I'd given up on Cross.... I thought he was another Dayton Moore special - "high character," coach's son type player with a higher floor and much lower ceiling. Still don't see much there there, but man it would be great if he became a piece. We are so piss poor in the OF.

He has looked a lot better recently. Got Rocky Mountain fever from a tick bite a few years back and it's possible his suckage in 22 and 23 was related to that/recovery.

There's still a chance there. Early in the minor league season, but scouting reports from the spring seemed to indicate his pop had bounced back.

That shit is no joke. My old shop teacher/basketball coach from high school got it several years back after a hunting trip. He was wheelchair bound for a bit and had to relearn how to walk. He’s doing much better with a walker now, and granted, a much older man, but yeah, it can be quite debilitating even for a young man. Cross is definitely on the radar.

Cross was picked at least where he was ranked universally. Now Frank Mozzicato on the other hand...

You know who doesn't appear to be a AAAA player? Kris fockin Bubic PBJ PBJ

NW Arkansas again scoring some runs thru the 8th inning. Something like 30 runs in three games? Holy smokes. And Jac is 3 for 4 with a double, 3 ribbies and a walk today.

I've given up on MJ. I know many in here said they had to give him another chance and he's still young but he's got no use to me.

I just don’t understand why they don’t let him try to work shit out in Omaha. They did it for Gordon and Moose, and it worked for them.

He is what he is at this point. Barely a .200 hitter

Can we just switch our outfield out with Omaha's? Is that allowed?

poolboy 04-06-2025 04:25 PM

seems like Drew Waters could give us a little more pop in the outfield....didnt he just hit a cycle? Royals dont like him in the bigs for some reason

Mozzicato was just a stupid pick. I trashed it at the time, and it has just not worked out.

Don't take small, "projectable" pitchers from bad-weather states. It's pretty simple.

poolboy 04-06-2025 04:45 PM

oh, but we can develop him..thats why I like the Jac pick, at least he has a superpower

I haven't given up on him, but he needs to go to Omaha/Arkansas and figure things out.

He's not a big league caliber player right now.
