What about DJ LaMahieu?


Recommended Posts

Is there any chance that DJ could fall to the Orioles 2nd round pick? His numbers are very similar to Grant Green's, and he plays in the tough SEC Conference.

Green has better projection. He could be around at 2:5. I think he might go in the supp.

He may fall to the 2nd round, if he does we may have to jump on him though there will still be some good pitchers around, HS and college. I think he will probably be gone by our spot in round 2. To me he is a late 1st rounder, supplemental pick....He started off the year scorching hot though, there was talk of him going in the top 10 at his popularity's peak....

Personally, I think he drops to the mid- to late-second; maybe even the third. LSU shifted him over to 2B to let Austin Nola man short (he's a plus defender). Some already had questions as to whether or not his size would prevent him from staying at SS, and while this isn't his fault it doesn't help his stock. He's been okay but not great offensively in SEC play.

I think once you get into the 20s there are a lot of guys who can be taken at the end of the first or sit around until the third. One of the main reasons why mocks are relatively worthless. I think a team like the Angels or Reds might value him more the other.

    • Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.
    • Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?
    • I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.
    • This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
    • I have it on dvr and I timed it four times. I got 10.75, 10.80, 10.74, and 10.78.
    • This is exactly what EDC said tonight     
    • My guess is more of a safety profile than they preferred. They clearly wanted Wiggins. They ran that pick up fast. And then when you listen to the press conference, the love for the player was obvious.
