I don't see why everyone is so confident that the Nats are picking Holliday. They already have Holliday in James Wood. I think they go Willits82birds wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 14:49 pm whoa
Eli Willits #1 in this mock.
I doubt that but I really like who this mock has the Cards taking:

I've seen some mocks having Hernandez as high as 2 and 3. He is the only pitcher in the draft mentioned as a potential #1 Ace that I've seen.82birds wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 17:14 pmyou talking about Seth Hernandez?Shady wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 16:56 pmHernandez and Roby might be just as good of a potential RH combo in the future.82birds wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 16:53 pmbut for them, quite the coup if they can pull it offFuturegm2 wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 15:15 pmCincinnati getting Burns last year and Hernandez this year would be scary.82birds wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 14:49 pm whoa

don't think the Cards are drafting him per Jim Callis
He's also a high school pitcher, so the bust potential is very high and if he does pan out, it'll be 4-5 years down the road.Shady wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 18:32 pmI've seen some mocks having Hernandez as high as 2 and 3.

yes, very intriguing.
Not sure I understand your point. Wood is an outfielder and Holiday is a SS/3Bbillybaseball wrote: ↑02 Jun 2025 16:56 pmI don't see why everyone is so confident that the Nats are picking Holliday.

Along this line I would be curious using the last 10 years as a measuring stick, how many selected high school players taken in the 1st or 2nd rounds went on to actually be a productive major leaguer for the team that chose them? I get the potential aspect of it. You get to select a high tool player and stick them in the system and forget about for a few years as they develop and learn. It seems to me though that is also the down fall. You take a young man just reaching his prime years for wine, women and song. Give them some money to play with and then ask them to be a star. I just cannot remember how many have actually gone on to be a regular in the next 3 to 5 years. Seems to me rounds 1 thru 4 at least should be reserved for college players. At least you have them a season or two in the advanced leagues, and have had a chance to be social to determine if they have the character and drive to go further. Let's be honest. Like most anything in life it is not so much the physical tools that stop promising careers so much as a loss of focus and drive to live the dream one day. Also, you can have all the physical tools but if you don't have the smarts to know what your strengths and weaknesses are you can never be your best you.
and reading Goold's yesterday-chat this morning, he said impact bat, not pitcher, is most likely what the Cards draft.
I wouldn’t mind a pitcher in the first round and then getting someone like Petry in the 2nd round if he could make it to 55. Or just go impact bat in the first round and still take Petry in the 2nd round.82birds wrote: ↑03 Jun 2025 08:20 amand reading Goold's yesterday-chat this morning, he said impact bat, not pitcher, is most likely what the Cards draft.
Big LH power bat. And I think Holliday ends up in LF tooTy Webb wrote: ↑03 Jun 2025 07:18 amNot sure I understand your point.

I have to agree with BA on this one...from what I heard this morning, Washington likely goes the Prep route, save some money and draft Holliday, Hernandez or Willits.
Big LH power bat. And I think Holliday ends up in LF too
Who do you consider "impact bat" in the 1st round outside of Willits/Holliday? Arquette, Carlson and Parker all seem too unsure a thing to pick at #5.Futuregm2 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2025 08:34 amI wouldn’t mind a pitcher in the first round and then getting someone like Petry in the 2nd round if he could make it to 55.

emerging .... Summerhill from Arizona has returned successfully from 2 injuries this spring. He's a legit hitter, fielder, runner...could be an option if they want a College Bat...other than Arquette.3dender wrote: ↑03 Jun 2025 10:17 amWho do you consider "impact bat" in the 1st round outside of Willits/Holliday?
