Snake Bytes 7/6: Laughing Stock

[The Athletic] Diamondbacks 2021 draft preview: Arizona picks sixth and could still land its top choice - The Athletic’s Keith Law has the Diamondbacks taking North Carolina high school shortstop Kahlil Watson at No. 6. Baseball America favors University of Louisville catcher Henry Davis and MLB.com suggests Texas prep shortstop Jordan Lawlar. (The last two have, at points, been predicted to go first.) One rival scout suggested keeping an eye on Watson, Georgia prep shortstop Brady House and Boston College outfielder Sal Frelick. The MLB Draft isn’t a straightforward take-the-best-player exercise, even if the industry agrees on the order of the talent.
