This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I don’t know him at all so take this with a serious by cards86
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.
