23. Maniscalco
24. GurevitchI had Padilla at 25 and Clarke at 32. I actually thought I was being generous and giving Clarke the benefit of the doubt and putting him higher than I wanted to at 32. I think we will regret that one.
Not quite ready to pull the trigger on Guteverich yet, but have Andrew Rocco Maniscalso firmly planted at #23. I have 6 candidates in mind vying for our coveted #24 slot, so I’ll be following the ongoing posts before high noon on Wednesday’s deadline. I’m at the point where I can be swayed one way or the other……so let the swaying begin, gang!
Pugs – I think you should be good with any of the names being thrown around right now. I have all of them as my next picks after Manicalco/Gurevitch. Odle is next for me personally, but they are all in the same tier. Clarke was the only vote I was frustrated by. He’s going to likely need at least 2 full seasons of innings to hone in his craft to be prepared for throwing his pitches consistently for strikes at the MLB level. What are the odds he stays healthy to do that? It could take him 5-7 more seasons to get that many innings given his health record. At that point he’s Riley O’Brien in his 30’s starting his career and he’s moved on to a new team several times. And that’s to make it as a reliever. The odds of him becoming a starter in the MLB happen to be identical to Blutarsky’s GPA.
Based on signing bonuses alone Maniscalco (3.2M$ bonus) and Luna (2.3M$) should be in Cardinals top 10. And Eagan, Ogle, Gurevitch, and others, could easily be ranked higher than Maniscalco/Luna because they’re impressing at higher levels of development now. This is crazy, crazy, crazy.
