I haven't given it to much thought but I wouldn't waste a high pick on someone who pitches at coors

 

This is actually a good point.

So what time is our draft going to start tomorrow? Because I'm going to be drinking heavily throughout the day and night, and don't want to miss my pick.

I'll let njh decide this one, but IMO we can start the draft any time tonight. No one is probably going to draft any 2nd-day guys anyway.

I said initially that we would start the draft on the 8th, so let's just stick to that. Jays_Fever can kick off the draft at midnight if he wants. We won't start clocking picks until tomorrow night though (let's say 5pm).

I'll probably take a good look at some of the Cardinals guys from today lol. At 3rd I was thinking I'd get Bryant, but it seems like I'll be getting Gray, which is nice.

 

Unless I take Gray....

Why wait until 5 pm? Let's start it at noon so we can get some picks in before people start having dinner and heading out. Since jays_fever has already made the 1st overall selection, I don't really see the harm in letting the next few guys pick now if they want to, with the understanding that the first draft window officially begins tomorrow.

I'm surprised Bryant went 1st overall. I guess he just could pass up the power.

 

I had to go with Appel 2nd. It was close between him and Gray, but I had to go with Appel because of a combo of Gray getting drafted to the Rockies, Appel going first in the MLB draft, and Gray getting addicted to Adderall and shooting up the draft boards just this year.

I'm not surprised. Bryant, Appel and Gray basically form their own tier and all things being equal, you should always go with the position player.

Alright I took Jonathan Gray. Gibbers is up!!

 

Darn. So much for Gray dropping. I was hoping he'd fall out of the top 5.

Posted
but Gray is part of the clear top three.

 

I would have done the same. It's not great that he's in Colorado but it's probably a mistake to value context over talent.

Yahoo thread works the best since it bumps everyone's email as the draft moves along.

Looking at the draft I though for sure that I'd be drafting whoever was left between Stewart or Frazier... than I remembered that Gibbers was above me... and its more than possible he could pick WAY of the board.

Okay!

 

Gibbers could take Moran, that's who I would have taken fourth. But he's all about upside, so probably Stewart or Frazier.

 

I'm not really sold on Moran for this type of format. He's safer then the other two granted, but I sort of feel you need to draft upside here. I guess time will tell :P

My darkhorse would be Bickford. Very young and pitches (potentially) for the Jays, that could appeal to Gibbers. He did take Osuna in the second round of the last draft.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't think the fact that he is a Jays pick has any effect, though, all about the young age.

Gibber's all about the minors.

 

 

Are we on a clock now?

I'm pretty happy Bryant went first. He's the only guy that I would have really regretted missing with the 4th overall I traded.

 

I'm happy too.. It made my decision easier. I would have had a tough decision on weather to take Gray or Bryant second.

This will be the thinnest MiLB draft we ever have. At least next year there will be a mixture of breakout guys and Rule 4 guys. I think this real-life Rule 4 was a pretty weak crop too.

I'm looking to package a couple of these guys for a bat, preferably a 1B, CF or OF. I'd also consider a pick upgrade for some of these guys.

 

Ryan Dempster

Nick Tepesch

John Lackey

Fernando Rodney

Burch Smith

Jon Jay

Denard Span

Chris Coghlan

Jason Motte

Chris Carpenter

I'd have interest in Rodney for sure. Motte perhaps. What you looking for?
