Skinny Little Shit's

Deivi Garcia is at the top of players not drafted. Probably because the Yankees just signed Corey Kluber and traded for Jameson Taillon. As if those two are a picture of health.
Nah, there's another reason. It's because he's a skinny little shit. We have a hard time trusting skinny little shits. Especially pitchers.
Go ahead, think of a Hall of Fame pitcher that was a skinny little shit.
Mariano Rivera may come closest, but even he had some meat on his bones.
We are ok in FAAB'ing skinny little shits. We trust them for the short haul. Triston McKenzie was a popular choice last year. This year, his ADP has dropped from the eighth round to the 13th round.
Why?
Because early in the draft season, his accomplishments were given credence. As the draft season goes on, more drafters have come to the realization that he's a skinny little shit.
Skinny little shit's are not to be confused with storks. Randy Johnson was a stork. A stork is a skinny little shit on height steroids.
Tom Gordon was Dee Gordon's dad. Both, skinny little shits.
Gordon was a damned good skinny little shit. One of the best.
Speaking of body types, Dustin Pedroia went to Arizona State University.
Hit the crap out of the ball.
Pedroia did something through College and the minor leagues that few players can brag about.
He would have more extra base hits than strike outs every year. Something refreshing to hear with our current game.
When it came time for the draft though, Pedroia was ignored. At the time, Pedroia was a chubby little shit.
In reality, Pedroia was more of a penguin than Ron Cey.
Pedroia did not work his way into baseball shape. He wanted to play baseball, not go to a gym. For that he was punished by major league teams, much like we punish skinny little shit pitchers.
Scouts also said that Pedroia had a plus hit tool, but a minus in hitting for power, speed, arm, and fielding.
The Red Sox had a young GM, Theo Epstein. He, along with his scouts, decided that Pedroia's hand-eye coordination outweighed all the other minuses and selected him with their first pick.
They were widely ridiculed.
But once Pedroia made it to the Red Sox, he spent an off season going from chubby to taut.
The Red Sox won World Series, Pedroia a part in all of them. Epstein, a genius.
Maybe when the draft winds back to me, I'll take that skinny little shit Deivi.
Maybe it's time for me to stop the skinny little shit bias.
