The Cubs catcher guy? You mean the one with the .431 wOBA in AAA who looks like the next Buster Posey? I prefer him to Crawford at this point but I'm in no position to trade either as far as my future is concerned.
Eh, I've been trolled soooo many times about Rodon, I'm immune now. For me he's something like Lance Lynn or Francisco Liriano, but in a bad park. There are some clunkers but at least the Ks are there on the whole.
Rodon is pretty decent, unless you were expecting an instant-ace. 3.89/3.96/3.97 and 2.8 WAR with 193 K over his first 196 IP, that's plenty useful. He's shaved the walk rate this year but is getting unlucky with homers.
I tend to veer away from HS arms because the roadmap is so long. I hate the idea of drafting a Kolek and missing on a Nola. Groome seems like the likely 1-1 so I would make an exception, if I ever had a pick that high.
So assuming we all think Robles is the top pick (or at least Min does, which is what matters), you must think there are 2 more current minor leagues who are slam dunks to go ahead of Groome/Puk/Ray/Lewis. Who might they be?
You have a pretty good chance to beat the record, you just need to average 10 wins per week here on out. I look forward to cockblocking your attempt in week 20, and I also enjoy that I've already ruined your chance at a perfect season.
