TraveledLessRoad wrote: ↑27 Jun 2025 11:24 am Duce- I asked this earlier in the thread and didn’t get a reply from anyone, but is there any world where we’d take a swing at Jace Laviolette at #5? It’s a reach, but no one can deny that he has potentially the most lethal power bat in the draft. Since there really isn’t anyone we’re in love with at #5, why not go with highest-upside player

I ask this..."In a draft that is so many levels below last seasons draft in regards to top tier talent, why on earth do we want to draft a guy @ #5 who would probably go 2nd round in 2024?"

Seriously...why would we want to do that?

I've exhausted too much time on Jace...in this very thread with Shady the Troll...who then after 3 months of squawking "LaViolette" over and over again after everyone of my posts, decided to jump on my Seth Hernandez wagon, using some of my points about Hernandez.

I wish Jace the best of luck...where ever he's picked....I hope not #5.

edit ~ does he deserve to go 2nd round? Probably not, but players were falling out of the 1st round last year for much less.

Guru's insecurity has "reared it's ugly head" again. There is no reason for you mentioning me in this post. And you never knew any more about Hernandez than I did. The same with Roby. Get over yourself.

He's proven his knowledge over time, you've proven to be a pain in the rear no matter what name you use

He was wrong big time on Burleson. I wasn't. And he knows it. He often gets defensive when I discuss baseball. Why would he do that?

Craviduce is a respected poster who adds tremendous value to the board. You alienate most people with your back and forth with your sock handles and drooling obsessiveness over Burleson, Saggese, and Roby. It's that simple.

But in your delusions you are the only rational one and the problem is with everyone else. If you tried discussing baseball respectfully you would find people treating you with respect in return. But these words will go in one ear and out the other and you will resume being a royal PIA.

You are one bright light bulb, for sure. I can't ever recall you being civil in responding to me. And your sock fantasies are mind boggling. Especially, the racial sock accusation.You need to clean up your act before casting any stones.

Liar

Shady wrote: ↑29 Jun 2025 16:58 pmI agree. By the way, my top three realistic possibilities for the Cardinals at #5 are Arnold, Hernandez and Willits.

This is kind of a strange and hypothetical question, but if Nick Kurtz and JJ Wetherholt were both available at 7 last year (I know Kurtz was taken 4th), do you think the Cards would have taken Kurtz over JJ?
