Please elaborate...... Don't just blow off a well written post with one liners.
I'll blow off whatever I want, like I've always done.

First AZ didn't point anything out. He bomb the conversation and ran away.What needs elaboration?
Asserting that Condon probably isn’t a major leaguer any moreso than the other top prospects is absurd and calling that out and suggesting that someone who believes that probably doesn’t need to be taking seriously in regards to draft opinions requires no additional elaboration
Asserting that draft decisions on individual players made 10-20 years ago have any relevance to our process now, who’s in charge, who’s setting developmental path, etc is also just completely irrelevant to the team in place making the selections in the 2024 draft. Pointing that out also doesn’t require much elaboration
Sure on CA, but that is highly reductive in terms of the systems and profile that is now in place, at least imoFirst AZ didn't point anything out. He bomb the conversation and ran away.
That said How long has Chris Antonetti been with the organization?
And how long has he been a decision maker in the organization.
First answer is 24 years.
Second is 13.

Based on what? They are still drafting the EXACT same profiles that they were back 15 years ago.
The exact same.
The way AZ said stuff was the issue... the first poster just doesn't believe Condon will be a legit big leaguer...
Honestly, majority of draft picks fail to get to MLB, so if you feel a player won't make it, then I am not against saying you don't believe they will make it...
Last year they didn't exactly stay with the same profiles though, Velazquez and Clemmey aren't what they normally have been targeting lately...
I think you may be too harsh on Condon to be sincere, but if you don't believe he will make it, I don't blame you for saying to stay away from him...
IF we go by the norm style of player though, Cleveland has been targeting, Bazzana is definitely the one that fits the best.
If the biggest consideration is the floor of the prospect, they should only draft hitters that also pitch so they can have a chance to fail as a hitter and a pitcher.
In baseball, you expect most picks to never be relevant major league players since most draftees are never relevant major league players. In that world, it makes sense to draft mostly for ceiling since you are expecting a huge failure rate anyway.
I think you just believe Condon is more of a fit than he is no matter what, which is laughable to me.
Condon is a fit for a need, that's for sure... That is what got people in Cleveland really thinking about it...
