As a point of reference, Cleveland took 3 college arms in rounds 2-4 in 2021 (the year of 19 pitchers), 2 in 2nd round and 1 in 4th round, and all 3 (Nikhazy, Mace, Webb) are at AA 3 years later. I think all 3 still have a chance, but none of the 3 are listed in our top 30 prospects by MLB. Fortunately, Cleveland also drafted Williams in Rd 1 and Bibbee in Rd 5. Several others from the draft remain interesting prospects with Dion and Aleman listed in the top 30 prospects.I personally feel like pick 1-1 is Condon/Bazzana...
Pick 36, is a college bat that falls...
Rounds, 2-4 all college arms...
That's how I want things to be!

The rule 5 decisions this year will be very interesting. In addition to the 2021 pitchers being eligible, you have to think guys like Enright and Torres, who were eligible in the past, are gone (Enright for the 2nd time) if they are not protected this year. I keep hoping for a trade to turn 5 good prospects into 1 great prospect.Nikhazy and Mace have been in and out of our top 30 prospects to be honest...
They are all rule 5 eligible this offseason so we will be deciding on them this season...

Yeah, came across as the same guy. 2nd try he TRIED to tone it down a bit, but his venom and issues filtered thru. Guy is obviously a baseball fan, but dude has some issues. Thanks.KFlash/Naylor has been banned 3 Months for trying to circumvent his month-long ban as KFlash.
In the future we expect proper decorum from him.
That shit made me want to run into traffic. It's like watching 5 year olds argue about which color is the bestestNo clue, we have a thread being taken up by Trevor Bauer and Kap talk.
Another HR for Condon tonight.
Yeah, I don't understand why some folks can't be generally nice.Yeah, came across as the same guy. 2nd try he TRIED to tone it down a bit, but his venom and issues filtered thru. Guy is obviously a baseball fan, but dude has some issues. Thanks.
Everything still seems so long to my amateur mind. I want to love him for what he represents but I see mlb heaters eating him up and getting him way out in front on offspeed pitches.Meatball pitch, but a nice, quick swing. His body reminds me of Richie Sexson, who also hit the ball a long way.
I tell you what would probably be real funny is seeing Condon's numbers against the much weaker pitching in the Big 12.
