lol

I did it without issue. Meh...

162. Connor O'Halloran LHP Ht: 6'2" | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-L School: Michigan Source: 4YR Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Age At Draft: 20.9 BA Grade:40/High Tools:Fastball: 50. Slider: 50. Changeup: 50. Control: 55. A native Canadian who spent three years with the 18U National Team in high school, O’Halloran had an up-and-down 2022 with Michigan, but showed solid swing-and-miss stuff and finished the year with 104 strikeouts in 92.2 innings. In 2023, he dominated early in the season and put together a career year, with a 4.11 ERA over 15 starts and 103 innings, as well as a 25.5% strikeout rate and career-low 6% walk rate. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound lefthander throws from a deceptive and low, three-quarter slot and is able to locate his low-90s fastball well to either side of the plate. He averaged 89-91 mph on the pitch this spring and touched 94, and will need to be able to spot the pitch with precision at the next level to keep hitters off of it consistently. His best offering is a high-spin slider in the low 80s, which boasted a 42% miss rate, and it was an equal opportunity bat-misser against both righties and lefties—though given his arm slot and sweepy shape, it should be more consistent in same-side matchups in pro ball. He mixes in a mid-80s changeup with some tumbling action that should be a key pitch for him to prevent platoon advantages in pro ball. O’Halloran doesn’t have the loudest pure stuff, but he could develop into a touch-and-feel back-end starter if he can add a few more ticks of velocity.

This guy will be a tough sign.

Nah man, those teams would just move into the East, have 2 division winners and the next top 4 in win % make the dance, not difficult if you ask me.

Baseball America.

I have Vlad and Garcia in the final on MLB.com Bracket with Vladito winning it.

46. Juaron Watts-Brown RHP Ht: 6'3" | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-R School: Oklahoma State Source: 4YR Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Age At Draft: 21.4 BA Grade:50/High Tools:Fastball: 55. Slider: 60. Curveball: 50. Changeup: 50. Control: 45. Watts-Brown was a standout, multi-sport athlete in high school who excelled at baseball, football and basketball. He began his college career at Long Beach State, but redshirted in 2021 to recover from an arm injury he sustained in football. When he returned to the mound in 2022, Watts-Brown was named a Freshman All-American and his draft stock exploded over the summer when he showed improved velocity and some of the best all-around pitching upside during the summer in the Cape Cod League. In his first and only season with Oklahoma State, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound righthander posted a 5.03 ERA over 15 starts and 82.1 innings and led the Big 12 with 124 strikeouts and a 33% strikeout rate. He’s a good mover on the mound with a clean, fast arm, a bit of length in the back of his arm path and a three-quarter slot. Watts-Brown averaged 92 mph and touched 95 with a fastball that had around 19 inches of induced vertical break. He used that pitch less than half the time however, thanks to a high-usage, mid-80s slider that flashes plus with hard, tight spin and looks like a real out pitch. He generated whiffs at a 53% rate with the slider, with 40% usage, and often shows better feel to land it for strikes than either his fastball, his low-80s 12-6 curveball or his mid-80s changeup. Watts-Brown has fringy control and needs to improve his fastball command to make the most of a solid four-pitch mix

Varsho's having a lower than normal batted ball luck and the power is gone, I expect him to rebound soon, I hope.

The teams in the East would stay in the East, though? The Central would get split to the East and West as it was before '94.

The solution is to go back to 4 divisions, easy peasy.

Why?

HOME RUN DERBY Picking winner: 5 Points Runner up: 2 Points Robert Jr. - mphenhef Rutschman - Garcia - Arozarena - Jonn Betts - Vladdy - JaysAllMighty, Spanky Alonso - JohnHavok Rodriguez -

First time since '93, but the highest win % of all time.

50 American money order if need be. Too bad you pussied out on the Yahoo bet, I didn't even draft that team, lol. You're terrible.

Must be better, no doubt.

A win's a win, but I concur.

7 back?

Why, this was a fantastic pick? Just cause of high school doesn't make sense.

You'd be hard pressed to find that, I think.

Rent free, bitches. Thought Kirk was your guy JFD, solid as a soup sandwich bro.

You'd think the Jays lost 12-0 in here, lmao. Brutal.

To piss you off?
