Ethan Small already????????? Yeah fuck you Milwaukee!!!

[Sexymarinersfan]

My current Big Board is

1.Rece Hinds
2.Josh Smith
3.Ethan Hears
4.Noah Song
And since Ethan Small just got raped off the board, Matthew Lugo(he won't be there though, he's Carlos Correa's cousin).

A's just got a very toolsy switch hitter in Davidson, can't hit with a wood bat.....yet. Tons of tools though. Love him a lot. A very Billy Beane pick.

[Sexymarinersfan]

VOLPE just went to the Yankees!!!!!!!!! Haaaaaaahahaha!! Don't know why everyone loves his bat? He's baseball smart, but he's slow and is more of a 2nd baseman

Eh, so many other guys that I love.

Kirby had a very loud performance this spring, twirling 107 strikeouts to six walks in 88 innings for Elon. He’s got at least above average command and plus control along with a plus fastball that works 91-96 and touches 97 mph. He’s got a good frame and no medical hiccups but his offspeed stuff is often just average, with the curveball flashing 55 at times and the changeup usually solid average at best. It’s a No. 3/4 starter profile that’s valued most by clubs that like performance and fastball quality/command as a leading characteristic. fangraphs

Thought it was funny when Bauer said his the about the same number of walks this season as he usually has in a game.

[Sexymarinersfan]

Omg that was hilarious!

Why is Mathew Allan still on the board?

So is JJ Goss, Brennan Mallone, and Michael Busch. Love the last 3. Not sure on Allan. Have him ranked 13th on the Big Board. All these guys should be gone by 59.

Mariners scouting director Scott Hunter says top pick George Kirby indicated he was ready to begin pro career immediately. Says not sure if he'll report to Arizona or straight to Everett once he signs.

6-4 right-hander with mid-90s fastball and excellent command.

— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) 

Why would he not be ready? Oh that's right, Mono and TJ surgery. Well that's a plus.

It looks like he has some potential.

For the 2nd round pick, I hope they go high risk, high reward.

That would be Kameron Misner!!!! Dripping with Tools!!! He oozes TONS of High Reward.If he finds his hit tool his comp is literally Mitch Haniger. I've scoured dozens of reports in search of anyone other than a comp Mariner, and I cant find anything except one name, and Haniger keeps popping up, soooooo .....

Yeah.

Dripping and oozing...eeewwww

Prospect Ranking #35. Kameron Misner, OF, Missouri
A big prototypical right fielder with large upside, Misner reminds people of Jason Heyward. Unfortunately for him, Misner struggled at the plate this spring for Mizzou.

There goes Busch!!!! Amazing hit tool. Can't play a position though. Funny he's going to the NL.

Yeah Misner is only hitting .222 right now.

Nasim Nunez is the only guy I like in there. Slick fielder, FASSST, great tools, little pop, not much though.
