2024 MLB Draft Thread

[connorp]

Their last 3 first round picks:

 

1) Extreme risk HS SS with massive tools.

2) High risk HS LHP with big stuff.

3) College RHP coming off TJ surgery and a Top 10 grade pre-injury.

 

Literally no "safe" picks among those three.

 

Fair enough, I just happened a couple weeks ago to look at their last 20 years worth of 1sts and they all were garbage. I didn’t have much recency bias. You’re not wrong though

And there goes Wetherholt... 7 picks in and all top 7 ranked from mlb.com have been taken.

[Carlos Danger]

A Florida Gators is always a good bet.

[John_Havok]

Bazzana must be the first Aussie to go 1-1 right?

Collusion!!

Yeah i’d think so

[John Balkabella]

Why do they bring Harold Reynolds back year after year?

 

He brings nothing.

[John_Havok]

#12 ranked Christian Moore to the Angels.

[Carlos Danger]

He brings nothing.

 

He makes it fun. Was good during the 2015 ALDS.

[John_Havok]

I love the Griffin pick for Pittsburgh.

I wonder who the first team to go way off board will be .... Tampa?

Oakland pretty much did

[John_Havok]

Oakland pretty much did

 

Taking a 7th ranked guy at 4 isnt way off board. I mean like... taking some guy from the 2nd or 3rd round ranks with their 1st pick.

 

 

Edit... Seattle almost went there.. taking 25 rank at 15.

Id take the SEA guy over Kurtz

[Iggy]

I am watching it on TSN2

[John_Havok]

Miami wins the off-board pick award.... taking 43 ranked guy at 16

[John_Havok]

Id take the SEA guy over Kurtz

 

Switch pitchers are fun yeah, but ... most reports ive read have him far better throwing RH than LH.

[John_Havok]

Brewers go even further off board... than Miami. Wow.

 

But with the comp picks they have coming their way, this is almost certainly an underslot savings pick.

Brewers: "Hold my beer."

[John_Havok]

Brewers: "Hold my beer."

 

no doubt. Those 2 additional picks in the top 70 give them a big edge in taking some overslot guys later on if they can save some money in round 1.

 

At least Baltimore has 0 competitive balance picks this year, just the bonus pick for Gunnar winning ROY

[Daniel Labude]

In terms of long term outlook yeah he will be a RHP mostly

[Daniel Labude]

Yesavage or Caminiti there for the Jays....Hopefully they take Caminiti

[John_Havok]

lots of top talent still available for the Jays pick at 20 thanks to all these obvious savings picks happening right now

[John_Havok]

Yesavage or Caminiti there for the Jays....Hopefully they take Caminiti

 

Would love Caminiti at 20, not gonna lie, but who the hell knows what his LSU commit would cost to get him to pass up.
