Mind blowing we were looking at being in 1st alone if not for the frickery of the last two games.

I agree, but that’s what made the ‘stros so damn fun to watch! The opposite approach and kicking arse.
It’s just donkey hacks and hope now it seems like.

Looking like MLB.com had Tanks as the 20th rated on the board, which would be a ‘steal’. I’ll defer to Dana and hope he can replenish the cupboard.

MLB.com:
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 60 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50
After drawing little interest from pro teams or major college programs as a Texas high schooler, Janek has developed into arguably the 2024 Draft's best catching prospect after three years at Sam Houston. His stock surged at the 2023 Karbach Classic, where he went 5-for-13 with a pair of doubles, squared up a 97-mph fastball from Louisiana State's Chase Shores and backpicked a runner. He continued to impress in the Cape Cod League last summer and played his way into first-round consideration this spring while winning the Buster Posey Award as college baseball's top catcher.
With impressive bat speed and good strength, Janek creates plus raw power that translates into average game pop with most of his home runs driven to his pull side. While he's an aggressive right-handed hitter who looks to launch balls and frequently chases pitches out of the strike zone, he's showing more patience and doing a better job of using the entire field in 2024. Though he has below-average speed, he runs better than most catchers and will steal bases if opponents don't keep him honest.
Conference USA's 2024 Defensive Player of the Year, Janek is agile behind the plate and does a nice job framing pitches. He can get lackadaisical with his receiving, which grades as merely average until he cleans it up. He controls the running game with his plus arm strength and quick release.

Walker Janek...catcher out of Sam Houston.

Seemed like they were really linked to going catcher if Moore or Janek were available.
Hopefully he works out!

Would’ve liked Tommy White for obvious reasons but seems like a good pick
Posted on 7/14/24 at 8:47 pm to TankBoys32
His chances of being a big leaguer are very high.
Posted on 7/14/24 at 8:49 pm to Jwho77
Was this a best player available scenario?
Posted on 7/14/24 at 9:19 pm to Uncle Mike23
I wouldn't go that far from a raw talent scouts' angle but he made sense in that range.
Posted on 7/14/24 at 9:22 pm to Jwho77
Hopefully not the next Korey Lee.

It's gone with all those Hader bombs.

Ahhhhh
We really need Bregman to get us that compensation pick

Maybe we are currently missing Uncle Mike's influence in the dugout, especially with the young guys.
