Maybe we should talk about what a missed opportunity Snell was.
No, we're not ready for that yet. Because we're still not done talking about the Randy Johnson-for-Dallas McPherson missed opportunity.

hopefully get good picks for some years
Yeah, if we pick top five for a bunch of years in a row, we've got a chance to be the next Pittsburgh Pirates.

Why did my clever post get deleted?
Did you say "Adam Kinzinger"?

Pillar moves us closer to getting Ethan Holliday, so I'm all for this move.

Oh here we go, Dr. Swordsman is making the same argument my grandma made about why no one was ever allowed to sit on this couch.
Next Dr. Swordsman can make the case why we should just keep Trout on the IL until the end of 2030, so we don't injure him again.

I must have set my PVR up on the wrong channel.
You should get a VCR. Much less likely to set the wrong channel on one of these babies...

The Angels are not trading Detmers.
Yep, we'll hold on to that forlorn hope of keeping him long-term, right up to the moment in December 2027 when he signs a 9-figure deal with the Dodgers.

That Aussie kid is lighting it up despite pitching in the Pac 12 where offenses have been down. Not sure what his upside is tools wise, but he seems to have a very "pro" approach at the plate. Plus anyone that was playing against grown men at 15 is if nothing else somewhat tested.
I've seen a lot of Bazzana out here, but only Wetherholt a bit on TV. There are a lot of similarities.
I think Wetherholt might be a bit better pure hitter. Bazzana's swing is a bit long and has a shoulder tilt that makes him naturally uppercut. But he covers the plate well and hits to all fields well. Bazzana is showing surprising power this year, but I think in the pro game he's more like a 10-15 HR kind of guy.
One separator might be Bazzana's compete level. He's intense. He's like Lenny Dykstra minus the tobacco and the off-field nonsense.

you can add Wetherholt and Caglianone to that list as well.
Yep, that's a reasonable opinion. Chase Burns could be another, especially given the weakness at the top of the HS crop.
But I'm splitting hairs here with a distinction between "no chance" and "very small chance". I think there's at least a small chance one of Wetherholt or Caglianone gets to us at 8 overall.
Condon, Bazzana, and Smith I think there's essentially zero chance, absent a medical issue. They're all having monster seasons and are erasing the specific concerns teams might have had about them previously (Condon's contact, Bazzana's power, and Smith's command).

We're picking 8th.
We're not getting Charlie Condon, Hagen Smith, or Travis Bazzana.

O'Hoppe has said he wants to play as much as possible (I think I remember seeing something where he said he wanted to play 140+ games?). Of course, you don't always have to do what a player says--but I guess for now, they're just letting him go while he's hot.
C'mon Wash, let's get O'Hoppe to beat Randy Hundley's record....

Arte does keep an homage to Ben Franklin at home, but it's not the kind you mentioned.

The thought of this makes me break out in a sweat.
