Every time I watch him, I marvel that he was the 42nd pick in the draft. I need to sit down and calculate the accumulated WAR of the previous 41 guys from that draft.

Welp, Adley and Witt Jr went 1 and 2 so I'm guessing the prior 41 combined are going to come out ahead.

I'd try and extend Gunnar before ANYONE of our young players.

Roy, you are the quintessential definition of "prisoner of the moment". lol

Well, Adley and Bobby Witt Jr will throw a monkey in that wrench.  But outside of those two, Gunnar might have the rest beat.

I think Witt very early, and he’s probably had  extra season of ABs to accumulate WAR, and he is a no doubt superstar, but it’s close enough.

Matter fact, why don’t I go check?

Witt-1302 ABs 6.8 bWAR

Gunnar -745 ABs 7.99 bWAR

and for grins,

Adley-1051 ABs 10.3

 

well, to quote Mel Allen,”Well,How about that!”

Some Big numbers. And he lasted til the 42nd pick!

Corbin Carroll went 1-16 that year.

I couldn't help it.

The run on his four seamer is pretty great.

Who would you extend before Gunnar?

[elextrano8]

I wish the Baseball Savant HR/Park thing includes old Camden Yards (pretty sure that would've been out). Hell, it'd be fun if it included lots of old ballparks/configurations

Mateo obviously.

I knew it wasn't Hays in the LF corner because the ball was lobbed in.  Have always loved Hays firing into 2B no matter what. 

Won't see that with Cowser.  

But yes, of course, you won't see any hits from Hays right now either. 

[Tony-OH]

BTW, I love the new little 3D game depiction on Game Day. Was that a nice catch by Mullins? Look like it was on there and then a quick throw to 2B.

Any among Adley, Gunnar, or Jackson. Whoever I could get a deal done with. Heck, I would put Burnes on that list, but I know that he is committed to going to FA.
