Yeah. It's why I'm thinking Bishop and then Espino or another high school arm. This draft has me changing from day to day.
we could try to work a deal to have one of the top 6 guys drop to us...there are a couple from the south who might prefer the braves...we apparently worked something like that with Wright

If you want to make the argument that it'd be prudent to lean toward high schoolers that are a little further away since we can stand to replenish the lower levels, it's not exactly bad news. Carroll ranks as their #2 HS hitter, #1 HS strike zone judgement, and #1 HS defensive OF. Jack Leiter ranks #2 on their HS breaking ball list, #3 on their HS changeup list, and #1 on their HS control list. Allan was #3 on their HS fastball list and #1 on their HS breaking ball list, and the scout's take they posted says "Guys who can throw a good curveball, they have feel and wrist flexibility ... He might have two 70-grade pitches with the fastball and curveball."
Based on FG's board, grabbing Carroll for a little under slot and trying to float Allan (or Leiter) to #21 might really not be such a bad idea.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Still not really sure why we haven't been connected to him much. I think Baseball America connected us to Carroll in their first mock and said we were all over him, but there hasn't been anything since then. The only thing I can think of is that Kiley mentioned Carroll as a guy who was asking for a good amount of money, so maybe that's it? Not totally sure. I'd be plenty happy with him at 9.
But can we handle 4 years of thethe hyping him as the next big thing. These things have to be considered when making choices like this.
