Excited to be going to my second opening day. Hope it is warmer and with a LOT less rain than last time. I'm too old for that crap.

Oof. Ohtani may have ****ed up BIG time. He or his translator stated he'd wired money personally to cover his translators gambling debts. Guessing both his own people and the Dodgers immediately jumped on how bad that is and changed the story to his translator stole it all. Federal investigators already involved.

So the Royals really have a guy in camp named Kale Emshoff, and this kid's parent's couldn't have done us all a favor by naming him Jack? C'mon... Thanks for nothing.

Did you even watch the postseason? Carter slashed .300/.417/.500 in 72 postseason plate appearances. He was arguably the third best position player for the Rangers after Corey Seager and Adolis Garcia in the postseason. |

From Baseball America this spring: No player better fits that bill than Evan Carter, a highway robbery of a draft pick as part of a stunningly excellent 2020 draft class that should produce four major leaguers out of its five selections. |

Probably not a popular opinion, but Pratto ought to be our 1B most of the time w/ Vinnie getting mostly DH work. Pratto might turn into a pumpkin in the regular season, but he's earned his spot, IMO.

It was a 5 round draft. Saggese will be a major leaguer and have a pretty long MLB career, IMO. Foscue has been exactly as advertised (great feel for the zone; decent power/speed set from a competent defensive 2b) - I suspect he'll have a 6-8 year MLB career as well and will likely be a WAR darling if he ever gets the starting 2b gig. Carter is a possible superstar. What he did at his age in the post-season suggests someone with that flat heart rate that you need to really transition well to the big leagues. He may just be an MVP candidate in the next 3-5 years. Roby is a pitching prospect. Who the hell knows? But he's already been instrumental in getting a vital starting pitcher for them. If he never touches a big league mound, he was a hell of a 3rd round pick. Yeah - the Rangers strafed the 2020 draft. You really can't do it much better than they did.

If the Cardinals could actually develop players at the big league level at all, they'd have had a hell of a 2020 draft as well.
Walker, Winn and Burleson have all seen big league action (and all 3 should actually be pretty good players but the Cardinals **** everything up). Hence is a top 50ish pitching prospect. Bedell has made really nice strides and seems on track to make a big league bullpen in the next couple seasons. I'd say their draft compared favorably to Texas in raw talent. But the Cardinals will ruin all those guys somehow.
