No matter who they draft, I only want to know they will win the NEXT GAME or not.

Miller’s got good enough stuff to win his next game in Low A, yeah.

Would have gone Ferris or Tidwell or Wisenhunt over Miller there.

Don't understand Miller over Ferris.

Would like to see us grab Ben Joyce off the board early tomorrow.  Brock Porter has not been drafted and he was borderline top 10.

The thinking is that he is definitely going to Clemson and especially now since no way he will be paid enough.

Yes, I figured it was a signability thing.  At some point it's worth a flyer for some club.

So yes, about 2, 3 years.

Nah, by Kim’s timing, it’ll be about 15 years.

 

Third pick.

Fourth pick. That's three pitchers in a row.

 

Four in a row.

 

We need bats.... what's with all this pitcher shit?  Do they not have confidence in their hitting instructors?

Yeah.. Sorry I was trolling, I don't miss the Loria days of drafting 7 of them in the first 10 rounds to save cash.

 

Well this is what I get for joking about how badly we draft...

some people on this board seem to have no problems waiting and waiting as long as he's doing well in the minors

Ng "I'm still working on finding a good closer since FA earlier this year so let's just draft a ton of pitchers and hope one pans out in 4 years. "

Four fourth or fifth year seniors in a row. All pitchers...If they don't take a risk on some HS kids late with the money they saved, then I have no idea what the plan was.

Maybe oldest player available?

Sherman is crying broke from the huge contracts to Avi and Soler

Angels took ben Joyce in third round.  Missed opportunity there.

Hate the strategy if drafting four year college seniors. We really need to look closer at age curve graphs.

Ideally we want guys to hit the majors at 23. Then we get six controllable years before they peak. 

Drafting a guy 22 or 23 almost insures he is not going to be a superstar.

Unless we are trying to save slot money for a potential star. But I'd rather have as many lotto tickets as possible.

With good scouting we can find guys like nardi, Johnston, Melendez( even though he didn't sign) in the late late rounds.

I mean, no matter who they draft the most important thing now still be Miami Marlins would win their next game or not.

They use all but one of their top ten draft picks on pitchers means :  

1. They 100% make sure Mel would stay here long term. 

2. They would use their super pitching surplus (veterans or prospects ) to acquire real good veteran hitters to compete in the 2023 and beyond. 

3. They just give up to develop the hitters by themselves. 

Day 3, more pitching.

What are bats and how do they relate to baseball?

A non-pitcher!
