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.

The only reason you know who Rocker is is because he was an early leader in the clubhouse as the #1 pick. I don't know why anyone is so enamored over him than anyone else unless you are some college baseball junkie - which 99% of us have little to no ****ing idea

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.

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. Last edited by Chiefspants; 06-12-2021 at 10:38 AM.. |

When he was in 9th grade he was a Top 5 prospect, maybe even the best prospect. By the time he was a senior, he was downgraded and rightly so.
