MLB Draft expert Joe Doyle on the PROS & CONS of the potential #1 picks for the Cleveland Guardians
Published 2024-07-10
MLB Draft expert Joe Doyle joins the show to discuss the pros and cons of each of the top prospects.
Mock Drafts are starting to show a little agreement on who the Cleveland Guardians could select with the number one overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft.
Bleacher Report released their latest predictions over the weekend and have the Guardians taking Oregon State 2B Travis Bazzana first overall.
“The possibility remains that the Guardians could look to cut a deal at No. 1 overall in an effort to spread out their draft pool, with West Virginia infielder JJ Wetherholt the most popular name in that conversation. However, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com recently surveyed 20 scouting directors across Major League Baseball on who they expect to be the No. 1 pick. Travis Bazzana received 15 votes, with four for Wetherholt and one for Georgia slugger Charlie Condon | www.si.com/mlb/guardians/news/cleveland-guardians-…

Great interview. Hopefully he's on after the draft to talk about the class.

It's going to be Bazzana. First time 1/1 pickers, Cleveland will not handle this like past 1st round picks. They will get Bazzana for 9mil at 1/1 or Bazzana goes 1/4 and gets less. Bazzana exhibits a high baseball IQ with goal oriented, laser focus, great vision and physical vitality, all which will cause him to only get better and better over the years. His presence on a team will naturally lead by example. He fits the Guardians player type and what they are trying to produce in their other players. Therefore he is the perfect specimen for Cleveland's player development. He is faster than Condon and stronger than both Condon and Wetherholt. When you see him in person, you see his compact power and bat speed. He has the developed tools and a mind to continue to strive for elevating those tools. I think the front office notices this. The goal oriented Bazzana will take the 1/1 money that Cleveland will offer because he wants to be number one to check off the goal. He is going to gleam off Jose and be the next leader of the team. He will sign a longer term contract early. Book it! (I'm not a profit but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.)

Pitching ,Pitching, and more pitching....why do you think the bookies base the odds on who's pitching...Chase Burns is definitely in play...However I do think the Guardians will pick Bazzana....Cape Cod numbers project well...Wetherholts hammy injuries and Condons..road play and marginal cape cod play will matter. Jac Caggs...very intriguing...unreal power and if that's all he focuses on ...wow..Antonnetti said it's about the group of players they select..get ready maybe for a surprise if that's the Case...Burns or Cags....Guardians want that 36 and 48 to reallly cunt!!! Can't go wrong with any of the top 5!

Ive always been Team Condon but that pitcher from Arkansas intruiges me.
-
I Watched 2 UGA CWS games and I did not see anything special from Condon. he didn't get a hit or walk in either game. Bazzana from all intents and purposes has been the top guy since before the season started so let's see if thats what Guardians do
-
As a baseball fan during the playoffs GET A BAT!!!! Indians always have pitching and haven’t won sht get The Bat!!!
-
We need a pitcher
-
there are no overall #1s that you can build around this year. bad year to have the #1 overall because there is such a large chance of blowing it. please no more middle infielders unless you trade the current glut for a proven mlb commodity.
-
Better not be another middle infielder so instead of picking players in rd 25-30 give it to the top picks push some chips in and get a true #2-#3 pitcher a true everyday RH RF and LH relif Tanner Scott

Why are the only four choices white guys
