2017 First-Year Player Draft | Day 1 | June 12 - 7:00 PM ET

[TwistedLogic]

Ugh. Warmoth is super anti-climactic.

[Spanky99]

Chris Carpenter didn't work out for us : (

 

He would've if we held onto him...

[HERPDERP]

looks very short

[Spanky99]

Bleh... hope he does well now, I guess. Those comps are under-whelming.

[Jonn]

He's like the one guy I didn't want. No stand out tools.

[THANOS]

Warmoth? Why? Russ Adams 2.0

[TheHurl]

3 WARmoth Guy

[Jonn]

He would've if we held onto him...

 

He's the reason we held onto McGowan forever lol

[P2F]

Warmoth wasn't one of 'my guys', but I'll happily take him. He might be a late-blooming stud.

[TwistedLogic]

Dodgers are probably so stoked that Kendall got past the Jays.

[Daniel Labude]

Don't know if I like the pick....

[Jonn]

The rich get richer

[GoJays1562]

Warmoth is a vanilla pick hope it works out.

[TheHurl]

he has 5 tools though. I hate when they give the Power, Defense, speed guys.

[burlingtonbandit]

He's like the one guy I didn't want. No stand out tools.

 

 

sounds like the reaction to Trea Turner being mocked to us.

 

I like the pick. Solid floor and ability to keep improving.

[GreekFatAss]

Isnt Warmoth basically Bichette taken in the 1st round?

[metafour]

The rich get richer

 

Yea, College kid who can't hit s***. Brilliant.

 

Might be the next JB Woodman.

[43211234]

Warmoth is Trea Turner 2.0

 

Stud! Future HOF!

[Governator]

Why do they always try to compare prospects to established major Leaguers? Seems awfully hard to predict lol

[Pendleton]

The talk about Warmoth's trajectory is encouraging for sure. Can't complain about a Brian Dozier comp, though that was obviously the most positive one they came across.

[Spanky99]

Warmoth wasn't one of 'my guys', but I'll happily take him. He might be a late-blooming stud.

 

I'd rather Allen over Warmoth, but that's me. Especially for slot flexibility.

[Deadpool]

Well, the one big plus for me is that Warmoth sounds like he could be a pokemon, which is funny.

[Jonn]

sounds like the reaction to Trea Turner being mocked to us.

 

I like the pick. Solid floor and ability to keep improving.

 

He doesn't have the speed or athleticism of Trea Turner. But that comparison works.

[P2F]

Why do they always try to compare prospects to established major Leaguers? Seems awfully hard to predict lol

It's such a futile exercise, really. But I suppose it appeals to the casual fans.

[Spanky99]

The talk about Warmoth's trajectory is encouraging for sure. Can't complain about a Brian Dozier comp, though that was obviously the most positive one they came across.

 

I heard Hardy and Cozart comps?

[metafour]

I'd rather Allen over Warmoth, but that's me. Especially for slot flexibility.

 

If Warmoth was a HS kid you'd love him. Why Allen over Warmoth? Midget with who knows what type of offensive upside, and I actually like Allen. You're falling into the HS= Good, College = Bad trap.

[Jonn]

Yea, College kid who can't hit s***. Brilliant.

 

Might be the next JB Woodman.

 

This comparison makes no sense. The only thing they have in common is strikeouts

[Laika]

I love the Warmoth pick. Look for this kid to follow in the footsteps of other late-first-round shortstops, like Deven Merrero and Alex Blandino

[Angrioter]

Warmoth the next Lindor

[Pendleton]

I heard Hardy and Cozart comps?

 

Manuel said he talked to a scout who compared the bat to Dozier, and used that to justify Warmoth still being a good pick even if he has to move to 2B

 

Edit - Or maybe he was comparing his potential trajectory to Dozier, who had a huger power spike in pro ball
