What's the rationale behind anybody other than Greene as the top pick, and if not him, why not Kyle Wright? Is it just the scarcity of SS for Lewis and the lefty nature of McKay? Pretty solid talent at the top in any case, I just like the look of Greene a lot.

Given the lack of "sure things" a la Harper in this draft I'm surprised Greene isn't going #1, he seems insanely talented and marketable.

Poque posted:What's the rationale behind anybody other than Greene as the top pick, and if not him, why not Kyle Wright? Is it just the scarcity of SS for Lewis and the lefty nature of McKay? The general feelings I get from why Greene wouldn't go #1 are that his non-fastball pitches aren't that good (though obviously they project to be better) and worry about his arm durability, as he's thrown a low amount of innings even for a high schooler because they shut him down early. Also high school RHP and all that. McKay and Wright are college starters so they're closer to the majors and also have higher floors, so to speak. For Lewis the scouting report I read on him projects him out to be great at the plate (every hit/run tool at least a 50) and the only thing keeping him out of the top of a lot of mocks are worries about how he projects as a defender (his arm strength is a question). Said scouting report basically said "if teams aren't worried about the defense then he's a top five pick," so maybe the Twins aren't worried about his defense. There's also the chance that they've already locked in on McKay but are using this rumor to try and get him to agree to a lesser deal so they have more bonus pool available for the 35th and 37th picks, which would allow them to get top 15-20 talent that falls due to bonus demands. As for Kyle Wright, no idea, I thought he's who the Twins were going to take. I somewhat wonder if the Twins are enamored with the possibility of using McKay in a dual role, plus the LHP thing is still a bonus.

Someone go over to the clubhouse and kiss all the boo-boos and oopsies because losing (almost) the entire starting rotation due to things like "neck discomfort" and "back discomfort" is loving horseshit. This team can't survive with three glass cannons. Hinch should just buy them all memory-foam mattress toppers and pillows since that's apparently a HUGE SOURCE OF PROBLEMs for these fucks.

I'm surprised at this point Maddon hasn't said, "Edwards, you were drafted as a starter, rub some dirt on that arm and give me six innings tonight." At which point Edwards sighs, quietly puts his glove in his locker, calmly walks out of the stadium and does a flying leap into Flushing Bay.

This team can't survive with three glass cannons. Neck problems and back problems are the precise kinds of injuries you try to get guys better from rather than having them pitch through it. They can linger if you don't get them a chance to heal. That's like saying "Elbow discomfort? Get your rear end on the mound and rub some dirt on it" e: Also the time to let them recover from these kinds of injuries is when you have a huge division lead Intruder fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Jun 12, 2017 |

It's pretty clear to me that he's saying because he's adopted he didn't literally grow inside her but that her heart (e.g. love and emotional support) is what grew him into the person he is. Or am I just getting wooshed on a run of deliberately disingenuous posts?
