Would definitely trade down my upcoming pick for an MLB roster upgrade

SG gave pretty clear instructions and asked us to torch his picks, and now he's had a few hours to change his mind, so I guess we'll torch them and move on. Not a big deal. Just some draft picks.

Seems like a few people haven’t made cuts. We can be extra lenient considering the issues with the message board and accept cuts still

"poor kid" f*** you!

Spanky, you have a job?

This Blue Jays draft crop seems like it will be really fun to follow. Little bit of everything.

I don't like the swing in some of the videos because I think he doesn't load properly (almost tries to be too quick) and he drifts too much. The tools for timing just seem off, and it doesn't look like a real pro power swing. Something is off with his front leg and how he uses it / plants. I think he's also trying to be straight to the ball, which is lame. It can all be fixed. Being said, I watched other videos and his swing is, unsurprisingly, different in some of them. He's a kid so maybe his swing is "sweet" and it's just the one look that I don't like and/or I have no idea what I'm talking about. For the record I have no idea what I'm talking about but I do have a really high IQ.

People at the top can start, informally, tomorrow, if they wish, provided they have made their cuts

No.

I don't even have time to explain He'll never hit

Groshans’ swing is hideous. It’s some spazzy Hunter Pence s***

I refuse to be upset that Toronto decided to pass on a highly ranked arm. TINSTAAPP. (also we know nothing and neither do the "experts")

It's weird here but still functional. You just have to refresh the page

I am cutting Warmoth and Gilberto Celestino

Tyler Kolek lol

Winker is so woefully unathletic. He's literally their worst OF. 30 speed, 30 defense, 40 arm. mayyyybe 45 power.

Swaggerty OR Kelenic please! Both sound like nice young men

Good start for the lads today: Bo leadoff HR (.272; all of his 4 HR have come since May 15th so the power is now here) Aledmys 2B Vlad single (.420) Biggio sac fly someone popped out Pentecost 3 run jimmy (this is his 24th game catching which is, hilariously, the most he has caught as a pro in any season)

lol, one start away. Moncada will be only a handful of PA away too, but he won't get there.

Players that have to be promoted (might not be inclusive): Ian Happ Jake Faria (likely)

Wow, the draft is almost here. We will begin the draft this year officially on Saturday June 9th. Clocks will begin running at 9 am. The cutdown deadline will be the day before, June 8, at midnight. People can start making and recording picks as soon as the real life draft is over if they want. Please post your cutdowns somewhere public (message board or Yahoo thread). That way someone can notice and process them. You have to cut down to 12 picks+prospects at the deadline. If you don't, any surplus draft picks will disappear. Extra picks don't stick around after the cutdown to give you a chance to trade them. 12 hour windows with no timeouts overnight, as per usual. If you miss a window entirely, future windows are halved (down to 3 hours). Please email the guy after you. You can trade MiLB assets during the draft, as usual, but the trades have to be even on both sides in terms of # of minor league assets (unless one of the owners has less than 12 minor league assets for some reason.) Trading while you are on the clock is illegal unless it occurs at the very beginning of your clock (first 15 minutes or whatever). If a trade is not balanced someone is allowed to dissolve a remaining draft pick to facilitate it, but you CANNOT drop a prospect during the draft. Not fair to do that! Check the rules if you are unsure about anything.

Homer or Giolito if you want qualified dudes. Hat tips to Tillman, Tomlin, Marty Perez, Fulmer, and BRYAN mitchell. Not sure if any of them are even starting games now though.

Bo now has the best BB% of his career, 14 steals, and he has been getting solid reports about his D at SS. Seems like he might have slimmed down or otherwise traded some of his bulk/power for general athleticism. Probably a good thing. Man, if he becomes an actual SS in the majors who can add value on the bases... that would be something. We've all read the Nomar Garciaparra comps this year I'm guessing.
