2019 MLB Draft | Day 1 Thread - Prepare your overreactions

[Pendleton]

Chances Oakland takes a 2 sport athlete? lol

 

They should take your two way guy just to confirm that his first two options are baseball.

[BlueRocky]

Anyone staying up for the second round pick?

 

Lots of interesting names and scenarios here. Rounds 2-5 is where a good scouting department can really pay off.

[Deadpool]

so which one is it

 

IMO his mechanics LOOK really awkward, whether he's mechanically sound is out of my area.

[Ray]

So who are we thinking for the 2nd round? I wouldn't mind getting Jake Sanford.

I think we should take....nvm we all know who I want.

 

I would be cool with Will Holland too. Yeah, he sucked this year and whoever drafts him is going to need to overhaul his swing but he's oozing with talent.

[Boxcar]

Big Spence or bust

There was a HS bat who I asked for a BA report on in the other thread, would have to look.

 

Edit - Gunnar Henderson

[P2F]

Big Spence or bust

 

Only problem is that he would be pretty 'spency. His commitment to Vanderbilt is said to be as locked up as a bullfrog's water-tight *******, so he'd require an overslot deal.

Gunnar! No way he falls to us though. I'm surprised he has not been plucked. I thought the Rays were going to grab him

[Slade]

Damn I really liked Michael Busch's swing although didn't actually believe he would get to us.

[Pendleton]

Gunnar! No way he falls to us though. I'm surprised he has not been plucked. I thought the Rays were going to grab him

 

Only 20 more picks, it could happen!

 

But yeah I was more thinking of him as a potential Groshans style 1st rounder

[BlueRocky]

Matt Allan, Brennan Malone, Kameron Misner fell out of the 1st round.

 

First round is complete.

 

 

 

Some top prep pitchers still on the board for teams rich in bonus pool: Matthew Allan, Brennan Malone, JJ Goss, Jack Leiter, Hunter Barco, Bryce Osmond, Matthew Thompson, Josh Wolf, Jimmy Lewis

 

Some college pitchers on the board: Matt Canterino, Tommy Henry, Seth Johnson, Drey Jameson, John Doxakis, Ryan Zeferjahn, Noah Song, T.J. Sikkema, Graeme Stinson, Ryne Nelson

God I'm so smart

 

were you really smart or just calling out everyone else for being stupid?

[TheHurl]

but what do I know.

[Laika]

I can't even really see what other people might dislike about his mechanics?

 

[glory]

Does the first round really need to be this long every year? Damn what a waste of time. Just get on with it. MLB can barely get people to attend their games, you think fans are flocking to MLB Network to watch this s***? The NBA draft can get away with it because the fans will see those players in a few months. Half of the first round in MLB will be lucky to reach the Majors.

 

Be more efficient, Manfred.

[BlueRocky]

My favorite position players still on the board that would be good value at pick 52:

 

College: Kamerson Misner, Davis Wendzel

 

Prep: Gunnar Henderson, Tyler Callihan, Rece Hinds, Sammy Siani, Matthew Lugo

[Pendleton]

Gunnar Henderson or Jimmy Lewis at 52

[BlueRocky]

D-Backs with Carroll, Walston, Malone, and Jameson to start their night.

 

If they sign all 4 of them that's an amazing draft.

[P2F]

My feels are that the Pirates will use their comp pick to take Gunnar Henderson and effectively replace 2018's failed Gunnar Hoglund selection.

[Boxcar]

were you really smart or just calling out everyone else for being stupid?

 

Both

[Orgfiller]

Yo this guy just dropped a "The Tampa Bay Devil Rays are on the clock". That's an OG right there.

[BlueRocky]

what happened to the BJMB draft night live stream?

[BlueRocky]

and of course the Rays get another stud prep righty JJ Goss, what's new?

[Slade]

Damn it Tampa taking JJ Goss. That's a good pick.

[Slade]

Damn it Hurl now Siani off the board too.

[metafour]

LMFAO WTF was that?

Welp 2nd round just started and there goes half my guys.

Couldn't make it happen

[Orgfiller]

I'm glad they mentioned he's the brother of Mike Siani, wasn't quite sure who he was to that point but that really clarified things for me.
