Not a fan of our second round pick. Hopefully he comes in well under-slot, but there were some good players available. 

The system desperately needs talent, so reaching for a guy who wasn't ranked in the first 3-4 rounds is disappointing. Hopefully we're going heavy on prep players with upside tomorrow.

I don't understand why you pitch to Trout there. 2 outs, man on second. Walk him every damn time.

Yep, especially after he took Cook deep yesterday too. 

They need to start making the rest of their lineup do something. Stop giving Trout pitches to hit.

Hamels isn't great, but he's probably the best we can realistically hope for. I don't want to trade any of our few decent prospects for a pitcher when we're going to be facing the Yankees/Red Sox in a 1 game playoff. (assuming we don't blow the WC)

With his salary and option/buy-out he shouldn't cost much.

Would be ok with this. Could spread the rotation out to give Paxton - Felix more time off between starts. And would be a decent insurance for a potential Leake-Gonzalez-LeBlanc blow up/injury/fall back to earth.

Good news & bad news on the prospect side today.

We signed 1 of the top IFA prospects.

Noelvi Marte

This is one of the more exciting power hitters in the class. Marte has thunderous, pull-side power that should be plus at peak, perhaps more. He has a long, slow leg kick that doesn't add much right now as most of Marte's power comes from pure hand speed and strength. With broad, tapered shoulders and a sizeable lower half, he body comps to Jonathan Schoop. His size prohibits projection at shortstop on its own, and Marte's hands and arm are also problemtatic. Realistically, he projects to third base. He has the raw power to profile there comfortably if he hits.

but Sam Carlson had TJ surgery...

Been a terrible year for his development. Spent the whole season rehabbing just to have TJ anyway. Won't see him until 2020, and probably not in the majors until at least 2024.
