The DDT - Draft Day 1 thread

[GD]

so far behind...just catching up. Everything I heard this morning was correct and we took bickford. I'll scan back and see reaction to it when I get a chance. Broke my f***ing nose tonight I think...so I'm pretty sore and bleeding still

 

Jesus f***, feel better bro!

[GD]

I'd bet Beane took McKinney because they're both named Billy lol.

[ace3113]

Nice!!

 

Thanks. That was a huge guess. I have no idea what Oakland is going to do anymore. They're less predictable than in the moneyball days.

[ace3113]

San Francisco usually goes college guessing Judge here.

[btmi]

christ, NOBODY wants Stanek, do they

[Angrioter]

McKinney = redneck = Rasmus

[imsorry4beatinU]

Harold Reynolds actually said something right Wow.(mind blown)

[GD]

I really want Clarkin.

 

Clarkin, Stanek, Manea. One of these guys. I'd flip if we got one. But the only one we have a shot at is Clarkin because of f***ing Boras.

McKinney = redneck = Rasmus

My Mexican brother, why do you never construct a full sentence?

[imsorry4beatinU]

Yankees will eat up Stanek and Maneaa

[ace3113]

McKinney makes me think of Christian Yellich. Don't think he'll be that good but great hitter.

God Mlb Draft is boring, they should allow trading of picks like in the nba and nfl.

 

Trading draft picks means that JPR and AA would have traded our picks away out of desperation... I don't want that.

[GD]

Arroyo? Over Unroe? WTF?

[imsorry4beatinU]

so who are the remaining players your really high on that could land to the jays pick?

[ace3113]

Arroyo!!! Holy crap the pre-draft rumors were true. lol

 

One of the best pure hs bats. I wanted him in round 4.

[Angrioter]

Who's that boy called Bronson Arroyo?

[ace3113]

Is Reynolds here because they didn't want to have an all white panel. Hes horrendous.

 

I think he just told Mayo to meet him in the parking lot. lol:p

[GD]

so who are the remaining players your really high on that could land to the jays pick?

 

Whitson, Milone, Clarkin, Stanek, Manea.

 

I'll say Jagielo to Yankees, he's been connected to them a lot.

 

+1.

Who's that boy called Bronson Arroyo?

 

Keith Law:

 

Christian Arroyo

Arroyo has received some late-spring buzz as a potential first-round pick, although his offensive upside is somewhat limited and he's not going to stay at shortstop.

At the plate, he overstrides and shifts his hips early, keeping his hands back and making up for some mechanical inconsistencies with quick hands and good bat speed. There's likely more power in his bat if he can stay back instead of drifting over his front side. He has good arm strength but is a below-average runner and doesn't have the footwork to stay at shortstop; he could move to second base or even behind the plate.

I don't see him as better than a mid-second round talent, because of his crudeness at the plate and need for a new position, but for a team willing to take the longest view he could go in the top 50 picks.

 

Hitting 35 50

Power 35 45

Running Speed 40 40

Fielding Range 40 45

"Hey we need a voice over guy for our Baseball America commercial, anyone know a guy with a really bad lisp?"

[GD]

I think Denney ends up a Yankee but if he slipped to us..

[ace3113]

I think Jagielo.

[ace3113]

5 for 26. lol

[ace3113]

Ian Clarkin to the Reds.

[TheHurl]

KC going to still get Stanek with their next pick after saving money with Dozier?

[Angrioter]

Keith Law:

 

Thanks

 

Rafael Belliard ceiling

[Tuco]

I like that O's pick

 

Bundy - Gausman - Harvey is a very nice exciting core to a rotation

[ace3113]

Philip Ervin probably to the Reds.

 

Nice.

[Angrioter]

Phillip Ervin
