Yeah, really surprised me at the time. I have some friends that play on the Clemson team, they said his family pushed him hard to get a college education and they've been Clemson fans for a long time (apparently). Graduating HS early was a compromise so he could get into pro ball faster, he's...

No. He only enrolled starting this semester, unfortunately. I don't think he'll be eligible until 2018 draft.

I don't see that as an unlikely outcome, though. As long as he doesn't shoot up the boards, the range he's currently projected at is prime territory for a HS guy to drop if he thinks he's worth more than his slot value.

Ruben Tejada was put on waivers by the Mets today. I know a lot of people will be saying all Aybar to the Cards rumors are dead, but...why wouldn't we take a flyer on Tejada? Not prohibitively expensive at all, he's good defensively and meh offensively, and he'd be an heir apparent for when we...

It's not likely, but it's not impossible.

Really interesting discussion to be had there, drawing the line where statistics and reality diverge. I'm sure someone could do a T-test to see if there's any statistical significance to the data.

Not really. I'd say his defense is his worst quality, honestly. He was mostly a DH and second baseman his first two years. It's why I'm so confused at that super aggressive ranking of him.

The guys I'd consider would be: Prado, Beltre, Justin Turner, Desmond (depends on his year this year), Cespedes, Reddick, Strasburg, Kenley Jansen.

Nah, but close. Grad student

It's cool. Most people don't have the time or inclination to watch MiLB tape.

I've watched a good bit of film on him. When he's on, he maintains a 3/4 arm slot and doesn't drag his arm through his changeup. When he gets lazy or rattled or he's just not on, his arm drifts to a more overhand motion, and he drags through his changeup which leaves it up. Fixable for sure.
