    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.

    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.

    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.

    I think this is another gripe people have. Like this kid wasn't on anyone's radar and he commits out of the blue. Looks like a great pickup tbh. 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.

    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.

    Accd to Rosey he is going to primarily DH and pitch so looks like he will at least be given the chance to do both.

    I like it. We are going to need his bat and he's an experienced arm that has won games.

    Agree. His bat could solve our DH problem. We still need to nail down a 1B, at least one OF, and probably 4-5 pitchers. Need two of those pitchers to be weekend starter caliber. Would be HUGE if we could get the kid from Ohio St.

    He's a good bat.

    Not a good pitcher.

    Good get overall.

    I'm assuming you're talking about Zach Root. There was a lot of noise right when he entered that he would go to LSU. He'll be a big get for anyone.

    I think he could play first base if needed but I suspect we're still looking for one. Nolan Stevens can also play first base.

    Definitely looks like we're prioritizing hitters with low strikeout numbers. All three that we've gotten so far have a K% under 12%.

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