grain of salt. He’s gonna have to play 2nd. No one 5’7 is gonna play SS or CF everyday in the ML - just my opinion.

What makes you think he’s gonna be a star? Tell me about him if you’ve seen him.

Every draft scouts tout the short players as the next Altuve and Pedroia. And every year they suck.

It’s a big man’s game for the most part. I cannot stand short, little players.

All that said - there are some rare exceptions.

I’ll never forget when the White Sox drafted Nick Madrigal 4th overall. I laughed. What a fucking joke.
