Welcome to America's Finest City! Can't wait to see him in the Brown!
Congrats! That is exciting!!
Congratulations to James & family on this special occasion!!
Very nice. Congratulations. Now the tough decision awaits.
I don't know about SD's lower levels but El Paso was fun for Tim's brief stay in '19 and as a visitor a couple years later. Great fans and stadium. Of course that's just the last stop before reaching the pinnacle where I can see James landing.
Fantasmagopoulis, such great news to hear! Congratulations to your son + the family ~
Nothing better in life than a can’t lose decision. Huge congrats to your son and your family, Paula!!

Awesome news. Congratulations! No matter what your son decides to do, he will be with one of the best baseball organization in that playing arena. Great position to be in and well deserved!
Out-freaking-standing! Congrats to the Woods family. Two great options are never bad.
Thank you all so very much! The HSBBW family has just been amazing. I will circle back when the dust settles a little bit but it has been a wonderful ride and we see so many blessings in his March struggles. You guys have been such a great source of support, hilarious conversations and information.
Luv you too Paula!
Congrats and best of luck. He truly is in a “no lose” situation.
Congratulations!!!!
@2025prospect I haven’t forgotten….
So happy for you guys!
Wood made a huge jump in performance this year. He always had speed and power but this year he lowered his K rate dropped to below 20% while still walking at a healthy rate
If his hit tool turns out above average or even just average he could be an mvp candidate who at his size probably could hit 40 Homers, stealing 20 while playing CF or a very good corner.
One prospect outlet even has him ranked #1 ahead of holliday and skenes.
Obviously he has to show it at the big league level but if I was the Nats I would offer him a 100 mill extension before he played a big league game.
