Thacian is the dude that said he could easily list 20 LSU players as good as Crews. And actually made a list. You should check it out if you want a good laugh. But you can’t take him seriously.

His age and the fact that he doesn't have enough MLB tools to project well at him reaching the majors. His power isn't so good that there aren't a lot of minor leaguers who also have the same or better ability, and there are a lot more minor leaguers who have more tools to provide value to an MLB team. It's
so basically he has to put up numbers to remain and move up or after 3/4 years get sent home if he doesnt perform? Today's analytical baseball mean nothing if he can perform. I get your point clearly but what has changed in the last 50yrs in mlb? If you can hit/catch and throw, you play, if not, you go home. I like his chances.

I'm not even sure Dugas' parents would say that.

This isn’t how they did it.


Go look where Kramer Robertson was drafted and the money he signed for compared to the slot value and tell me they didn't do it that way.

It’s so hard to even guess on which guys will make it to the bigs. Crews is a safe but you really just never know

He's not the best example. He still got $150K. And that was a weird draft year for the Cardinals. He was a 4th rounder but only the second pick for the Cardinals due to sanctions from the Astros issue.

you're entitled to your opinion, but you're going to find very few people who share that opinion.

Crews may be a better athlete but that theory doesnt hold much weight in mlb when you look at the several players who are lesser athletes but just a dam good baseball player. If you can play regardless of athleticism your gonna move up the ladder. Imo i think an mlb team will show more interest in GD more than what people think here

I think you have a very naïve view on how the MLB works.

eam to select a guy that has no real MLB projection as one of their first 10 picks just to save money for a "hail mary, let's throw frick you money to a high school kid taken in the 26th round" move



This isn’t how they did it. All teams the pool of money for the first 10 rounds were combined as your allotment and you could only use that money on your draft picks in the first 10 rounds. The money saved weren’t for the late round guys it was for the top 10 round guys.



Not quite correct.

What you got correct:

a team's bonus pool is the slot value for the first ten rounds.

What you got incorrect:

any savings from signed players in the first 10 rounds can be used by a team to oversign a player in any of the 20 rounds.

example: the Orioles over signing two 11 - 20 round selections (slot value of rounds 11 - 20 is $125K any overage counts against the team's bonus pool). Pick 11 signed for $440k and Carter Young, round 17, signed for $1.33 million (the reason he never made it to LSU).

what you did not address:

a team loses the slot value from their bonus pool for any unsigned picks in round 1 - 10.

teams are allowed to exceed their bonus pool by 5% unpenalized.

With his age it would take the absolute perfect scenario for him to even have a chance to make it.

no im not , i just dont care about the analytics side to the game. Baseball is still the same game its always been.

If you can hit 315/30hr/75rbi your gonna start in mlb. It dont matter if your Dylan Crews or Shaq, your gonna be a big leaguer

Well they're relevant to how decisions are made and how the game is played, regardless of whether you care about them or not

The rules are generally the same but the game is not

way to go out on a limb. Dugas has never hit .315 in a college season, but I'm sure it will be NBD for him to not only get to the majors but put up those numbers. You may as well have said if he hits .350/45 HR/125 RBI he'll be an MLB starter. What is more in the realm of reality is if he's hitting .250 with 15-20 HRs in the minors does he get a shot at his age in the MLB.

many players have these stats in mlb. My point was it dont matter who achieves them. 1 tool or 20 tool player, that said person will be on a mlb roster starting.

I was refering to the analytical folks here about mlb, not GD. I still think he can climb the ladder to the bigs. Jmo. He is every bit as good as any "baseball" player on lsu's team or in the country.
