Its entirely possible that the Pirates go with different guys, simply to get under slot. I'd actually say its a pretty good chance.

Dollander's understanding of metrics and willingness to work makes him Rizzo proof. He specically took a NIL deal to get access to the pitching analytics machines and coaching to improve himself. I think he could be special.

Rizzo's entire front office MO is to reject science and data and lean heavily on the scouts and his own gut. I'm not sure anyone is Rizzo-proof.
