Draft!

Holy crap we are bad. Pit us against a half decent team and we shrivel up. BUT! Crap we had a nice draft! Choice is lookin good in vancouver. Yordy Cabrera is, well, not my favorite. Lots of people seem to love him, including lots of scouts, but fact is hes a high school kid who will be 20 soon. Until I see some numbers, I will remain unimpressed. It'll be really interesting to see where he starts the season though, I'm gonna guess AFL...interesting to see when he goes into full season ball next year. Kind of has to right, given the age? Iono. Love the Shipman and Lewis picks for some reason. Or rather, I like Shipman, sounds like a really promising talent. All these young high school bats, they all interesting shiny new toys, gotta wait though to see if theyll perform, gotta be careful to not judge em immediately too given how young and far from the majors they are. After that not too much. Vail is not exciting, Thompson, while interesting, I'm kinda doubting at this point will amount to much. Matt Thomson though. Holy crap lets talk Matthew Thomson. Dude is annihilating Vancouver. Apparently he was a reliever in college? Goddamn, good on the A's for thinkin he can start, cause holy shit can the kid start. Sickles didnt even give him a mention in his draft review of the A's, I can't really find anything about him. Be cool if he could get a bump to kane county, pitcher friendly park too boot so you kinda figure he'd take to it well. Must not rush tho...so hard to not get excited about new prospects.
