Quick draft notes, based on listening to the new Callis/Mayo Pipeline podcast:
They both seem to be in agreement that things are more and more open at pick #1. Whereas the sentiment earlier was that it was 80-90% likely that Condon or Bazzana would be the pick, they now have it closer to 60% or so, or even a touch less in Callis' case.
They seem to see the other competitors as Wetherholt and Caglianone, with some serious emphasis on the latter. My impression is that Caglianone's power might be a standout tool in a context where there really isn't an overwhelming other tool. Wetherholt is the only premium position and he spent some of the year injured. Condon has the power, but the LH college power is truly rare, and Caglianone probably has what it takes to find another gear when he stops pitching.
That said, this is qualified by the fact that there's really no new information because all relevant players are done playing, and the rumors going around are coming from other teams than Cleveland. They also seemed to think Burns is a small option, with Smith less so and Griffin being the only prep option for them, but both agreed in that top-4.
For the Pirates perspective, barring some surprise, I think that the ideal scenario for college bats sliding would be for the Guardians to take someone besides Condon/Bazzana and Burns/Smith. This is predicated on Burns/Smith being a slam dunk to Colorado at #3, which then basically sees Oakland wanting a college bat and having Bazzana or Condon fall into their lap.
No Pirates talk on this one, but the perception of the top pick seemed worth relaying. My instinct has been to see Caglianone as a little bit more boom or bust due to him chasing, but seems like there's upside in addition to him not whiffing on balls where he can do damage, which is the worse sign. I doubt he would get to 9. I really think our best case scenario still basically lies with Oakland not going Kurtz and him being our pick.
