KC wants someone close to MLB ready? Take Stroman.. He is supposed to be by several sources, though some think he will just be a reliever at the MLB level, mostly due to his short size.
Amazingly.. 1 mock draft has Boston selecting him.. I hope they actually do.. it never comes out that way.. Cursed…

stroman has more risk than the top 3, doubtful the royals do that. don’t think he lasts to the red sox. looks like a top 15 pick.

I can understand how Oppenheimer focuses on his team when he speaks about the pressures of playing in NY, but that applies to the Mets as well. George Foster, Amos Otis, Bobby Bonilla,Brett Saberhagen, Vince Coleman, Carlos Baerga,Robbie Alomar and currently, Jason Bay are players that fall into that category.
Poll those players and they will tell you what Oppenheimer says is correct. Between the fans, media scrutiny and expectations the game oftentimes becomes a job rather than a sport, where the player has to constantly perform to high levels.
