Lol I think I hate this organization

I know bro. Its stupid.

 

[zjcvols]

I’m cool with Caminiti

 

[LotteryPick]

Cam Caminiti, LHP - LFG!

Same thing with Waldrep. This guy was not supposed to fall this far

 

[LotteryPick]

Tanks was right there man. RIGHT THERE

This is good

 

[zjcvols]

Tanks was right there man. RIGHT THERE

It’s not a college underslot guy with command issues so it’s an improvement even though I think Tanks could be a competent MLB hitter next year

 

[AV_12]

What’s he got? Looks like a good pick, pitcher or not

 

[mr.checkerboards]

96 fastball
Good slider
Inconsistent curve
Said on the broadcast he could be a 3rd or 4th rounder in the OF.

Touches 98 and sits 93-95 with the fastball already. I like it. Especially only being 17

Fastball 93-95, gets to 98 and a nasty changeup. Curveball has good spin. Only 17 too

Exactly. He could be Ozunas replacement in 2 years.

Kiley seems legitimately stoked Atlanta got him lol

I think there’s a better chance Acuna is DH in two years which might have scared them off Tommy. Though I think that’s a stupid way too look at it

 

[zjcvols]

Philly is gonna take White though and I will be pissed

 

[AV_12]

Yeah that is not a Gilmartin type pick

I don't think they were ever on Tommy if we are being honest.

Extremely athletic and potential for four above average/plus offerings. Dude is really good and I hadn’t seen him mocked out of the top 15.

I mean AA has only taken a HS position player twice in the first and hasn’t since 2019. They certainly have a type.

I understand “positional value” is a thing and a lot of people are following the Padres/Astros models of “take CF and SS that show hitting capability and figure it out later” but White is about as safe a hitter as you can take to my untrained eye. I don’t care he’s not a good athlete and has defensive questions, I’ll be surprised if he’s not putting up .350 OBP and 25 HR a year in the Majors

I'm not arguing. I think White has a ton of talent.
It's just the org, I don't see them looking at him. We like high potential pitchers.

 

[AV_12]

CMO might be hitting 3 spot for wash by September lol

 

[LotteryPick]

Phillies went way underslot lol

 

[raw dog]

This is good

I just want a hitter bro lol

We all thought Wright was that dude too. And Sims. Allard. Wentz. schuster. Cusick. And that’s just off the top of my head.

Not that they have anything to do with this pick but point remains.
