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

[TheHurl]

He suxx so much he is now a broadcaster?

 

because no announcer draws more social media attention which is big for networks.

[Brownie19]

I've got a feel Thompson is going to be a beast. Damn good pick by Tex

 

They sure make him seem like a future stud on TV. Tools for days.

[Spanky99]

Its Pearson you f***s.

 

6'6 240 throws high 90's. Get mad.

 

So why are you being a dick, exactly?

[TwistedLogic]

Get f***ed, TL.

[HERPDERP]

so syndergaard 2.0

[MunenoriKawasakiMVP]

So Pearson has Syndergaard upside?

[TwistedLogic]

"You don't have to worry about the command as much or the durability if you put him in the bullpen."

 

Just what you wanna hear about your first round pick. I'm so amped!

[P2F]

Here's hoping Pearson develops command and a changeup. You can't teach 100+ MPH.

[43211234]

Pop-up guy suddenly throwing 100 at the draft out of HS with no secondaries?

 

Syndergaard 2.0!

[Spanky99]

I'm cool with this, but leaks from dicks is apparent.

[TheHurl]

So Carlson got to the Jays. Time for me to get kicked in the dick?

 

He's going to the Astros at 51

[TwistedLogic]

In before Carlson.

 

Edit: Or not.

[GoJays1562]

Fastball is explosive but the secondary stuff is a worry. Let's hope it works out.

[metafour]

"You don't have to worry about the command as much or the durability if you put him in the bullpen."

 

Just what you wanna hear about your first round pick. I'm so amped!

 

You realize they do medical checks, right?

[Orgfiller]

PUT HIM IN THE BULLPEN RIGHT AWAY. f*** POTENTIAL FRONT OF THE LINE STARTER. Fastball/slider omgzzz

[Slade]

I can dig it, pretty good draft so far. I still want Caden Lemons though.

[Spanky99]

Pop-up guy suddenly throwing 100 at the draft out of HS with no secondaries?

 

Syndergaard 2.0!

 

Baz is Synderlander 2.0.

[Laika]

Pop-up guy suddenly throwing 100 at the draft out of HS with no secondaries?

 

Syndergaard 2.0!

 

Pearson is a JuCo guy.

 

I love this pick.

[Brownie19]

Seise - That's a huge bat flip man.

[Jonn]

Seise - That's a huge bat flip man.

 

They are going to hate him in Texas.

[Brownie19]

Here's hoping Pearson develops command and a changeup. You can't teach 100+ MPH.

 

Sounds a little like TJ Zeuch???

[Jonn]

Its Pearson you f***s.

 

6'6 240 throws high 90's. Get mad.

 

I wanted another Deck McGuire /green

[Spanky99]

Pearson is a JuCo guy.

 

I love this pick.

 

With an evolving change, I don't mind this pick.

[Laika]

This is a really f***ing nice day 1 for Toronto, wow.

 

Warmoth is a legit two way player that will move fast.

Pearson throws fire and probably isn't as raw as people think. I'm reading random reports now and random scouts do mention that his secondaries flash plus and his control is pretty good for a young flamethrower.

 

I'm hyped.

[Pendleton]

Seise - That's a huge bat flip man.

 

Yeah one of the conditions of him signing will be having to punch himself in the face for that.

[TheHurl]

He's going to the Astros at 51

 

Sorry Twins pick twice before then...no way he gets past the Twins. They love their Minnesota born guys

[LGBJ29]

really you can read as much positive or negative things you want about any particular pick and use your own bias to hate or love a pick. Im not gonna pretend I know more than Shatkins and the entire scouting regime who've been tracking/scouting/interviewing these players for months. I think we've got the smartest FO we've ever had and I'll trust the picks we've made were the right ones. There's plenty to look forward to

They pretty much got the two guys they were on the hardest. Pearson has been getting better and better as the season progressed. Obvious huge upside. I'm sure they are very pleased.

[Spanky99]

That pick is surprising...

[Angrioter]

Here's hoping Pearson develops command and a changeup. You can't teach 100+ MPH.

 

Yeah. Billy Koch
