I also did find Hank's choice of future CYA winner to be a little questionable. Right now, I just don't see it in Hjelle because he doesn't yet have that putaway pitch that Cy Young candidates have. But it's still wait-and-see, with his curveball most likely being that putaway pitch. I would've picked Seth Corry instead to be most likely to win CYA.
Nice seeing you getting into the RHP now, but I was able to watch Hjelle a lot when he got to Richmond, and I’m sorry but I see he has a long way to go before being at a top level pitcher. His velocity could touch 95 at the top but it was very seldom he was mainly around 92 and struggled through Double A when he got there. But I seen other starters at Richmond that stood out more than him, but I know they have a lot of money invested in him so you have to talk about him, but Lawson, Halstead, and Navas when he started stood out more to me
Likewise, Roger. I’m looking forward to it. Would you agree that, all else being equal, a RHP is the preferred choice in this year’s 1st round of the draft? And if so, is there anyone you find intriguing at this point in the (interrupted) process?
They still need a 3b power guy to solidify the infield

I’m an official subscriber! So this is where the cool kids hang out.
Oh. Tough one. Lots of crossover with these players.
