[craviduce]

2 months from the 2025 Draft. Let's do a poll to see where we're at as a community This is for fun. We'll try to do another in a month...this is a strange draft...you're likely to change your mind many times over the next 2 months.

I have, arguably, the top 13 or so players in most mocks in the poll. ENJOY!!!.

no info on Holliday and Willits, sorry


Holliday ~ Pedigree and Best Power

Willits ~ Best Hit and Best All Around

Carlson ~ Best Defense....most likely to stick at SS

-----------------

NOTE ~~~~ POLL WILL LAST until Thursday Noon!!!

we'll show updates continuously until then!!

Thanks! I picked who I thought would be available at #5.

that's the best thing about this ....there's no wrong way to do it.

It's all Fun. So many different angles we can take as fans!!!

Fun poll. I took Jamie Arnold, but I doubt he's sitting there at #5.

[Monsieur De Treville]

I chose Shedeur Sanders! He's legendary and deserves to be a first round pick from what I've heard!

[bfib]

Would love to get Holliday. We desperately need some power hitters

[craviduce]

I've kept my pick at where I was a month ago...

I'll share once the poll closes

----

24 responses so far....5 prospects with 3 or more votes....that sums up what the pundits feel about this draft....no clear front runner. This is going to be fun final 2 months.

Little Bump to keep the thread/poll going. Help us keep it on the front page the next 3 days!!! Thanks

+1 he got my vote

Yup. Don’t see Holliday or Hernandez being there.

two sport player, like his pops. I can't wait for his interviews with prospective teams at the Combine in Phoenix

Holliday if he's there. (He won't be)
Then Arnold and then Hernandez if they are there (doubt it)

Then the best hitting SS we can get who could move to 3B. I think it'll be Arquette's college bat here.

If he's gone, I'll just let craviduce and the board pickem for a HS SS bat here.

If not that, it' will be the best college RHP. Is that Brenner? In fact I suspect it will be college RHP before HS SS.

Bremner has been pretty stout the last 5 weeks. Collazo was on BA's Monday podcast and he mentioned Bremner's resurgence...after a horrible start to his season. His strike outs have gone way up. That's why I listed him on the poll. He might just sneak his way back up into the Top 10 come draft day.

[Ronnie Dobbs]

I picked Holliday. I know there's little chance he'll be there, but hey, we said the same thing about JJ last year.

After that, I think I'd go Arnold then Hernandez.

Thanks Craviduce. It's good that the top college RHP option is viable if the Cardinals shy away from a prep SS not named Holliday. Also might get a below slot deal in place and save money for later in the draft.

IMO there are two elite talents with potential to be superstars, Hernandez and Willits. If you get a shot at one of them you take it.

[Whatashame]

Another bat would be nice but you can’t have enough good pitching. I would love to find another Bobby Witt, who wouldn’t but a rotation of
Arnold/Hernandez
Liberatore
McGreevy
Matthews
Pallante
sure sounds good.
