What happened to Kumar rocker?

 

People don't think his fastball is good enough to be an Ace, basically.

[BlueRocky]

Orioles lol

I didn't see it posted in this thread. There's a live Youtube feed

 

 

 

 

Reading the live chat is kinda funny. Lots of Red Sox fans complaining that they already have Xander.

[Captain Adama]

Lol when the analysts are throwing out HoF comps for everybody and the 5th pick gets a Brandon Nimmo comp.

[Laika]

Orioles lol

 

It's like Kjerstad all over. I'd be mildly annoyed as an O's fan

[glory]

What happened to Kumar rocker?

 

Some mocks have had Rocker dropping to the Royals. That seems like a realistic spot for him.

[Slade]

I really don't hate the Orioles strategy, they are trying to add as much talent as possible in their drafts.

[Slade]

Lawlar going to the Diamondbacks at 6.

When you don't believe in signing international free agents I guess you have to get the extra talent somewhere.

 

Haven't heard that one in a while, did they stop that moronic strategy yet?

I think they are done with that stupidity, they landed 17-18 international free agents this year.

[Slade]

Royals going way off board with Franklin Mozzicato at seven, could get interesting going forward.

[Laika]

Sounds like Royals are going way off the board

[TwistedLogic]

What? Mozzicato at #7?

 

I'm sure they have their reasons but for reference, he was #39 on MLB.com.

[BlueRocky]

Mozicatto to KCR is gonna be sick

[Slade]

Benny Montgomery to the Rockies at 8. I wonder how far House and Watson fall.

[glory]

Could definitely see the Angels going with Rocker.

[Slade]

Montgomery does everything well but damn that swing needs some work to get hard contact consistently.

[BlueRocky]

There goes my boy Benny Edited July 12, 2021 by BlueRocky

[Slade]

Damn thought Bachman had a chance to get to us. Good for the Angels they need pitching and they nailed to Detmers pick last year.

[BlueRocky]

There goes my other boy Sam Edited July 12, 2021 by BlueRocky

[Slade]

Rocker fits great with the Mets.

[Jimcanuck]

Mets is death for pitchers.

[Slade]

[glory]

Mets got a great pick at 10.

[Slade]

Brady House to the Nationals.

[BlueRocky]

Watson to Jays pls

[jaysguy44]

Watson to Jays pls

Doubtful

[Slade]

Harry Ford to the Mariners at 12.

[Slade]

Philly taking Andrew Painter at 13.

[King]

Noted insider Mason McRae says that Watson is going to fall due to makeup concerns
