They said the same thing about Dustin Pedroia, I believe. Some guys develop pop later than others. All I hope for is that he SIGNS and doesn't bust like Burke did. He did not sound too excited on his phone interview....
Just to be clear, I know jack squat about most of these guys, just providing information. I tweeted a video of Foltynewicz earlier and will post some videos of Delino Jr too.
No, Matt. You have to post roll-eyes or something negative about the selection of high school and/or college players you have never seen play and whom you've only formed opinions about based on what someone else said about them. You must have missed the memo.
yes. they should have known when they signed matsui that delino would be available at this spot. otherwise, the matsui signing was pure gold.
Whatever we think of our picks, at least we aren't the Cubs...they are getting killed for WAY over reaching for their selection.
Alright... now officially bored with this. Waiting for the first announcer to say "terrible pick... will never make the big leagues". We already know that a good chunk of these guys will never amount to much... but judging from these guys' comments, every player is going to be a future all-star.
Yeah but I seriously doubt we take him. We need power though. Harold Reynolds is such an asshat. He corrected himself when he was right. Cleveland picks 5th and this isn't my job
If according to Carl Herrera, Chase Budinger is the black Joe Johnson... does that make Delino DeShields the white Dustin Pedroia?
That's because they are judging on what these players have the potential to become. Nobody in their right mind would shoot down a first rounder in baseball because its the luck of the draw. Harold Reynolds could knock a future hall of famer and look more and more like the asshat he is.
And something we REALLLYYY need in the system since most of our power is old, or just declining at the top level
Count it.... Funniest thing I read all night, sir. If I had the ability to rep you, it would have been done. Seriously though, if he even has half the heart that Pedroia has, I would be satisfied with the pick.
