Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes could go 1-2 in the MLB Draft. Still, the Pirates might throw a curve -
“He’s the best college hitter I’ve ever seen,” Johnson said.
Maybe it’s simple gamesmanship. Maybe it’s Cherington’s inherent pragmatism. Maybe it’s sincerity. Whatever it is, Cherington has made it a point in recent weeks to stress who is going at the very top end of the draft isn’t a given. At least not in Pittsburgh. The Pirates went a little off-script in 2021 when they chose catcher Henry Davis at “1-1.” Davis, who made his major league debut last month, signed for under slot value, giving Cherington more money to spend later in the draft.
“Even if you’re talking about a college player that might be a little closer than a high school player, a lot can happen in this game, even between this year and 12 months from now, a lot can happen to our team and what the needs might be and what the fit might be. So I think we have to stick with the best player available.”
“There are rumors that get spread and you’re not sure where they came from,” Johnson said. “The more we look at past drafts, they never really go like you think they’re going to go. There’s always a surprise or two in there.” “Our goal is to pick 30th moving forward,” Young said. “I think we’ve taken steps in that direction this year.”
