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

[GD]

The white sox have been drafting better lately

 

that was hard to miss lol

[Atothe]

Is it all college players so far?

[King]

Harris for the Cubs here? God, Daz might actually make it to 37 lol

 

McDaniel thought that if Daz slid pass the Cubs at 9, he could drop all the way to 37.

 

There were rumors earlier tonight that the Rays were working on a pre-draft deal with Cameron at their pick.

[Atothe]

that was hard to miss lol

 

This is the white sox we're talking about

Like, is that really unreasonable at this point? Astros would have to punt their entire draft.

Carson Fulmer what a baseball name!

 

Wait till Bubba Derby gets picked. (not tonight obviously)

[King]

Is it all college players so far?

 

Nope. Kyle Tucker and Brendan Rodgers are out of high school.

[Orgfiller]

Swanson needs to either embrace the full beard or change the look a bit. Not feeling the current facial hair.

[ace3113]

Happ for the Cubs?

[King]

Ian Happ to the Cubs

[ace3113]

Happ for the Cubs?

 

Yes! Guessed it. lol

[burlingtonbandit]

Wow first surprise of the draft?

[GD]

Happ??? didn't think they'd pass on Harris here honestly although I know they've been linked to him a lottttt

[TwistedLogic]

I like this pick for the Cubs.

[strochez]

Chicago Cubs are the Anti-Toronto Blue Jays

[burlingtonbandit]

Like, is that really unreasonable at this point? Astros would have to punt their entire draft.

 

Their pool is 17 million. They wouldn't have to do that.

[GD]

"He's a player" You don't f***in say.

[Ziggyy108]

What pick numbers do we have after 29???

[GD]

Their pool is 17 million. They wouldn't have to do that.

 

Holy s*** I did not realize that. They would certainly not have to do that. Now I kinda want it to happen.

 

not the Rays pls

[Atothe]

Cubs refuse to relent on drafting position players

[GD]

"He's a gym rat" = he's a white guy

[GD]

Stephenson here for sure.

[metafour]

Phillies supposedly drafting Cornelius Randolph, which would be the first real surprise pick if you want to call it.

[GD]

1. SHORTSTOP Corenlius Randolph? Thought he was 3B.

2. wao

[StroShow]

Doesn't Randolph have signability concerns?

[Orgfiller]

Great name

[Atothe]

Cornelius Randolph, what a name

[jays4life19]

lol @ his interview.

[King]

Randolph doesn't look any older than 13
