deciding whether or not to make the dynamic right-right hitters first-round picks or not. They have more swing-and-miss questions than typical first-round outfielders, but both also provide exceptional raw power (Jordan), great defensive ability (Honeycutt), speed (Honeycutt) and athleticism to dream on (both). Jones is intriguing here as a three-true outcome hitter who has the fourth-best 90th percentile exit velocity of the 156 players and he’s also the only player in this boom/bust bucket with above-average swing decisions. He’s truly an extreme offensive profile. Obee’s inclusion here was surprising to me because I didn’t expect the Duke outfielder to have this sort of power, while Linn could have one of the worst combinations of contact (67.7%) and aggression (37% chase rate) of the class. -
Now we know why they’ve been active in the SP market. Looks Povich is here to stay. I’m pulling for McDermott to make the next steps and be an option. -

Abuse? He was quoted. I'd expect them same treatment. -
Figured I would click on this thread to see how much abuse Roy would get. Didn’t disappoint. Well done.
