He probably would have been a top five pick.

Ends up going number 12 to the Red Sox.

But it's an incredibly fluid swing, especially from the left side, with a ton of power the opposite way.

Like, the guy is on time as a hitter and is so big and so powerful that as long as he's on time, even if he hits it the other way, it can really take off.

And you saw that last night.

That is not a new thing and a new idea for him.

And he can play center field.

You know, like his future is probably in right.

Yeah, probably projects to a corner to make the most use of the arm because it is an 80-grade arm.

On the scouting scale of 20 to 80, it is widely thought to be an 80-grade arm for a guy out there who once threw 98 as a pitcher.

He threw as hard as 98 early in his college time at Stanford.

So it is a real legit five-tool dude with a beautiful fluid stroke.

who is ready, and here he is.

It's incredibly exciting.

Yeah.

It absolutely seems to be a tremendous, tremendous young man.

And Stoney spoke to that as well in our in our last hour.

But I want to focus on the idea of the trade and really trades in general, because the forced efficiency that you have to have if you are the Brewers.

or the Tampa Rays, or the Cleveland Guardians, or let's face it, the Chicago White Sox.

You have to make deals when guys are about to get paid and make the most of those deals.
