So excited that we signed Ahuna and Payton.

Ahuna, in particular, was probably my favorite pick in a draft that I absolutely loved.

He hits all of my favorite chords in a draft prospect:

1. Fallen Angel. Likely first rounder coming into the year had a disappointing Draft year. We all know that prospect development is bumpy and non linear, but teams constantly overreact to draft year underperformance due to recency bias.

2. Twitchy athlete.

3. SS

4. Elite defense on the dirt up the middle.

5. Power and speed combo

the only box he doesn't check for me is elite bat to ball skills. He even reminds me a bit visually of Mookie Betts, who used to be one of my favorite players before he joined the dark side.

Thanks for your reply. And yes I may be a little too high on Sabol but I really do like his swing. And I was disgusted by Laws lack of research on Harrison. Harrison incorporates a new pitch and drops 30 places???
