The latest picks from the Cards and the Nats make it seem increasingly likely that the Orioles have some sort of deal with Bitsko.

[Spanky__99]

Faaaack... nice pick by the Rays.

Nope, el es un Ray

[Slade]

Bitsko is a such a TB pick.

That theory got quashed quickly.

Well so much for that. Os are dumb.

[Jimcanuck]

We need to find a better replacement for Grichuck and we are set!

 

Mookie? Jays have the budget room

[Carlos Danger]

Anyone think Nick Loftin can make it to our 2nd round pick?? I really like him...

[glory]

Of course the Rays pick Bitsko.

[Ziggyy108]

Who are your guys top players you'd like us to get at 42?

[Jonn]

 

To be fair they have to say this. They can’t just say we punted the pick and have no intention of signing him lol.

[Jimcanuck]

Jared Jones

 

edit - Jarvis off the board already

[saskjayfan]

Getting Martin really should be good enough, but reading an orioles fan post this is really the cherry on top!

 

I'm pissed.

 

10 years of seeing Martin light us up while we've got an outfield with 40 speed.

[Carlos Danger]

Shuster is such an AA pick

[Ziggyy108]

Jared Jones

Jarvis went 18 to Dbacks

I got to see who is left at the end of the comp round. A lot of the strong analytic guys are still on the board.

 

These are some of the guys I really like.

 

Jared Jones

Tanner Witt

JT Ginn

Dax Fulton

Gage Workman

Chase Davis

Blue Rocky, Slade, anyone??

Jays will need to go overslot to sign Martin. Might see them pick a lower ranked guy that they like. Beeter, maybe

[Krylian]

I need a change of pants. Vlad Bo Biggio and Martin

 

Groshans and Martinez too in 2-3 years.

[P2F]

[Slade]

Blue Rocky, Slade, anyone??

 

I would be pretty surprised if he got out of the comp round. This draft is short on guys who can stick at SS. I think the Cardinals were connected to him previously but they don't have another pick before us. I could see him going to the Pirates or Royals in the comp round.

[metafour]

His commitment to going to college was strong back when he was ranked in the 100's which would put him in the ~3rd/4th round - he could very easily change that decision AND take underslot at #17. This is astronomically higher than where anyone thought he'd go, it will change his plans entirely.

 

I don't buy that the Red Sox are punting this pick on purpose. With no #2 pick, they could rank this kid much higher than industry consensus and see an opportunity to save money here which will let them spend big elsewhere down the line to make up the loss of the #2 pick.

 

[Bturn2210]

wait so how many picks are tonight?

Thanks man.. Do you think if he did get to us, we would take best hitter available/players even though we already picked a SS/position player.

[Carlos Danger]

I think 37

[TheHurl]

Who is running the draft for the Red Sox?

 

Nick Yorke @17. Ranked 96 by BA. OK.....

 

Never doubt Chaim

[BurnItAll]

Kelley to the O's here?

[Krylian]

I hope that we don't have to draft a College Senior or two in order to scrape together enough coin for Boras' liking.

[Slade]

I'm not sure if they will need to go overslot or not (probably considering Boras) but Beeter fits too as a guy who shines in the Analytics. Typically we take risks in our 2nd and 3rd round pick but landing Martin probably has us shifting some focus. If they have to save some money punt the 4th or 5th pick.
