Yup, change my hope in the other thread to adding Kohl, Manaea, and Rodon in the next year (over a span of 2 drafts that is), and I am STILL happy as hell. That, to me, would be awesome. Just thought about this, but those are all lefties huh?
Agreed, I mean based SOLELY on what I read on the web, I would be all for it in picking the guy. Heh 2017 can't get here fast enough.
TCB just cited an mlbtraderumors report that the Twins will draft Stewart and the Astros will pass him over at 1-1.

Jeff Sullivan (Belchertown, MA) Any idea on Bickford's asking price? Klaw (2:29 PM) I won't repeat the number I heard, in case it's inaccurate. It's large. Ryan (Markham) Klaw - I hear the Jays have shown *no* interest in Clint Frazier. Do you think that is true, and if so, care to speculate on why that would be? Thank you Klaw (3:09 PM) I do, and I think there are a lot of reasons. Many people don't like the swing mechanically, he struggles with offspeed stuff, and he may end up a LF. He's not a lock - he's a very good prospect, but I hear readers treating him like he's the next Mike Trout, which he's not. http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/chat/_/id/48183/mlb-insider-keith-law

Perfect time to buy low, let him rest up and get fully healthy, and then hopefully help him develop into a great starting pitcher.

(@kileymcd): Hearing multiple teams are seriously looking into Florida RHP Karsten Whitson as an overslot guy in lower rounds if they save money early.
