Would like to know peoples thoughts on who you'd take at #1 given Paul Skenes continued development and just total domination.

Crews.
Pitchers impact every 6-7th game. Position players impact every game.

Depends on who has the pick id imagine

The Pirates have the number one pick. I would take Crews and I believe they will to. If they can lock up Oneil Cruz and Crews becomes the player everyone thinks he will, that’s a great core.

It’s gonna be a hell of a decision for sure. Both players are so far ahead of everyone else at their positions. We’re gonna look back in 10 years and wonder how the frick these two played on the same team.

Which team? What are their most pressing needs? Budget constraints?
There are so many factors that go into draft decisions.

I’m drafting Ace before position player, that’s like drafting the best qb and having the shittiest O-line. Imo aces are harder to get

Skenes all day. Crews may become an all star but Skenes has Cy Young type stuff.

Don't care as long as they go 1-2.

Many teams will favor a position player over a pitcher due to the difference in injury rate.
So I think all other things equal, Crews will go first. But either are definitely worthy #1 selections.

Can't go wrong with either.

How do you have a generational 5 tool player and Pitcher on the same team?

Something to pay attention to regarding this is if the Pirates and Bryan Reynolds can come to a contract extension agreement. If they don't agree they may target an extension with O'Neil Cruz and then draft Crews to hopefully build around them. If they come to an extension with Bryan Reynolds and O'Neil Cruz then maybe they lean towards Skenes as a top arm to work with.

Make them face each other!!!
Skenes gets strike out he goes first
Crews gets a hit he goes first

I think you have to consider the potential for arm injury with pitchers. I don’t know Skenes arm history but if they feel pretty good that his mechanics will keep his arm healthy then you may have to take him before Crews.
