@GowagsKyle Ozzie made 281 errors and still has a .978 FP. Volpe has a .970 FP comparing arguably the greatest fielding SS OAT through home runs is a gimmick. The SS position didn’t hit home runs at that time and you know that.
@LJMaximo@MLB@MLBNetwork I completely disagree but whatever you say man. The best college guys get to prove how good they really are in Omaha, then get drafted a month or so later, the HOF gets their recognition and if you miss the HOF induction then you’re just out of the baseball loop I guess.
@LJMaximo@MLB@MLBNetwork That doesn’t change anything. You really think coaches want to make roster moves leading up to the season? Most of the time the rosters are set in stone after fall semester ends. Them always recruiting has nothing to do with it
@LJMaximo@MLB@MLBNetwork Right so there’s never a graduated senior worth drafting? Highly unlikely and could and would screw over highly talented mature baseball players but whatever man.
@LJMaximo@MLB@MLBNetwork So hs kids have to enroll in one semester before finding out if they can be drafted, coaches have to scurry to find a replacement after their guys got drafted BEFORE the season, and graduated seniors have to go on with life and be hopeful? That doesn’t seem a small percentage.
@LJMaximo@MLB@MLBNetwork And what about graduated seniors that are draft hopefuls? Are they supposed to just get on with life for 6 more months and train (and not be in the best possible shape) because they’re waiting for the draft? This doesn’t work with baseball the way it works with football man.
@LJMaximo@MLB@MLBNetwork And that’s another 6 months you have ti wait to get drafted and draft, a lot can happen in those 6 months. Drafting mid season and just after the high school and college seasons end is when players are in their best shape, thus giving them and scouts the best looks.
