STOVE

The plan was to get 4 incredibly talented position prospects. Plus a few other intriguing guys

Huh? Picks 1 and 2 do not project as utility players. The two high schoolers (McKenzie and Essenburg) are top 100 talents to some evaluators. They will go big overslot for them. This is an incredibly intriguing draft.

Oh man… I remember it was rumored the Braves were either gonna sign Fick or David Ortiz… Ortiz had only had minimal success with the Twins at the time… don’t think we picked right on that one.

Check out Carlos Collazo on X… Baseball America guy who’s always on top of the signing info:

Wow... Southisene signed for a ton underslot.... Lodise also signed underslot... looks like all the savings are going to McKenzie and Essenburg

Announced as an OFer

I also would get a longer look at Suero… I know he hasn’t had a ton of MLB success but he also hasn’t had a ton of opportunity. He looked great yesterday and has been awesome at Gwinnett. You never know with these pen guys. I really want to see more and more of Dodd in a relief role too

And if we can’t get a difference maker, he won’t be traded… no one is suggesting otherwise…

The Rays, Cards, and San Diego could all have interest. If you can get them to overpay with MLB ready or close talent that can fill holes, you do it… will that happen? Probably not… but it sounds like you’d rather just put your fingers in your ears. Teams make dumb over reaction decisions at the...
