Even if we take Holliday and give him the biggest bonus in the bonus pool eta (currently condons $9.25 mil) we’d still save over $800k against our pool

Would anyone like a left handed Scherzer?

That entire Tennessee team is full of a bad combination of douche bags and meatheads

I would still consider Doyle at #1. He's a hell of a pitcher.

Lawd Doyle is insane. He’d probably kill someone on the Beltway on the way to the park

I don't think Holliday's swing and miss bothers me as much. Let's be honest, his hitting coach is going to be Matt Holliday. And Matt fixed his other son in an offseason.

I know Holliday is likely better, but I'm really, really, really hoping on Doyle.

This is how I feel as well. Starting to lean Doyle because I feel like this team can use a personality like this. Just a pitbull.

Doyle's secondaries are average at best. He has a ton of reliever risk.

IanRubbish · « **Reply #235 on:** June 05, 2025, 02:12:13 pm »

Issue with Holliday is his age and his agent. Good chance he's not a key contributor until '28, when MacKenzie Gore will be gone. Doyle does not seem to be Boras.

From the K Law chat today:

Alek: Any updated 1/1 news? All other things equal, i think Doyle fits the nats window better, though being a SP hes much riskier than Holliday.

Keith Law: I’ll do a mock either next week or the week after, have to check the schedule. Personally I am still wide open. If Doyle hadn’t been overused last weekend, I probably would flip him back up to #1 on my own list over Holliday. Now I’m torn.

I’m still a heavy Holliday lean fwiw.

Anderson has more 1-1 momentum than Doyle with Callis and crew. They still have Holliday as most likely, Hernandez second most likely, then Anderson.

Holliday. Then use the draft position to pick up a pitcher or two. Like Sykora in the third round two years agho.

I think the one really good thing about Holliday is he will soften the blown when he comes up in 5 years at the same time Wood leaves in FA. Unless Wood is traded prior to that.

Anderson is elite but I’d take Doyle over him if we are going pitching.

Doyle got lit up today in the super regional.

Doyle will be fine. Could be argued Anderson isn’t even the best pitcher on LSU currently. Eyanson is. Check him out, he’s pitching vs WVU Eyanson is the truth. I can see him making his way into the first round if this run stays alive, but would absolutely love the Nats to draft him in the second round at 49 if he doesn’t go in the first.

Mattionals · « **Reply #243 on:** June 09, 2025, 09:39:41 am »

I think Doyle is that guy who will develop into a nasty pitcher. That fastball plays up, and even if there is reliever risk, it's closer risk. I'd love to see him in a Nats uni, and go 1-1. It's a Pirates-esque move like they did with Skenes, but the Pirates did quite well on that one.

Kevrock · « **Reply #244 on:** June 09, 2025, 05:03:03 pm »

Latest MLB mock has Kade Anderson 1-1 to the Nats, Doyle 1-2 to LAA, Holliday 1-4 to the Rockies.

I'd be pretty disappointed if it turned out this way.

Kade is a lefty and has a much higher ceiling.

Eyanson will easily be there in the second round.

Is his ceiling higher though if he throws low 90s? I guess maybe he can dance around the plate better so you could be right. Just curious if that is going to hurt him at the next level?

This time of year they normally start mixing up the mocks, either because things or changing or just to generate clicks idk

Yes, he has a legit four pitch mix, and his fastball grades out at 60. It has touched 96 and he’s a draft eligible sophomore with some development left in his frame.
