Nice show of respect by the Penguins fans. Quite unexpected.
Guys are still young so the jury is still out. But the guys before him haven't been too hot either. Termarr Johnson has been mediocre. Druw Jones has been banged up but hasn't been up to the hype either. Of course, Rocker and and Holliday have made it to the show.i went back and looked at the 2022 draft thread. Green, Parada, Temarr Johnson and Brooks Lee were all linked to the Nats at one point or another.
If I remember correctly Kevin Parada was the other guy connected to the Nats quite a bit. He hasn't fared well either. Hasn't been able to figure AA out in his 3rd trip there, 2nd full season.
Carrying this discussion over here from the Crews thread in The Clubhouse:
FWIW, I looked up the 5 players taken after Green:
#6: Jacob Berry - Almost 24, in AAA, currently hitting .083 with a .431 OPS
#7: Cade Horton - 23 year old pitcher who had a 7.50 ERA in AAA last year in 5 starts but who has had two great starts so far this year
#8: Brooks Lee - 24 in AAA, hitting .300 with a .664 OPS in 3 games, 10 ABs. Jumped from A to AAA in 2024
#9: Gavin Cross - 24 in AA, hitting .270 with a .688 OPS. Spent last year in AA and hit .261 / .770 with 15HR and 30SBs
#10: Gabriel Hughes 23 in AA, 6.21 ERA last year in 14 starts across A+ and AA. Good so far this year with a 2.25 ERA in 2 starts at AA
All of those players are much older than Green, none are looking like superstars yet though I'd certainly rather have the two pitchers at this point.
