The DDT - Draft Day 1 thread

Can we trade into the competitive balance round A now ?

nvm, they just said before 5pm est.

Who do you guys want for the Jays at 47 guys?

 

I want Unroe, but I can see them going Denney for position or Hunter Green for a pitcher.

[Angrioter]

Tigers getting a comp balance pick is ridiculous.

 

Tigers, Angels and Nats shouldn't pick until round #10.

[Angrioter]

Who do you guys want for the Jays at 47 guys?

 

Manaea or Austin Wilson

[imsorry4beatinU]

Look at this midget lol. And lol at Reynolds still doesn't know how the draft works.

 

I swear, he is only there for entertainment.

Wilson would be nice. I wouldn't hate that.

Whitson, Denny, Unroe, or Milone. Maybe O'Neill or Boldt. Is Mercado gone yet? Quantrill or Martarano could be cool too.

[Angrioter]

Zimmer and Manaea at same team lol

 

Dr James Andrews could give to Royals a discount for their surgeries.

[ace3113]

I've watched Krook on video, and I had no idea he was black. How is that possible? lol

[cesarb182]

I heard that the category tee ball will be entering the draft is dat true

[ace3113]

I'm nervous right now. Get a position player who can actually hit AA/BP.

[ace3113]

I got a name for later in the draft. Jacob Hanneman, outfielder, BYU. This years Patrick Kivlehan (4th round, Mariners, 2012).

My friend is pimping Jacob Brentz, got anything on him?

[TheHurl]

I'm going to predict a surprise pick for the 47th and say Chandler Eden for the Jays. Another tough sign guy but maybe they start pooching picks earlier.

O's - Josh Hart

 

ceiling DJ Davis lol

[imsorry4beatinU]

We need to cut some dead weight. Both Reynolds and Hart needs to go. Reynolds who has no idea whats going on he just likes to talk. Hart likes every player and every teams approach. Well the Braves they just know what they're doing they know how to draft players. Then he will say the same about the Cardinals, Rays, Rangers, everybody. Seriously they're paying these guys.

 

I agree

Jacob Brentz

Brentz might have the best pure left-handed arm in the draft class, hitting the upper 90s this spring (97 to 100 depending on whom you ask) and pitching at 90-95 even in cold weather. His curveball is a work in progress, slow with a big, round break that looks pretty but that won't likely fool pro hitters, and a tendency to ?cast? the pitch when he releases it.

He comes from a 3/4 slot, getting under the ball often. It's not a great delivery, with an elbow wrap behind his head and too little hip rotation for that kind of velocity. He's a great arm-strength pick given his age, but he's raw as a pitcher and probably needs more delivery help than you'd like to see on a first rounder.

Very Jays like. Hasn't pitched for long...just started pitching this year. Is all velocity no feel for pitching yet. Very weak commitment to Missou.

Late pop up guy. Kid throws gas. Could be a Taijuan Walker type.

[Angrioter]

Hart: I like his last name.

Reynolds: Hes black so he must be athletic... I'm going to say hes athletic.

Not sure if this has been posted but AA on the radio with Bowden and Duquette stated they really wanted a bat but they were gone and so to the best on their board

[TheHurl]

Knebel pitches this year. Book it.

[ace3113]

Tom Henke aka The Terminator

 

Corey Knebel aka The Urinator:p

[TheHurl]

Did they just take "Turd Man".

[GD]

1.) Whitson 2.) Martarano 3.) Brentz 4.) Denney 5.) O'Neill 6.) Mercado 7.) Boldt is a rough ranking of who I like
