we got #2Twins jump from 13th to the 5th pick
Really wanted Crews. Can’t imagine that happens now.
Reading scouting reports, Dollander comparables are strasburg (with better mechanics) and deGrom
So he's a 50/50 shot of of making half his starts in any given season? I've lost faith over the last few years that there are any starting pitchers that can be counted on to even average 5 innings/start for a season. I don't think he's had TJ yet, so he'll certainly take a year off for that along the way.
Well, the 1-1 team often plays moneyball with the pool, and the Pirates might like a deal. That said, they signed Termarr for OVER slot last year.
Not bad at all! Lottery is stupid, but I’ll take 1-2.
I can't bring myself to say his name without a screen, but 1-2 brings to mind Dustin Ackley
I wish we could just have promotion/relegation and no need for a lottery.I know we badly need pitching, but I really don't want to roll the dice on a pitcher with this pick.
Baseball: We're instituting a lottery to prevent teams from tankingAlso baseball: Pirates get the number 1 pick
There can't be too much more of a mixed emotional sentence to hear for a 22-year-old than "You've been drafted first overall by the Pirates." Followed by the realization that if it takes you 3 years to make the majors, it's nine years before you're out of the thrall of an organization that makes no attempt to succeed in the competition in which it ostensibly competes.
