Generic minor league thread - Until the Great Rico returns

[CJ9]

I was initially more sour on the Shewmake pick than I was on the Langeliers pick, but I started to understand the rationale around the Shewmake pick more and more as time has passed. He looks like a really good player.

I hated the Langeliers pick from day 1 and that hasn't really changed. Its still too early to tell if I was right, but the early results don't look all that great. I just really hate taking catchers early in the first round. For what its worth, Adley Rutschmann has been even worse than Shea so far in his very early results.

Evaluating college catchers in their draft year isn't a good way to do it. I'm certainly not a huge fan of the Langeliers pick, but he started the season at Baylor in mid-February, and he's not used to playing this long. Add in the hamate injury this year, and I don't think the stats this year mean anything for him.
