GDT: MLB Draft, June 10, 2020

[Deadpool]

Another weird looking pick from the Orioles...

 

Their dart board appears to be getting one hell of a workout...

[Slade]

I'm telling you guys CJ Van Eyk is a really good player, he got hurt by the shortened season.

[The Iceman]

We should go for Witt...punt 4th and 5th rounds

[Spanky99]

Maybe the Orioles have a deal with "The other Martin?".

[BlueRocky]

Avg age for Blue Jays in 2019: 25.9 (youngest in MLB)

[Brownie19]

We should go for Witt...punt 4th and 5th rounds

 

I support this move.

 

I read someone who said we have 'some' upside over other MLB teams because we're one of the few that's going to pay minor leaguers more than others. If we do have a slight advantage, we could use it to sign some non-drafted guys for $20K to replace the 4th and 5th round picks.

[Spanky99]

Birds up next...

 

BLAZE f***IN JORDAN...

 

Let's do this!

[Slade]

Hoping for Gage Workman here if they go college bat.

[BlueRocky]

Trent Palmer

JacksonvilleRHP

Notes:

Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 230 | B-T: R-R

Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted

Age At Draft: 21.2

 

Palmer’s first year as a full-time starter with Jacksonville got off to a great start as the righthander struck out 41 batters and walked just five over 27.2 innings in his first four starts. He was getting plenty of scouting attention for his early season performance after running his fastball up to 97 mph last summer in the Cape Cod League. On the Cape, Palmer appeared in seven games as a reliever and posted a 1.45 ERA in 18.2 innings with 21 strikeouts and eight walks. Palmer threw much better strikes this spring than he previously did as a reliever with Jacksonville in 2018 and 2019, and scouts think of him firmly as a top 200 prospect because of his improvement. This spring his fastball sat mostly in the 92-95 mph range, touching 96, and he’s mixed in two above-average secondaries in a slider and a changeup. His slider is a firm breaking ball in the 84-87 mph range. At 6-foot-1, 230 pounds, Palmer will need to maintain his body moving forward, but he’s shown a repeatable delivery that should give him every opportunity to start.

[Brownie19]

meh - whatever. I guess this is the price of getting Martin

[Slade]

Big body, pretty good stuff, can't complain too much. Hopefully this is an underslot deal.

[P2F]

Damn, there goeth my lad.

[jays4life19]

He *might* be a little under slot but this is no punt fellas.

There's our saved money for Martin. Good stuff.

[Captain Adama]

If you're gonna draft a Jenkins/McGuire/Zoink, at least it's in the 3rd round

[Spanky99]

Pirates keep crushing it.

[Spanky99]

Nice price, brosoff!

[Jonn]

If you're gonna draft a Jenkins/McGuire/Zoink, at least it's in the 3rd round

 

Did you just judge what kind of pitcher he is on his appearance lol. He throws 4-5 MPH harder than all those guys.

Zoinks threw at least the same velocity as Palmer out of college if not faster.

 

As for your first point. Yes.

[Jonn]

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

 

Yea hes a draft eligible sophomore so he will go back for his Junior season and no harm done for him. Assuming we survive 2020.

[Spanky99]

There goes Calabrese.

[Spanky99]

He went to the Padres, right after I posted that, they're likely going over-slot there.
