as to who will be available, who do you like for round 3 pick 3? I still really like Vincent Velasquez. I am sad to see a few other of my favorite HS arms go so quickly, but what can you expect?

I know the word was that we are targeting a college bat in round 3, but does that change with our 1st round pick being a position player?

We will need some safety, and round 3 is the only chance to really get any type of safety in our draft without limiting ceiling too too much, but I would rather go with the BPA still regardless......

Gotta go college bat. Jordan has said he wants a player with toughness so that's what we'll be looking for.

I think Jordan's going to try to load up on overslot position players in this draft in the early rounds.

Aren't your overslot opportunities going to be HS kids?

A few college bats to consider

Todd Cunningham OF, Jacksonville State

Mel Rojas Jr. OF, Wabash Valley CC

Rob Segedin 3B, Tulane

Jedd Gyorko - SS West Virginia (projects to 2B)

Tyler Holt - OF Florida State

Austin Wates -OF Virginia Tech

Hunter Morris -1B Auburn (Likely long gone)

Cunningham, Morris and even Gyorko could fit nicely. Don't hold your breath on Morris though.

Can't assume Machado will stick at SS.

Plus depth in the MI is not a bad thing to have at all.

I don't assume he'll stick at SS, but he'll play SS for the next few years. Plus, your looking at Machado, Givens, Miclat and Rosa playing SS in the system. At some point you won't have room to get these guys playing time.

Who are some other college bats that could be available at 3:3? Who are some players you guys want to be seen taken.

A name I've heard was Kyle Roller out of ECU, 47th round last year but didnt sign. Heard he could go in the top 10 rounds (maybe around 5 or so?), he has a lot of power.

I doubt they will still be available but I would love to get one of Hunter Morris, Austin Wates, Jarrett Parker, Josh Rutledge, or Derek Dietrich. I am hoping that a couple of teams draft players above where they are projected to be like yesterday, so a couple of those type of players can fall to us. Even if one of them is still around by our pick, I am afraid we will take a pitcher though.

      Thats how you frame.  You bring the ball up into the zone.  If your glove is set at target and then you go down for the low pitch momentum and gravity will carry the glove and ball lower and out of the zone.  Same with inside/outside pieces, if you show target and move out towards the edge of plate, momentum will carry glove & ball further away. Catchers are taught the show target first, then drop glove down and catch the ball with a motioning coming up.  Same for inside/outside pitch’s, the glove will start further away and then you catch it with a motion bringing it into zone.   It’s much more difficult to do hence the missed ball (a lot of that at lower levels).  The very good framers do it effortlessly and smoothly and can bring the ball into zone for strikes.  Gone are the days of “stick it” & turn your wrist.

      Grade the Hays for Dominguez/Pache trade

      By foxfield · Posted

      I like the move.  I would have liked to have gotten a better arm, but I think it's a pretty fair trade.  Philly's probably grade out slightly higher, but which team fairs better this year because of the trade depends on a number of factors. The move does create some space for our young OF, but Pache is likely just a late inning replacement and that likely just shifts the pressure elsewhere. Also think Hays' comments are entirely overblown.  What the hell was he supposed to say getting traded from the #2 team so far to the #1? Lastly, in the same way moving Mancini to Houston was good for us and good for a respected Oriole, I like the opportunity Hays will have in Philly.

      Organizational Turmoil?

      Agreed every player will say that going to a new team.  What they gonna say man that team is awful their organization is run terrible.   It’s always the same cliche responds.  I like our chances that are a team competing or if you go to a bottom team it is I like my chances to play they are an upcoming team with some young talent that I think I can help.

      Clubhouse issues?

      Hays I 100% think he was bitter and resentful. About a month ago he had a decently big game and they interviewed him on field and he didn’t even seem happy. Then, Melanie asked him what it was like to be in left field with the (I don’t remember what it was called) Cowser cheering section. He did not seem amused at all. So yeah, prob another reason it was best he was traded.

      Just what @398 to Leftsaid in his post.  I was sitting in my car listening to the whole interview and Law said something like his reporting that Hayes wouldn’t be that missed in the locker room.  It surprised me and Bob never followed up on it.  It was just a quick remark like that.

      Iron also dulls iron. Depends on how they interact.
