    I'd agree with that. And next years draft is supposed to better than this years. Getting to 4 would be huge.

    Just a guess, but we probably don't need a higher pick to land Beer given his defensive liabilities.

    Just makes one wonder if he might be fast-tracked as a potential Kemp replacement since the brass has shown the willingness to blow off defense in LF with Kemp and Adams out there.
    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?

    Now tied for 4th worst in the NL and only a game behind Cincy and 4 behind SF. Didn't think we'd be this bad again but a higher draft is the focus now!

    1. Phillies- 44-77 (.364)
    2. White Sox- 46-74 (.383)
    3. Giants- 50-75 (.400)
    4. Reds- 53-71 (.427)
    5. Athletics- 53-71 (.431)
    6. Tigers- 53-69 (.434)
    t-7. Braves- 54-67 (.446)
    t-7. Mets- 54-67 (.446)


    We are so close. That Colorado series was so frustrating. Let's hope Cincinnati completes the sweep today.

    We can get to 3. And we still have a few games with the Phillies. So we can "eight men out" those games and be right there.

    That game yesterday was so frustrating.

    We have to be swept by Seattle.

    Yep. We're gonna have a miraculous finish to end up between 7-9 in the reverse pennant chase.

    Another top 10 pick we can go all in on. Tell someone we will pay 10 million and make it a one person draft

    9th currently, but the Padres are still playing and could pass us with a win.

    We're just 2 games from the 3 spot. A lot of teams are just within a couple of games of each other

    I'm going to be that "fan" who wishes all of our youngsters do well (at each position), but Snitker makes idiotic bullpen mistakes. I hope the vets in the pen blow the games for us.

    It would be awesome to get another top 5 pick before we ascend into the 15-20 range next year.

    If things remain as they are, an early draft preview might look like

    1.) Phillies - Brice Turang
    2.) Giants - Brady Singer
    3.) Reds - Ethan Hankins
    4.) Tigers - Kumar Rocker
    5.) Padres - Casey Mize
    6.) Mutts - Shane McClanahan
    7.) Braves - Griffin Conine

    Yeah. He had a great sophomore year at Duke and then shredded the Cape Cod League. He's looking like the kind of guy who will be a top 3-5 pick. As many BB's as K's, power, speed, good arm in the outfield.
