The Reds, as you may know, have the second pick in the draft. Buzz is Condon going first to the Guardians, and then the Reds get their pick of the field. Who do you want?
Bazzana looks good to me. Lefty bat, great plate approach, and power. He's already played in the AUBL, which I don't think is insignificant. Although he looks ready now, which adds to the position player logjam.
Chase Burns is interesting at pitcher, but looks like he might wind up being a closer based on his performance in college.
Hagen Smith is lights out, but he's pitching on an arm that had a TJ as a sophomore in HS.
Also a few real strong bats that profile as 1B/DH only.
Who would you go for?

I am not going to lie, the good vibes of the season aa it is going so far made me forget we somehow got the 2nd overall pick
I’ll need to look into it but Holy crap that made my morning
ETA: Bazzana or Caglianone look the best on a quick look. Middle infield more set than the corners, and Caglianone could end up pulling double duty, and just having the flexibility to go either route is valuable. Lean him over Bazzana right now, but Bazzana is a helluva prospect. Good eye and power, and looks like he could probably play almost any position
I want a man from the land down under
Guards fan here. I think they’ll draft Bazzana, so Condon could be there.
I actually like Braden Montgomery and think he’ll be a great OF but don’t think the Reds will take him at 2
Take one of Condon, Bazzana, Caglianone and we will be good.
I have Condon as my top prospect, and a coin flip if he’s gone.
College arm is their MO.
History would suggest a person named Nick
Infielder?
caglianone. Big dude that can smack the ball.
I like Wetherholt too, but I doubt they draft him at 2.
