Re: Rocker's stock, sometimes guys get too "seen" in scouting circles and start to get knocked for silly things.
His velo was down a little for a month or so, and he hasn't been as crazily dominant as he was a freshman. People think he's maxed out physically. I'll take him and laugh all the way to the playoffs on his back and legs if he falls to #7. I actually see some similarities to Max Scherzer as a college. He's got a dynamite FB-SL combo and just physically dominates guys. Entered his junior year with a potential 1st overall tag, and slipped a little for silly reasons. |

The other what if for me (outside of the obvious one to send Gordo) is if Ned subbed Nori (0-17 lifetime against MadBum) in either of his AB’s for Josh Willingham. Ah well. |
If Rocker were to fall to us, then I'd literally cum on this board.

Even in a losing season baseball is a fun experience in person. but you have made clear your heat intolerant. Try to remember your experience has nothing to do with others. |

Dude, a lot of these guys have known about Kumar Rocker since he was a high school player and a potential first round pick for the Royals in the 18 draft. Because I’ve been talking about him since then. People are enamored of him because he’s a 6-5 freak who can run his fastballs into the high 90s, has a wipeout slider, and has absolutely dominated the highest level of college baseball. He’s the type of guy who shouldn’t make it out of the top 3 picks, and a bunch of teams seem to be about to convince themselves to chase a higher variance commodity (HS bats) instead of him. |

That is not at all what you're dealing with concerning Rocker. |
Old friend alert:
Eric Hosmer is in one of his patented god awful weeks long slumps. Getting outbid was likely the best thing that could have happened for GMDM. |
