Sawyer Strasnider at pick 13. OF with double plus power but falling after a really rough April.

Flukey came off the board at #12 to the Angels

thanks for posting, RunSup!!!

I'm a strong no on Strosnider at #13. I'm HUGE proponent of Condon at #13 on an underslot deal, or if Borthwick/Boleman/Rojas are available nabbing them....Condon is going to be a legit Top Tier OF. Either way, we take College OF bat at 32nd like Robbins, Sorrell, or even Grahovac (spell check) from A&M....use savings on a BIG HIGHSCHOOL player that fell out of the 1st round because of asking price at 50.

I've mocked this out so many times...I have so many scenarios going through my head LOL....and I know, they'll never be used, and none of them will fall anywhere close to how it actually happens. But don't mistake...I WANT CONDON!!!

I know it probably won't happen, but I'd love to snag Bowen, Prosek or Shelar at 50....HS bats...some big power with the last 2.

Reports say Condon has a really good hit tool and would fit right in the new Cardinal way. Callis had him going at #15. I'll go in on Condon with you.

Stronsnider has a speed tool in addition to raw power. Maybe that means he can play defense in the OF. But I have not seen him. His April of not hitting his own weight and plenty of strikeouts does not bode well.

All that said, I'd probably go with Flukey if he was there.

yeah...if Flukey is there, you have to make a decision. Same with Gracia from Virginia
