Cason just cracked the big league rotation in 2029 in my OOTP save if that gives anyone any hope

There is the HS kid some were clamoring about. Dax Whitney next and I will attempt a backflip right here at work. Is there any consensus on if Monty will be below slot? Saw that mentioned last night.

Seems like good value with Cason. I'm wondering about signability tho? I typically assume round 1-10 guys will sign unless I'm given a good reason to believe otherwise. It's definitely unorthodox to do it in the later day two rounds, but Brooks Brannon was a 9th rounder so it happens. Brannon also signed for much less than I think people assumed he might, let's hope history repeats itself.

All these guys I thought were computer generated that I recognize my OOTP sim. PJ Morlando came off the board yesterday literally as I was promoting him for his MLB debut in 2027

3 OF 5 P Go, go, go. Not a SS in sight.

Listed as a two-way player, drafted as a SS. Do I have that right? They announced him as a 2-way player

Seems like good value with Cason. I'm wondering about signability tho? Strong history on top 10 picks. Was it just Brandon Kline who didn't sign? fired up on this 1, tho think would have preferred to seen him as a pitcher. either way.. Big win.

Cason is def overslot. Clarke maybe 50/50, Montgomery a possibility. With zero senior signings, I wouldn't expect there is much money left.

This draft class has a little bit of everything so far love it we’ll see in a couple how it pans out.

Did not expect to see a kid from Northern Essex Community College get drafted in the Top 10 rounds.

Got to imagine Carson probably is a starter given his reports of batting

As best I can tell Cason is one of the ten youngest players taken in the draft (I think he's #7), all the younger ones went in the top 100 picks

I really really really like the ideal of taking a chance and trying to develop more two way players.
Of course he's not the next Ohtani, and it's more probable than not that somewhere down the line he ends up focusin on one side of the ball.
But I still really really really like it. Did I mention I really like it?

Yesterday everyone was ragging on me for wanting pitchers and no SS's. Looks like Breslow took my advice.

I would guess that Cason being a two way player is a concession the Sox gave him. It seems like he's been presenting himself as a hitter in the pre draft process, so Sox probably want him to pitch.

He’s young enough let him start in the FCL next year see if it takes if it doesn’t he’s still 19 get him back on the mound

Level of competition matters. Just drafted 7/225 by Texas. A few Bucknell guys already drafted. Patriot League Alumnus here, so I keep my eyes open. Not disputing that some great players come out of some not-so-prominent baseball programs, but he wasn't facing the same pitchers as the Oklahoma State guy. He obviously has hitting talent. I wish him well.

I wish him well. I was not disagreeing! I just thought it was funny he was drafted very shortly after people referenced him. Obviously enough there to give him a try.
