I know literally nothing of the Bucs draft. Never heard of any of these guys outside of Skenes. Hopefully, he wins a few CYs and MVPs for the Pirates. If that happens, this draft is a success, independent of whatever the other players do.

<t>I read that this year’s draft was weird because of COVID. The 2020 draft was only five rounds, so lots of guys went the college route and are now draft eligible. NIL money also seems to impact kids and make it more difficult to lure them away from college.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> College baseball ...

<t>I’m hoping they use the money they’ll likely save on the Jebb pick to take someone with high upside in the third round. Jack Hurley is my first choice. Lefty outfielder who probably plays better in PNC. But, there’s a number of top prospects still on the board. In addition to Hurley, Travis Sykor...

Pirates have the third pick tomorrow. Jack Hurley, #38 prospect according to MLB, is still available. Hoping the Bucs gamble and pick him, even if it means punting on the next couple of rounds. Many thought Hurley might go in the first round.

Major issue is that the Pirates will never pay for a pitcher like Skenes OR a bat like Crews. They need both. But won’t pay for either outside of the draft. Hopefully, they can at least get one tonight.

I’m 100% Crews, but am warming to the idea of Skenes. I think he’s probably one of the top 50 pitchers in baseball right now.

Pretty self explanatory. But put your selection in the comments. If you were BC, who would you take 1:1?

<t>I've been traveling a lot the last few weeks, so haven't been reading this board or watching many games. So, apologies if this has already been discussed.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I've noticed a few times where Delay is brought in to replace Hedges at C, and Palacios is brought in to replace Davis ...

If they’re going to insist on not putting Davis at catcher, I’d rather they DH him and put Cutch in RF.

I totally understand the idea behind debuting him at home. But that means they just played six very important division games...
