It sucks because if Scooble didn't exist, I think Sanchez would be like the premier NL guy.

But Skeens does exist, and Sanchez is kind of the two to Skeens is A, or the two to Skeens is one.

BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

So I'll go Christopher Sanchez.

I like the pick, Pat.

Pat, who's your pick?

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Let's hear it.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

So I'm going with the guy who had his cup of coffee in the majors last year and didn't do necessarily great, but earned himself a long-term contract.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I'm going with Samuel Basayo.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Oh, that's a good one.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

Last year, 31 games in the majors, four home runs, 15 RBI, only a 165 average and a 559 OPS.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

But if you look at his AAA stats from last year, this is a guy who hit 270, 966 OPS, 23 home runs, 67 RBI.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

So the hit tool has always been there.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I don't know if he necessarily projects out as a long-term catcher, but he'll spell Adley every now and then.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

He'll get some innings a catcher.

The big thing with me, with Basayo, is I think the perfect guy to kind of mentor him and learn from is Pete Alonzo.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I think having Pete in that locker room,

Baseball Isn’t Boring

Taking him under his wing, whether it be plate approach, swing, playing first, whatever it may be.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

I think it's going to do all the good in the world for him.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

And then not to mention his spring training stats this year.

Baseball Isn’t Boring
BIB Notes: Predictions, Predictions, And More Predictions

29 trips to the plate.
