Scrubs

I was there as well, the only time I saw Jordan play!

I couldn’t disagree more with this take. Braun was a true freshman who got plugged into 1B midseason due to team necessity, at a position he did not play in high school, despite what the uninformed Perfect Game profile readers claimed.

Though I’m not of the opinion that he was flawless, his fielding percentage would say otherwise. What I saw was someone who played the position solidly for a college level player and above average for a true freshman with very little prior experience. While I don’t think he’d be a bad OF, I also don’t think he has the overall athleticism to be an above average OF. Whereas, given an entire offseason of field work, he does have the capacity to become a consistent above-average defensive 1B, which is more about technique than raw athletic (Tre Morgan was the rare exception here).

Braun’s frame isn’t enormous but 6’0” is more than fine for college, where ability to scoop a ball out of the dirt is vastly more important than having a massive frame. If anything, I don’t see his “body type” fitting the mold of a college OF. Receiving the ball from the left side also helps (a specific play in the SECT comes to mind).

I’m willing to bet on Braun as a long term option at 1B, especially given his bat.

Agree completely, I think of all the IF spots(short of Milam coming back) Braun at 1st may be just about written down in pen.

Been to Omaha 3 times, been to the zoo 3 times.

Next time I go to Omaha, I will go to the zoo.

It's the best zoo I have ever been to.

whatever you do, eat at Duckfat in portland, the best fries I think I've ever had, obviously fried in duckfat lol.

To be fare, Chase Shores made good money.

He absolutely will get the chance to start, but if he isn’t killing it I coild see him ending up on the pen, because this years performance isn’t getting him first round money if he does it next year.

I think we should go after at least 1 sure starter and a second guy with experience.

I would expect at least 1 weekend starter to be signed and 3-4 additional guys that can provide steady consistent outings out of the pen.

This would provide a good mix from returning guys, experienced transfers and freshman.

This is exactly what I was thinking about Evans, he could be drafted high if he can replicate what he did as a freshman as a high level reliever a la Chase Shores. I really loved his role, maybe he makes the leap, but even in his best outings, he didn't get you far in a game as as starter. It would be such a luxury to have him step into the middle of a close game if we can get another starter to take his place.

I wish it tasted like the original honestly.

I have EGO everything, I love all my other tools, even the polesaw(which I do not have the oiler issue with) I have had 4 chainsaws replaced under warranty because the oiler will quit working.

I would not recommend the chainsaw because of this.
