Draft Discussion Thread

[Cardinals]

Discuss draft picks and draft status here - try to keep the other thread clean for picks.

[RedSox]

Honestly a little surprised to see JP go double SP out of the gate since he has an entire 40 man of pitching already.

[Rays]

I also thought he would go a pitcher and a hitter

[Cardinals]

I was a bit surprised, too. It was my intention to go best arm, best bat and call it a day. I figured all along I would take Holliday but the swing-and-miss gave me enough pause to pass on him.

I did consider Arquette at two but I felt the two best picks in this draft were the two SP. I'm still not near competing, so any surplus will work itself out.

Dan - how many motherfucks are you throwing at baseball America right now?

Endless.

Bitch liberals don’t have a limit.

I was torn between Witherspoon and Hernandez. Went with the guy I’ll have the most rooting interest in as a Sox fan.
Did I make the right choice?

That is a 5-7 year question unless one immediately busts out.

Fuck this vacant team bullshit. I can't believe autodraft just took my fucking guy.

[Reds]

So let’s fill the spots and we won’t have to use a list. It really is the fairest list we could find from a respectable source, that include international players.

Haha…I would have bet everything I owned it was.

While I got 4 guys I absolutely coveted, credit for the Neyens and Frey picks. Those were two guys I was absolutely targeting if the dropped into the early 2nd. There's no Strasburg/Harper/Skenes in this draft, but I think this group is really, really, really good. Still players on the board I like a ton.

[Orioles]

I really coveted Colome and thought he'd make it to 18, but I'm pretty happy with Neyens, who just edged out Ethan Conrad on my draft board to be the pick.

[Nationals]

All,

With draft pick trading happening during the draft, tracking and updating the board has been difficult. Your team page is the official record, so if you see a discrepancy between the draft thread and your page, please post here so we can get the board cleaned up.

Thanks

Dudes. You already blew it (again). IBC O's just won the draft before round 3 (again). Too easy. No need for multiple top 10 picks (like 1 and 2) and 5 picks in the first 50 like Trader Bob (JP) to find a star.

18. Neyens
46. Fauske
48. Franklin

Love this haul so far.

[Yankees]

Haha...'won'.

Pick #10: Dax Kilby

An impressive list, but you gave up substantial value to amass all those high picks. So I'm sayin if we're measuring on a WAR-per-draft-capital-expended basis...

[Yankees]

We can all move goalposts...

Xavier Neyens, who couldn’t make contact against various trans people and dudes with 2 moms in Stalingrad, Washington?

You do like em whiffy I guess

(Apologies to all the theys and those w 2 moms)

[Orioles]

I ain't aferd of a little swing-and-miss in the profile. Swing decisions can improve with reps but power doesn't grow on trees. Plus, I'm a sucker for upside, and young Neyens has loads of it.

Hang the banner? Might've had an OK draft?

[Orioles]

Dammit Nils you tricky Swede. Don't you fuckin take my guy here!

[Pirates]

Mark is up, not me.

[Orioles]

Doesn't matter. He won't take my guy (I don't think). You might.
