Funkhouser. What an awesome name. Reminds me of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Dock_Elvis
Very reminiscent of the late 70’s player and Commodores fan Kirby Brickhouser. He was mighty mighty letting it all hang out.

I was thinking the same thing. Who wouldn’t want to buy a jersey with the name Funkhouser on the back?
Draven Moss
Another example of the D’backs not knowing exactly what they are doing. Why would you not take Rodgers? I believe he is the only kid with a future value grade of 60 in this weak draft. Not going after one of the top five talents would be an unwise decision, and one that is not entirely surprising coming from the D’backs. I won’t complain too much, it just gives the Red Sox a better chance at drafting a higher-rated prospect.
Jacob Leong
I wonder if Rodgers or Tate could fall to the Sox
Draven Moss
I highly doubt either of those guys fall that low. Funkhouser or Bregman could fall that low if the D’backs don’t draft a top 5 talent, though I’d guess the Twins would then end up drafting the fifth best of those guys listed. It is probably gonna be Fulmer for the Red Sox, or perhaps Aiken or Allard.
Jacob Leong
I think Bregman to the Sox
Draven Moss
They have been connected to him quite a bit and I believe they drafted him out of high school and he didn’t sign. I just don’t see him getting past the Twins though.
Jacob Leong
Rankings don’t translate to the draft order a lot of the time
rouscher
No way, Rodgers doesn’t get past Houston and no way Tate falls past Texas, Colorado, Minnesota ( all teams that like taking pitching early on and can use it) or Housons second pick. The Sox will get a real good pick out of this year but no way either of them Falls to #7. ( but there’s always that weird possibility too) but highly unlikely.
Jacob Leong
Houston doesn’t want Rodgers
rouscher
Why wouldn’t they? correa probably won’t slot at SS for the long haul, Rodgers could. shift Correa over and Rodgers at SS. With two picks i highly doubt they don’t go Rodgers and then go underslot the second pick.
Sky14
The Twins may very well take a pitcher but they are very unlikely to draft based on need. Besides their farm system is pretty well stocked with quality arms but is severely lacking position players in the lower minors.

DJ Stewart belongs in a Braves uniform
David 29
Maybe
Niekro
He reminds me of a shorter Klesko batting stance is similar too, DJ has more bend in his knees though. They are both more athletic than they looked too.
David 29
In which pick would you want to draft him in? I wouls rather have him as our 2nd pick if possible, but not first
Niekro
Yes the comp pick #28, I wouldn’t be surprised if the first pick is Matuella if he is available Hart has not gone away from TJ guys. Matuella’s back problems are worrisome though more so than his TJ.
David 29
I would hate it if we get Matuella because he seems injury prone. I would rather have the Braves get a better OF prospect. And for Stewart, thats what I also thought- the compensation pick.
