sure...I can see an avenue where Rojas, Boleman, or Borthwick go at #13. Though, I don't see Rojas dropping to us, tbh. It's close...you're seeing some drop off in a few early Top 10 mockers, like Buress, Lebron, Peterson, Hacopian, Reese....that may cause a run on LHP prepsters to go early...like Rojas.

I don't think Robbins lasts until 32. He's just been that good this year.

I agree that they should lean toward a high-ceiling starter.

They have high-ceiling OFs (Baez/Peete) in the minors for the first time in a while. Blaze Jordan also looks promising as a 1B/DH to use against lefties and rest Burly.

there's a kid named Martin Shelar...leading the country in HR on the HS level. From Marist, GA...he would be a fantastic bat to get at 32 or 50.

look him up on Youtube. He's killing it.

Three top 50 picks this summer
Two top 35 picks next summer
Some return this July from trading May/Romero/etc.
A couple Int'l adds

That would be some real depth by July 2027. Hope everyone stays healthy and keeps developing.
might not happen
They keep this up, and they gotta think about adding

Peete and Cijntje ....and a lot of pundits have Fajardo in the Top 10.

and we might add to our Top 10 in July with the #68 and #72 picks in the draft....acquired from Seattle/Tampa in the Donovan trade.

it all depends on whom we select...what type of prospect they are.
can't wait
