I agree with you about Everett possibly being a 13, especially based on his training history so far - a case against that would be his slow SI development so far. Forsythe I think is a candidate to go the other way with his POT, and he wouldn't project too well as a 12 especially being underdeveloped already. In the end, I felt that all of them would need a boost in their outlook to project well, and I thought Lawrence offered the best chance. He's the youngest guy and showed good SI growth so far, and has the best control projection of any of the pitchers. I've been careful not to discount the pop/stamina scouting report - one of the greatest pitchers of all-time had that. Of course Lawrence will never turn into that, and there's a good chance he's nothing (his stats certainly aren't great). But the other guys could easily be nothing as well...

But worried his vel is already mostly dead. Guys with vel that low tend to get BABIP'd pretty hard. Given that, I can see Lawrence as the pick. I'm more worried about his amateur performance than his scouting.

That is what made me like him even without a hit comment. If Power could go to there and being a 15 maybe PD and BC go high too I thought I could overlook a lower BA and live with him at 3B.

I haven't seen enough drafts to know Good or bad boards but think I did alright with this selection. http://brokenbat.org/player/290944 Updated Friday, May 20 2022 @ 9:00:29 am PDT

Thrilled with this 19 year old 63 overall: Carlos Cano First 2 spring training starts have been promising!!!
