*Far Out* Draft Talk

Would be nice to draft the collegiate players who are more closer to being MLB ready. Granted you draft the best player possible, but the higher school players are usually 3-4 years away minimum unless they are well advanced.

Bobby’s father works for the orioles in some capacity I think. %1000 he goes 1 if he puts up a decent year. Based off his talent and not just that of course.

 

 

I'm more confident in the FO taking the draft more serious than the previous regime.

 

It's so sad that that even has to be said. Why wouldn't any ownership take the draft seriously?

Yeah, it was very frustrating.

Should be, they handled the draft better already in 2018. The previous regime only thought of the dollars involved, this one was signing over-slot even.

Previous FO also took a lot of high school talent at the top of the draft, you wouldn't think that's bad but they definitely carry a greater risk that we clearly seen hasn't paid off enough. As opposed to drafting Univerity or Juco guys that are safer.

Huh? I was told this regime is just as cheap and only drafted guys who would sign for less.

There’s been shifts in philosophy leaguewide about drsrting college or high school players high.  I haven’t analyzed it but it is possible the marlins have been in step with those trends in the past.  But maybe not. 

 

 

Don't understand the strategy to pick more high school players than the college ones,didn't the college players much closer to the major league than the high school ones ? did the signing bonus were much lower for the high school players ?

 

 

We are going have to wait and see who develops the most this upcoming season, these draft projections will change. We will be guaranteed an elit prospect at #4, we just need to make sure to select him.

 

 

Nice joke there, Silver Silver Bullet Mesa, [White].

Yesterday Isan Diaz hit two HR’s at U23 Baseball World Cup, the second time in the last four games. Diaz has 4 HR’s in 7 games played. I know I’m a little off topic but wanted to mention it for thous who didn’t see it.

im sure the competition isnt great but good to see nonetheless.  I still dont think he gets talked about enough.  His ceiling isnt sky high but he has a fairly high floor.  He has long term 2b written all over him with like a .260-.270 avg, .350 + OBP, and 20 hr's with some speed as well.  Really good piece to have in the system.
