Really great writeup. Southisene is a player. Nice speed/power combo package. If we had a NFL style RAS number for baseball he would be high.
Lodise is a floor and a bridge play. Probably a fast riser. Solid pick. Honestly probably would have grabbed Owens at 60 although that would have thrown the money off for the later picks.
McKenzie and Essenburg are the the other 2 jewels of the class. Briggs reminds me of the other McKenzie (Gore).
Beidelschies is a nice arm with reliever potential. I think developing more internal relievers
Real emphasis on overall athleticism was good to see.
Shah's comments about SS prospects being able to play other positions was great to see. Where has this philosophy been the last 6-7 years? Maybe he's reading your column Lindsay and the guys at Down on the Farm.
Would like to see us pick up another prospect or 2 at the deadline. AA hasn't traded for prospects. Maybe an OF with 5 tool potential or a corner IF with some power. Someone "blocked" in their system.
Need another draft cycle to stock the farm.
If we are willing to spend some money this offseason we can go forward with this core and yet

create a new core simultaneously.
