Expecting Everett. Would love to hear Matuella.

 

Would love them to take Kirby because Kirby!

[gruber92]

Anybody know what kind of bonus money Josh Naylor is looking at?

[King]

I like Nikorak.

[King]

Anybody know what kind of bonus money Josh Naylor is looking at?

 

Under-slot deal. Marlins took him to save money for later picks.

[Atothe]

If Matuella is available, please take him

[NorthOf49]

yay

[King]

 

lol

[labadee]

Would love them to take Kirby because Kirby!

 

but Matuella is so close to Nutella

Ballpark?

[Nafro]

I'm hoping for Matuella or Kirby. I like the way this draft shaped up, for where they are picking.

Idk, but the guy looks like Rowdy Tellez's identical twin.

[TwistedLogic]

Anybody know what kind of bonus money Josh Naylor is looking at?

 

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.

[King]

Ballpark?

 

Don't know.

[GD]

k..

[IronLadle]

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.

 

matuella or kirby

[Atothe]

Why are the angels so excited about ward?

[TwistedLogic]

Err... they were cheering because they got Ward? lol, not exactly a guy I'd be worried about losing to a pick before me.

[King]

Kiley McDaniel ‏@kileymcd 10s10 seconds ago

I think I'm the high guy on Angels pick Taylor Ward. 68th on my board, big numbers, good receiver, 70 arm, athletic, swing just alright.

[Angrioter]

Ward?

[Dylan]

Wasn't expecting that pick with that prior celebration

[dineke]

Why are the angels so excited about ward?

 

Because they have people that have actually watched him play???

[strochez]

Apparently Scioscia has a man crush on Ward

[King]

Taylor Blake Ward ‏@TaylorBlakeWard 17s18 seconds ago

Taylor Ward (not me) is the best defensive college catcher in the draft, has good power, contact is questionable #Angels

[Atothe]

Can someone hire O'Dowd so he can be fired again, terrible gm

[dineke]

but Matuella is so close to Nutella

 

You telling me Nutella is on the same level as Kirby?

[TwistedLogic]

If Matuella is available, please take him

 

It'll be a tough choice if Nikorak is still on the board.

[King]

It'll be a tough choice if Nikorak is still on the board.

 

He won't.

[Atothe]

Because they have people that have actually watched him play???

 

I obviously know that but what did they see that excited them

[King]

Matuella please!

[dineke]

I obviously know that but what did they see that excited them

 

They saw his muscular body
