Has Sammy been emailed?
-
Cool. Someone should probably email Sammy that he'll be on the clock in a couple minutes.
-
Wall and Reed... you're up again FTD!
-
I have three guys I'm considering with about 30 backups lol. I think I'm going to hold off on taking the guy I talked about earlier and nab him at 61 or 93, he should still be available. I will instead take a similar prospect who is a little more mature.
-
So now I'm waffling on whether or not I should take that guy I said I wanted at #48 lol. There are just so many options.
-
Without a doubt, yes. Lots of (less serious) fans seem to think we missed out on a lot of stuff by not signing two first round picks in recent years and that it's a big blemish on AA's record. Couldn't be further from the truth. It's probably fair to say that Stroman is in the Majors and contributing earlier than Beede would have, had he signed with us. And I actually didn't want Bickford to sign last year (some people think the Blue Jays didn't want to sign him either), he didn't seem like a premium prospect. -
I expect to make my #48 pick in this morning, since FTD and Havok have five of the seven picks in between.
-
I posted and emailed Silvergun. Finnegan's nice. I like the focus on college pitching. It's neat that most people seem to have a specific type of prospect they target. Adds character to the draft.
-
Uniform number is between 33 and 59.
-
High ceiling, NL org. Can't say much more lol. I'm not that worried about him getting picked.
-
Okay, I emailed him. I'm really itching to make my next pick lol (#48). Have a guy atop my board who should fall.
-
Not to get on your case Min, but are you going to post the Harrison pick to Proboards? You can email Gibbers after you do it too.
-
They can sue MLB for suppressing their earnings, arguing that baseball's anti-trust exemption is unconstitutional and that the draft is a violation of their rights. But that would take a long time and would sacrifice a good portion of the player's career, so it's not worth it. Suck it up and wait for six-year free agency.
-
Decent pick. As high an upside as any bat available, really. Gibbers was online an hour ago, hopefully he's still around.
-
All of them but Ruiz were on my board lol. Don't worry though, it's all a big crapshoot.
-
Metallijay would have already viciously attacked us for doubting that he's a new poster. This isn't him. Welcome!
-
JA "5-2" Happ. He's having a great season!
-
I've spent a few months building my draft board! Every time I hear of an interesting prospect (on Twitter, an article, in conversation, etc) I add them to the board. No cramming necessary, except involving the first-year guys.
-
WTF!? Gareth Morgan isn't even a definitive second-round talent. Good for him I guess lol. Btw King, I PM'd you a while ago! Need some advice
-
When in doubt, reference the DDL Trade Map! http://i.imgur.com/MLcFeha.png Folty is middle-left. KLaw ranked Holmes as the sixth best draft prospect! Don't be disheartened. One of the best picks of the second round IMO.
-
Hoffman doesn't really have any leverage though. He won't be able to pitch in time for next year's draft, since Tommy John takes ~14 months to recover from. Teams won't like him as much next year if he turns down our offer, since he'll have rehabbed from TJ without their supervision. It shouldn't take slot.
-
Matt Kemp didn't made those fancy lists and now he's the best player in the National League. Don't let Dinger push you around, Boxy. Stand by what you believe in.
-
This new series where Gibby and Seitzer run the whole organization is great. Keep it up Olerud.
-
At this point I have so many guys on my board that I have the opposite reaction when one gets picked lol. It's hard to differentiate between them. Hitters have tools, may or may not be performing at a low level. Pitchers have stuff but some control issues. If a guy gets popped it makes my job easier.
-
It went something like this. Zaun: As we've seen, you can a run and a half to the ERA when NL pitchers switch leagues. It happened with Josh Johnson and it will happen to Samardzija. He throws too much junk, that stuff doesn't work over here. Bobcat: A run and a half... that's a 4.50 ERA. Good Lord! We don't need that.
