I mean if someone is stupid enough to pay it then why not. To me though, it sounds like this kid doesn't think he can cut it in the Majors so he's getting all he can now. Nothing wrong with that btw, just probably not the type of player we need and could count on next year.Quote:

Just picked up a 2 way player from South Carolina Upstate. Noah Sullivan. 1B, DH, P. .324 average with 17 hrs. 8-1 record as a pitcher. Had offers from Clemson, Duke, South Carolina and TCU.
High upside pickup from Lemonis out of the portal.
Right and he needs work. He's still very raw and needs polish. He's not Skenes. We crossed him off after he asked for ridiculous money.Quote:

I just think the lack of info gets under people's skin. And honestly, that's baseball recruiting for the most part. Even with the portal, it's not like basketball and football where OV's are announced and reporters have a lot of info.
Just to post his full stats:
.324 BA, .453 OBP, .613 SLG, 17 HRs, 56 RBIs, and BBs more than he K's with 37:31
8-1, 4.88 ERA, 75.2 IPs, 51 Ks, 22 BBs. 1.295 WHIP isn't great, but I'll trust Parker if we decide to go the pitching route with him.
ETA: I think this is a HELL OF A PICKUP by Lemonis.
This is the best of the 3 Imo
I agree. Just watching some video on the kid and he has a nice compact swing with very good bat speed and a very disciplined hitter at the plate.Quote:

Not a good pitcher.
Good get overall.

I've noticed that as well. If nothing else we should be able to put the ball in play.Quote:
