Can I pick Stanton?

Is the 3rd round happening tonight?

Two first round Canadians plus Demi still to come? Good draft for the national team.

Exactly like Sonny Gray lol

$2-2.5 million? Who knows. Slot is around $3 million.

Matuella will go to the Braves because that's how the universe works.

That's the squarest head I've ever seen.

Vernon Wells sighting behind Griffey

That sentence even flipped your keyboard to french-canadian!

Josh Naylor. Wow. He truly did have draft day helium.

double post

What?

To be fair they've done fairly well with it.

Can someone please tell me how you see the live leaderboards on fangraphs? Edit: nevermind. figured it out.

Lmao at Donaldson being picked 20 places after Shohei Otani. Several people deserve to be fired for that draft.

Richard Urena, SS, Blue Jays (Lansing, A-): 2-4, R, 2 2B. Urena is handling his first full-season challenge well, though there are still a lot of wrinkles to iron out. He’s showing off good power, especially for a player without imposing size, and driving the ball consistently despite a propensity to expand the strike zone. He has no approach just yet, and his plate discipline has fallen apart against better pitching, but he’s still just 19 so some of that is to be expected and can be corrected. There is still some major bust potential with Urena, but there’s also quite a bit of boom. Pitcher of the Day: Matt Boyd, LHP, Blue Jays (New Hampshire, AA): 8 1/3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, BB, 6 K. Boyd is an unspectacular prospect currently getting by with an advanced repoitre, and doing a darn good job of it. Unfortunately, despite what his numbers suggest, his lack of an above-average pitch doesn’t project well against better competition. There’s a future there for anyone who throws a ton of strikes as Boyd does, and he misses enough bats to project some success, but the numbers have been inflated by being more advanced than every level of competition he’s faced. The profile isn’t exciting, but he’s a guy who can help the Jays in some capacity soon.

I didn't buy them, but after a quick Google: http://www.ticketmaster.ca/toronto2015/panam/?ac_link=TO2015_landing_ballot

Got tickets for Christmas. Unfortunately I think it's for the Canada/US game. Would have loved to see Cuba.

Everyone in pro baseball wants to be a regular. Goins is trash.

-1.55 xfip lol Just as crazy as Cashner's start.

Syndergaard at 10 strikeouts through 4 innings, 7 earned runs, 10 hits.

Syndergaard has a crazy line so far. 7Ks, no walks through three innings but he's given up 8 hits and 5 runs in Petco. Reminiscient of Cashner's game from a few days ago.

Blair is a moron who makes s*** up all the time.

Seek help.

It's his 5th season in pro-ball and he hadn't pitched in a full season league until this year. Not sure why as his numbers or control were never bad. Big kid with a big, heavy fastball but reportedly working on the secondaries. From BP's top 10 Astros prospects (wasn't on the list but was in the "Prospects on the Rise" section): "1. RHP Joe Musgrove: A former supplemental first-rounder in a stacked 2011 draft class, it has taken Musgrove some time to get going on the developmental side. Last season was a coming out party of sorts for the big and broad righty, as he was able to put together over 75 innings of high-quality ball for Tri-City, spearheaded by a solid plus fastball that can sit 91 to 95 mph with good life down in the zone. His curve is a second potential swing-and-miss pitch, and there is some feel for a change-piece, which he worked in with more comfort as the season progressed. It’s not an elite package, but Musgrove has a chance to develop into a solid number-three or number-four starter in time, and could potentially handle late-inning work, as well, should Houston so require. He’ll step up to full-season ball in 2015 and should be in play for next year’s top ten list assuming continued growth over the next year." And a BP report from a few days ago: "Joe Musgrove, RHP, Astros (Lancaster, High-A): 6 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 9 K. Musgrove has a 54-1 K-BB ratio thanks to an impressive repertoire that features a cutter/slider hybrid, a fastball that hits 95 and a curve that shows bat-missing potential. At 6-foot-5 and 230 pounds, he has a strong, starter body, and if the change comes around he can work his way into a mid-rotation profile. He's likely not long for Lancaster." Syndergaard 2.0!
