Not sure how I feel about this.

But I guess I'll trust the process. Maybe they're trying to be as aggressive as possible with these 2021 picks to see what they have going forward.

Could be they're going cheap with the rotation to save money for Ohtani?

What about Barria?

Maddon has already said he likes Barria for long relief and doesn't want to remove him from that spot.

I'm excited for his debut and can't wait to watch!  This season has been so much fun!!!

[Barf]

Another no-no incoming?

But seriously though good luck to the kid and congrats

What about Jhonathan Diaz?

Either way, i'm excited if true. Needs to be added to the 40-man but the great Perry draft of 2021 is about to begin.

They just sent Diaz down so I don't think he can be called up at this time.

That was fast…I wonder when we’ll see Bachman

It was a joke.

If he keeps on progressing as he is, I for one wouldn't be shocked to see him at some point this season.

Can you imagine our homegrown rotation of: Ohtani, Detmers, Sandoval, Silseth and Bachman to go along with one of Syndergaard/Lorenzen or someone else via trade or free agency at end of this season?

This got me to thinking. I would love to sign Syndergaard to an extension.

Sandoval was acquired in a trade, so not really "homegrown."  Your larger point still stands, though!

We definitely need Syndergaard. Having that experienced, TOR piece is important to compete against the top teams out there. And I’d imagine he’s a great mentor since he’s an amazing clubhouse guy.

But yeah, I’m stoked about the up and coming youngins in the rotation—the future looks brighter than it ever has imo.

[Second Base]

Silseth is the real deal. Promoted to the big leagues less than a year after being drafted. Absolutely filthy split-change that I just call a splitter. His command can be spotty, but it's undeniable, of he spots his pitches, he's going to get major league hitters out.

@mmc, Chuck is beating you at your own game. I expected you to post this stuff first.

[Warfarin]

What a meteoric rise.  Is he the first player drafted in the 2021 draft to have made an MLB appearance?  I would have to think so, yes?

@mmc had to put his lifetime dog down a day or two ago, I'm sure he's probably grieving. 

Really tough to lose our furry family members. I know it took me a while to get over Archie.

I was scanning Baseball Reference draft page and looks like he will be the first. He is also an 11th round pick.  

*I just read a note that they have not yet matched the 2021 debuts to their draft into.

Damn it. Really sorry to hear that .
