Bohm is another interesting one. His early ADP is 150-ish. He's a 1B-3B dual position, high BA, with 20 HR power.
-
He is young, has improved greatly each year, has speed [but not a burner], defensive plus, has a very quick bat, doesn't strike out chasing bad pitches, and, first and foremost, is one of the best clutch hitters on the team. He will start virtually every game, either at CF or LF. I contend he hasn't even approached his ceiling yet. With he and Bohm 6-7 in batting order, they do a lot of damage. He has yet to hit lefties all that well, but, again, has improved. His power is maybe 20-25 HR's, but a lot of doubles. I'll take that package any day if someone devalues him. He is a joy to watch every day.

I'd take Stott who has better power & much better speed and plays a premium position over him any day of the week. An ADP of ~300 seems about right IMO.
In any event, he's only 26 next season. I would pay for what he did this season and that's 100 picks above where he's going.

Originally posted by Ken View PostI don’t agree with “much better”. They seem pretty similar with marsh having a better contact skill and Stott slightly more power and a lot more speed.
Marsh is toolsy, hits very well with runners on, and he's an excellent baserunner. His natural position is in front of power, not behind it. Madducks comment about the platoon split has more teeth. Marsh's defense will play but he could drop back in the lineup vs LHP.

I don't know about moving him up. I would think Stott is more in line to move up in the order. If they get away from Shwarber leading off, it would probably be something like:
Turner
Stott
Harper
JT
Shwarber
Costelanos
Bohm/New LF/Marsh

He looks like a future platoon player and late inning defensive replacement.

Originally posted by onejayhawk View PostI agree. He's a full-time player and may move to the top of the lineup if he maintains his plate discipline.
Turner
Stott
Harper
JT
Shwarber
Costelanos
Bohm/New LF/Marsh

Originally posted by heyelander View PostMy thought is platooon concerns maybe? But I don't think he ends up in a platoon next year. Harper is going to play first and shwarber will DH. That leaves 2 OF spots open, and I don't think Rojas starts the season in MLB. I think Marsh is your starting CF, and moves to left if Rojas proves he can hit in the majors.

Originally posted by Ken View PostWhat’s the upside? I suspect he will rise up draft boards but not a guy I’d be targetting personally he just doesn’t do much.
Why isn't he going in the low to mid 200s? He's young enough and toolsy enough to have a breakthrough and his postseason line is impressive--.342/.405/.526 in 42 PA. Lars Nootbar who is older and has worse stats is going over 100 picks higher.

2K24: Brandon Marsh
I don't get it. Marsh is a 25-year-old, slightly post-hype player who graded out in the top 150 (# 147), improved in the 2nd half (strikeouts down, walks and power up), plays superior defense, and killed it in the postseason.
Why are the early mock drafts treating him like a late-round flier? Granted there are no serious drafts yet but NFC has 17 drafts and the earliest he was taken is 317.Tags: None
