Keith Law

Apparently they’re all over Littlewood. My assumption would be that they like his glove. There really aren’t many natural shortstops to be found in this draft, and Littlewood at least plays like one even if he doesn’t quite have all the tools that you want.

by mrkupe on Jun 5, 2025 3:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

really?

most people seem to rave about his skill set…

by astrosfanforever on Jun 5, 2025 3:14 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agree

I wouldn’t have taken Littlewood here after the Shipman pick. Too much raw talent between the two and maybe too much money after you add in Cowart and Parker.

I’m not a Littlewood fan either. His MLB.com report is pretty bad. His bat won’t carry him and his poor range will push him to 3B where I have Cowart playing to start his career. He doesn’t have much speed, his power might only be just average and his hitting ability doesn’t seem to be a plus. Sounds like a Pedro Feliz type at best(maybe even fewer HRs) but I could easily see him flaming out in the lower minors.

Being realistic, a college RHP that will sign for slot is the most likely pick after Cowart, Solis, Parker and Shipman. Kyle Blair or Thomas Royse would have been my choics. Probably Blair although he may not be a slot sign. But he won’t do better next year in the draft.

by UncleBuck44 on Jun 5, 2025 7:40 PM EDT up reply actions  

Knecht or Littlewood?

Unclebuck had Marcus Knecht, (OF) here on his list in the MOD thread. BA has Knecht at #95 and Littlewood a #112. Neither is a reach at this point.
Mixed reviews on Littlewood.

A lot of play for Rob Rasmussen also on Cardinal threads.

by RunSup on Jun 5, 2025 3:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

woulda picked Knecht but he was taken awhile ago.

anyways i figured that if Littlewood will be #43 in real draft, $105 aint too bad in this one…

Knecht or Littlewood?

Unclebuck had Marcus Knecht, (OF) here on his list in the MOD thread. BA has Knecht at #95 and Littlewood a #112. Neither is a reach at this point.
Mixed reviews on Littlewood.

A lot of play for Rob Rasmussen also on Cardinal threads.

Yankees

I want to pick Smyly so badly right here. SD says Munson, but we got a reliever last round. Kyle Blair is the next choice. And I think he is an alright pick.

Kyle Blair, RHP, San Diego.

good pick if he's signable

Not sure a deal would get done if he goes here, though.

We used to do five rounds but people start dropping out fast. 3 is enough.

like his bat

Also, it’s a compensation pick and I have plenty of preps to sign . . .safe pick that shouldn’t be hard to sign up.
