2025 MLB Draft Room ~ Thread, Mocks, Discussion, Draft Boards

The dream is that somehow some way the top four teams lose their minds and Ethan Holliday falls to the Cardinals

anything can happen. I don't think it will happen, but it might. We're in that period where Bonus Demands and Offers are exchanged. We'll see how it unfolds.

There's a very good sequence of events to where he falls to the Rockies. I think there's been more than a few mocks that have went that way. And if JJ can fall to #7, I think he could fall to #5. Now, most of them seem to think that there's no way that the Rockies, with their Holliday connection, pass on him, but the Rockies are dumb. Don't ever count out a dumb team's ability to do dumb things.

And, if you are conspiracy minded, we know that leagues can rig these things. Maybe MLB owes BDWII a favor.

there still might be a chance a Irish or a Witherspoon sneaks into the Top 5. Teams always look for the underslot when the draft is weak up top.

Would not be shocked if Hernandez goes to Rockies. They see what a boost that Skeenes has done for Pittsburgh national attention. Hernandez can be that type of pitcher in a couple of years. Seattle does not want to spend its max on the third pick due to they don’t view the talent worth it. If they can get a player to accept the @$7.5 million minimum that would save them $2 million extra to use. They may convince one of the highly rated hs players to put out the word as to needing @$5 million to sign and have him fall to them at #35.
