Did Harold Reynolds just say he'd take Kyler Murray 1:1?

Why is there any reason to listen to anything Reynolds says about baseball anymore? Dude is out of touch

[BlueRocky]

I'm pretty excited for this. If the Mets take Naylor that means Swagerty/Kelenic should be there when Jays pick. Wonder if they can get them below slot as well.

 

Yeah if this happens, someone will be dropping to 12

[BlueRocky]

Travis Swaggerty - OF | 20 Years Old | L/L | 5'11" / 180 LB

Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 60 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55

 

Doesn’t have any jaw dropping tools but solid all around.

Think the Jays would be happy with it.

Could really use a lefty outfield bat that won’t take 5 years to arrive.

Here we gooooo

[TwistedLogic]

Kelenic is far and way my top target for the Jays pick. I'm not a huge fan of Swaggerty and would take Kelenic over him in a heartbeat.

[burlingtonbandit]

This has been the most excited I've been for a draft in a while.

[TwistedLogic]

Manfred's hairline though. Jesus.

[BlueRocky]

Kelenic has so much upside I hope they don't pass on that.

[Orgfiller]

Lmao

[TwistedLogic]

Lmao

 

[John_Havok]

Kelenic has so much upside I hope they don't pass on that.

 

I doubt we even get to make that choice

[TwistedLogic]

Kelenic has so much upside I hope they don't pass on that.

 

The likelihood of Kelenic not being on the board for the Jays pick is enough to constipate me, but if he's actually there and they pass on him, I might have an aneurysm.

[John_Havok]

So glad we don't have to listen to Selig stumble and bumble his way through speaking anymore.

[Captain Adama]

DAMN! I was hoping Mize would fall to us.

[TwistedLogic]

Am I the only one who thinks Mize is kind of a boring consensus 1:1?

[Orgfiller]

He wants to be remembered as a guy who plays the game the right way. All of the scouts and old-timers just collectively creamed their pants, instant top 25 prospect.

[Captain Adama]

Matt Harvey comp?

 

Ouch.

[John_Havok]

Am I the only one who thinks Mize is kind of a boring consensus 1:1?

 

I guess in the traditional sense of aguy who doesn't have a plus plus fastball with potential to develop plus secondaries.... this guy is your boring 93-95 fastball with already plus secondaries who doesnt miss the zone. He's only walked like 12 batters in the last 2 seasons without giving up hits either

Anyone have a link to stream?

[Captain Adama]

B-b-but the Giants already have a catcher!

 

*gasp*

[Orgfiller]

Matt Harvey comp?

 

Ouch.

 

I lol'd. Is it really a valid comp though? Prime Harvey was like 65-70 fastball with an elite slider, maybe he has that elusive 70 grade douchebag tool.

[Ray]

Joey Bart aka the next Mike Zuzino

[John_Havok]

Anyone have a link to stream?

 

It's on the mlb.com homepage

[burlingtonbandit]

Girardi is terrible on TV

[TwistedLogic]

I almost threw up a little at Girardi's ridiculously obvious teleprompter-voice.

[Captain Adama]

I saw how he fist pumped after that strikeout in his highlight clips. The raw douchebag tool is there.

[Orgfiller]

Player comp - Buster Posey. Come on guys, be a little creative. It doesn't even sound like they're that comparable.
