GDT: MLB Draft, June 10, 2020

[Beans]

Rangers are dumb.

[Spanky__99]

hahah Kiley has no idea who Evan Carter is. That's hilarious.

 

lol

[Spanky__99]

Mets get Ginn.

[Ray]

How come?

 

Don't think he'll have consistent enough command to stick as a starter.

[Bobthe4th]

Anyone else having issues with the board? Might just be mods but every time i try to edit a post it deletes it.

 

It does that (and has for a while) for me on my Pixel phone, but not my iPhone, laptops or pc.

[Spanky__99]

STL get Winn...

[PhillyBlueJay]

Good Review here on Van Eyke. Jays might have seen something many scouts have not?

I see, so he has command issues, not that big a deal when he has a front of the rotation arm at such a young age.

[Ray]

I would've preferred a college arm with a little more upside like Wilcox, Cole Henry, or Ginn, but Van Eyke is a pretty good pick. He was getting some good reports to start the season. Even better if we can get him underslot and save $$$ for Martin.

 

Hoping we got with an upside prep player for number 3.

High spin-rate fastball with plus curveball.

Third pitch is changeup, fourth pitch slider.

I don't think the Jays could afford those guys in their budget, saving money would be optimal.

I think out of the underslot options at 42, this guy has one of the higher upsides. I’m thinking he signs @ 1.2-1.5 M which would save 300-500k for Martin.

 

Earlier this season, Baseball America had CJ Van Eyk mocked around late-teens to mid-20s. He’s a first round talent. And good pitch metrics for the analysts.

Sounds awesome, thanks mate.

[Spanky__99]

Miami has went all arms, but I believe they've drafted well.

 

Cabrera's another guy I wouldn't have minded.

We can already offer Martin $6,665,415 with the 5% allowance. If we save some on Van Eyk, that'll get us to $7M. Hopefully that'll be enough to sign him.

[Carlos Danger]

Gdamn, he really does look like Bret Gardner.... Spitting image at the plate...

[Spanky__99]

At 77 the Toronto Blue Jays select BLAAAAAAAAze Jordan!

[Vdubfan]

When can teams begin signing UDFAs again? Is it right after the draft, or tomorrow?

[Orgfiller]

Holy f*** the Giants' latest draft pick just got a Ryan Goins comp. Imagine being a fan and hearing that your 68th pick in the draft has Ryan Goins potential.

Finally a realistic comp for these draft picks

[baubau]

You shut your dirty whore mouth. Austin Martin will be *checks comp* Anthony Rendon and Mookie Betts combined!

[Spanky__99]

Houston's first pick coming up, lol.

[P2F]

Alex Santos II? The f***. That should be a Jr. label.

[The Iceman]

David Calabrese is still on the board isn't he??

 

Keith Law had him ranked 19th overall. Might be a chance for some CanCon.

Just like last years 3rd round selection Brown

[Spanky__99]

Soooo, Cole Wilcox and company must be asking for big dough.

Really don't think the Jays have the budget to sign him.

[Brownie19]

Is Casey Martin going to be an over slot pick or something?

[BlueRocky]

What if he falls short of those projections? Can he still stick?

[BlueRocky]

BA draft chat:

Mike (NYC):

Given the shortened Draft, do you expect a pitcher like CJ Van Eyk to go in the earlier rounds? I would guess under normal circumstances he is not a R1-R3 talent?

 

Carlos Collazo: I would expect Van Eyk in that range regardless of the circumstances. We've consistently had him as a top 50 player in this class. He's good.

[Ray]

O's have yet to pick someone who is going to be overslot. Maybe they really are looking to not spend as much this year in the draft.

 

lol
