    Shewmake's mannerisms and swing remind me of Hunter Pence. He doesn't seem to have close to the same amount of power though.
    thank you weso1!

    Shea was the 9th-11th projected player on alot of boards. Not really a reach but low ceiling, high floor.

    Shew, i cant defend, given the players available.

    Pence is good. Craig Counsell comes to mind for me. Not the weird set up of Counsell, more the scrawniness and slap hitter swing.

    I hope what I am saying doesn't come off as complaining. I halfway expected Langeliers the way the draft fell to them, but the Shewbake pick is a bit of a head-scratcher. But I don't know how to grade these guys.

    Good thing we didn’t have as many picks as Arizona or we’d end up with a whole class of utility players.

    This draft, to me, has been worse than any I can remember since i started following it closely.

    Langeliers, Shewmake, and Philip. My God what a ****pile of a haul for having two first round picks.

    Doesn't seem like the most obvious use of the slot money we've been allocated

    Going underslot for our first three picks to really cash in on those college seniors latter. Bold strategy cotton.
