You are very right to question some of the 2nd rd - 5th rd choices we’ve made. As you point out, guys with little upside. A pipeline of some version of arms would’ve been better by the upside of what Williams, Trimble, Josenberger, etc… have offered. Niche role types versus pitching.
I appreciate that you pointed out that it was a fluff piece. I think most of us aren’t experts on the minors so we probably are more easily swayed by seeing any good info about us.
Fruit is a nice story as a 9th rd pick, but we did have Tyler Wilson recently as a 10th rd pick. We developed him during the “dark ages”.
What’s the deal with Brecht? Even if he fails be a TOR SP, is his floor a high leverage arm?
It seems like it’s all command and developing his secondaries.
Is this the pitcher that we take a shot on in the first rd?
The bats are no slam dunks either. I’ve been firmly in the take the bats category, but I’m moving more to Brecht here each day.
We just got shutdown by really good pitching from the NL. That happens. We scored 2 runs all series.
We had a let down sweep series vs Houston after the Yankees series.
We get swept versus the Cubs right before the Yankees series.
This was a classic look ahead spot.
