Jamie Moyers son just got taken.

 

I feel like his son should be a FA, not a draft pick.

[King]

Don't laugh! He used to play on the summer men's team where I played my ball.

 

Cool

Logan Allen is a good pick for the #RedSox there in the 8th round. Physical lefty, up to 92 w/ a bit of projection, could be backend SP

[King]

Kolton Kendrick seemed like a good pick by the Twins, for the draft position

[King]

Greg Pickett gone to the Phillies

[King]

Jays up shortly again. Round 8.

[King]

Pitchability lefty.

 

Drink.

[King]

Jays take LHP Danny Young

[DuckDuckGose]

5 juniors this draft, very curious.

[GD]

[burlingtonbandit]

College JR. Sounds like a bullpen arm. hopefully its underslot.

[King]

Indians take Justin Garza

[Ziggyy108]

Im down with all the pitching.

[King]

Where is resident Florida Gator expert LetTheBallFly to tell us about Danny Young?

Jays take LHP Danny Young

 

Was a Starter/Reliever his first 2 yrs of college but this year was mainly a middle reliever

Interesting observation BB. Could be a way to save some pennies for later while filling a system need (bullpen)?

[King]

there he is

[King]

 

Pompey going to college

[Terminator]

So how are the Jays doing?

[Daniel Labude]

 

Pompey going to college

 

Awesome...I will probably get to see him play a lot in person

[King]

^^ Tweet was deleted but someone got a screenshot

 

[King]

So how are the Jays doing?

 

Nothing world breaking

[Atothe]

Pompey ain't Pompey but Miles Gordon is most definitely Pompey

[metafour]

Nothing world breaking

 

You're not going to get "world breaking" with your first pick being 29th overall combined with one of the smallest draft pools.

Looks like the younger brother has bad makeup too. He's mad so many tweets he has deleted minutes after..

[burlingtonbandit]

So far I really like the Brewers draft. Underrated haul they got and took some nice value.

[TwistedLogic]

You can actually taste the salt in that Pompey tweet.

[King]

Jays up shortly again

[burlingtonbandit]

In Jays news Sanchez start may be skipped tomorrow and Scott Copeland is seen as the likely spot starter.
