The 2013 and 2014 picks led directly to two AL pennants and a World Series title. I wouldn’t call those wasted. Starling is the worst of all of them in hindsight... but that’s also with hindsight. It hasn’t worked for various reasons. But there was nothing wrong with the pick when made. Quote:
Could go either way. Depends on what they’re seeing from those guy eyewitness and on how they do next spring. Matias absolutely needs to make more contact. He slumped over the past several weeks. A strong finish wouldn’t certainly answer some questions about him.

It has nothing to do with putting in work. He’s an incredibly hard worker. He just can’t recognize pitches and can’t hit breaking stuff. All the try hard in the world isn’t any guarantee you’ll figure out making contact. In actual prospect news, Brewer Hicklen is someone to watch. He was a multi sport guy at UAB. Big-time tools, nabbed in round 5 or so. They’ve moved him to Wilmington after a Strong first half at Lexington. Speed/power guy.

What an idiot. Like Zimmer, the sooner we never hear about him again the better.

Heard GMDM on 610 on the way home. He said he was embarrassed by the way the team played in the first half, and he feels bad for our fans.
Yeah, ya think??? |

That’s the MLb draft. Success rate once you get out of the first 3 picks plummets sharply. Starling was one of the five best athletes drafted in the past 20 years, just on raw skills. But hitting that round ball with that round bat, square... that’s not just about athleticism and effort.
