2015 First-Year Player Draft GDT | June 8, 2015 - 7:00 PM ET | Live on MLB.com

Damnit.

[NorthOf49]

Damn the Jays needed this kid. Huge arm.

[metafour]

Damn Nikorak so close for us. I think we 100% would have taken him.

[Atothe]

Rockies just picked him, nice

[King]

Damn the Jays needed this kid. Huge arm.

 

Handsome too. Clean cut kid.

[GD]

I could see the Braves grabbing Matuella.

Are you a scout?

[gruber92]

Are you asking just out of sheer curiosity, or do you think he's still on the board? Because the Marlins took a reach on him at 12.

 

Just curious, kid is from my neck of the woods. Watched him take BP a few years ago, crazy power. Stocky, slower moving type (1B / DH).

[43211234]

Matuella will go to the Braves because that's how the universe works.

[metafour]

I'm guessing Ke'Bryan Hayes here to Atlanta.

[GD]

Giolito 2.0

$2-2.5 million? Who knows. Slot is around $3 million.

Heard Nikorak hit 99 over 10x in recent workout. Command issues and questions on offspeed utility but big time arm strength. #Rockies

[Frenchsoup]

Matuella please!

 

you know matuella is a reliever right?

[Captain Adama]

Are you a scout?

 

I have a terrible feeling that this might become a full-blown board meme.

 

EDIT: It's terminal....

[KingKat]

Who are you guys hoping for at 29 now?

 

Nikorak, Betts, Everrett, Kibry, Matuella, Hayes are a few for me. I could see them popping Juan Hillman early and saving money.

 

(Edit) Forgot about Jon Harris, who we've drafted before. I hope he doesn't end up being Deck 2.0.

 

Betts I guess. (BTW, I cleared my pms.)

[NLJays]

What do you guys think about Dewees? Hit well in Cape Cod, and just crushed (admittedly weak) college competition this year

[Atothe]

its too late

[Atothe]

Decent comp

[StevieRay]

did he say same size at sonny gray but in fact he is like half a foot taller than Sonny Gray

[43211234]

Exactly like Sonny Gray lol

[King]

Jays up shortly.

[King]

Is it okay to spoil this Braves pick? Time to start Jays speculation.

Hearing Braves will take Canadian prep RHP Mike Soroka here

$2-2.5 million? Who knows. Slot is around $3 million.

 

That would be a nice unexpected chunk of change. Life changer either way..

[Atothe]

mike soroka?

[dineke]

He was talking about downstairs

[Atothe]

I hope the Blue Jays pick someone with a strong face and a hot a girlfriend. #Scouting

 

you're definitely a scout

[Frenchsoup]

Are you a scout?

 

The guy has already shown he is very injury prone. Command is questionable. If you project him to be a starter and give you 150 plus innings that's crazy.
