Charles Manson had the charm and the natural charisma to make people believe he was a messiah. Gregg Zaun is a mouth-breathing f***tard.

This might be the worst thing I've ever read.

Baseball America latest mock. Lots of movement, new #1 pick, and they have Tampa and Oakland taking Thompson and Hiura 4th and 6th overall. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/2017-mlb-mock-draft-4-5/#1upSMBEI5sFSk1pK.97 Warmoth and Sheets to the Jays. Gag.

I give to all of you, a gift: (HD) MLB Network stream

How is Gregg Zaun a real life human being?

Raptors don't even scrape the Warriors even without Curry. Probably still get swept. They're a f***ing juggernaut.

I didn't know Jaffe did prospect stuff but his mock as Carlson to the Jays as well. https://www.si.com/mlb/2017/06/12/mlb-mock-draft-2017 I had Canning last on my list behind Pratto. I impulsively moved them both higher when I saw their MLB.com rankings but I should have stuck with my guns. I agree that I don't like Canning as much as anyone else on that list, and if metafour's information about the injury concerns is legit, I'd stay away from him entirely.

White and Carlson is my best case scenario, so if it goes that way, I'd be extremely stoked. I really don't like Sheets, so I'm hoping that's a misfire on Mayo's part.

Here is my wishlist for the Jays first two selections (with prospect profiles from MLB.com). While a lot of these guys are interchangeable to me, the order in which I've listed them is roughly my order of preference. Sam Carlson | Rank: 15 | Pos: RHP | Age: 18 Fastball: 60 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 55 | Overall: 55 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/7/9/0/210097790/cuts/1_IMG_7186_ew26b79h_9n39oa3c.JPG Scouts already loved Carlson's build and his feel for pitching before his velocity improved significantly this spring, when he was Gatorade's state player of the year. He came out firing this year at 93-97 mph, and his heater already plays better than its velocity because it has sinking and running life and he commands it well. Carlson also fills the strike zone with his slider, which also looks better than ever, and his changeup, which features fade and sink. Unlike most high school pitchers, he trusts his changeup and uses it liberally. Evan White | Rank: 18 | Pos: 1B | Age: 21 Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 60 | Arm: 55 | Field: 70 | Overall: 55 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/2/9/4/225803294/cuts/27793243770_1db3685391_o_goqtgawj_1hsid4nz.jpg White manages the strike zone well and usually focuses on hitting line drives from gap to gap with a relatively flat swing. He has good bat speed and a long frame built to create leverage, so power should come once he adds more strength to his body and more loft to his swing. He's starting to turn on more pitches this spring, which bodes well for his future. A plus runner with solid arm strength, White handled himself well on the outfield corners with the U.S. college national team last summer. Griffin Canning | Rank: 17 | Pos: RHP | Age: 21 Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 50 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 60 | Control: 55 | Overall: 55 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/2/9/0/209769290/cuts/CANNING_GRIFFIN_20160220_BSB_KM02_rx5l4jjd_5nptltw3.JPG Canning isn't the biggest guy in the world, but he really knows how to pitch. His fastball will sit in the low 90s and can touch as high as 95 mph on occasion. His changeup is a plus pitch, one he sells well by maintaining his arm speed and slot, giving it a "pull the string" kind of feel. He throws both a curve and a slider, both potential Major League average pitches, thrown from a simple, athletic and repeatable delivery. He has a strong track record of throwing strikes with all four pitches. Canning has proven to be a durable starter throughout his UCLA career, with a delivery and body type that remind some of Zack Greinke. The right-hander doesn't quite have that ceiling, but he does have the potential to be a solid mid-to-back of the rotation starter in the future. Blayne Enlow | Rank: 29 | Pos: RHP | Age: 18 Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 60 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 50 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/4/9/4/209484494/cuts/Blayne_Enlow_cxrrxod9_oaj4f2fy.jpg Enlow might have the best breaking ball in the 2017 high school class, with low-80s power and 12-to-6 shape. He operated in the low 90s and hit 94 mph with his fastball early in games on the showcase circuit, though he has worked more at 88-92 mph as a senior and still has to show he can maintain his velocity in the later innings. That shouldn't be an issue once he fills out his oh-so-projectable 6-foot-4 frame. Enlow has a loose, quick arm and a relatively easy delivery. He already fills the strike zone, so the only items on his to-do list are to get stronger and develop a changeup he hasn't needed yet. He has the upside of a frontline starter. Hagen Danner | Rank: 41 | Pos: RHP/C | Age: 18 Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 50 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 55 | Overall: 50 Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 30 | Arm: 60 | Field: 55 | Overall: 50 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/0/8/6/209489086/cuts/Hagen_Danner_7k0tnyw5_0g2zlvez.jpg While Danner is one of the better legitimate two-way players in this Draft class, he has spent more time, especially in showcases, showing what he can do as a pitcher. He has a live fastball that can touch 94-95 mph and complements it with a solid curveball and a changeup that flashes above-average. He can fill the strike zone with all three, coming from a high slot. The UCLA commit also has the chance to be a special catcher. He has good hands and a plus arm defensively and while he's a below-average runner, his athleticism helps him move well behind the dish. He swings the bat well from a crouch set up, with quiet pop that could end up being average power in the future. The one thing scouts agree on is that Danner's grades will improve once he starts to focus on one craft. But even as the spring unfolded, there was division among scouts whether he should stay on the mound or behind the plate at the next level. Tanner Burns | Rank: 39 | Pos: RHP | Age: 18 Fastball: 60 | Curveball: 55 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/8/0/4/225671804/cuts/Tanner_Burns_f3594sin_qer8iq95.jpg Burns has a live fastball that parks at 92-95 mph and tops out at 97, and he already shows the ability to command it to both sides of the plate and down in the strike zone. The Auburn recruit owns a hard curveball that can reach the low 80s and grades as a plus pitch at times, though it devolves into more of a slurve in other situations. For a prep power pitcher, he has unusual feel for a changeup and his should become at least an average offering. His father Mike is the former coach at Decatur and the current coach at Calhoun (Ala.) CC, so Burns grew up around the game and is more polished than a typical teenager. Though his lack of size leads to questions about his durability, he's strong and generates velocity with arm speed and athleticism rather than effort. Nick Pratto | Rank: 13 | Pos: 1B | Age: 18 Hit: 60 | Power: 50 | Run: 45 | Arm: 55 | Field: 60 | Overall: 55 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/9/1/6/221702916/cuts/020417MBa_00100_ikhtfblp_frslo5g2.JPG Pratto has positioned himself as perhaps the best pure high school bat in the country. He's always shown an advanced approach at the plate and the ability to hit for average. What's allowed him to separate from the rest of the class is the added power he showed early this season, though his bat did tail off later on in the spring. Pratto isn't the biggest guy in the world, but he should have at least average in-game power in the future, using his feel for hitting to punish mistakes consistently. Pratto is a plus defender at first, with better range than your average first baseman and an above-average arm that throws upper-80s fastballs off the mound. An outstanding competitor who has been on the mound for key international games as part of Team USA, few doubt Pratto's ability to maximize his tools. High school first base-only types can be a tough profile -- Adrian Gonzalez and Freddie Freeman are the biggest success stories, but Pratto isn't as big. Most believe in Pratto's bat enough, though, to take the Southern Cal commit early in the first round. Logan Warmoth | Rank: 27 | Pos: SS | Age: 21 Hit: 55 | Power: 45 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/3/7/4/226272374/cuts/Warmoth_z03kx9cl_xh2428fx.jpg While Warmoth doesn't have a standout tool, he also doesn't have any obvious shortcomings. He's a gifted hitter who controls the strike zone, handles good velocity and uses the entire field. He started to show some power toward the end of his sophomore season, and has enough to hit 12-15 homers per season in the big leagues. Warmoth has solid speed and the savvy to use it on the basepaths. His instincts and quick hands help him make plays at shortstop, and he'll get the chance to play there as a pro. With average range and arm strength, he's probably better suited for second base. Nick Allen | Rank: 30 | Pos: SS | Age: 18 Hit: 55 | Power: 30 | Run: 65 | Arm: 55 | Field: 65 | Overall: 50 http://m.mlb.com/assets/images/6/8/8/221700688/cuts/020417MBa_00025_9pmh32oo_kp6reh2e.JPG The one thing no one questions is Allen's ability to stick at shortstop. He is a plus defender with outstanding range and more than enough arm to make throws from all over the diamond, making highlight reel plays with regularity, even on big stages like the Perfect Game All-American Classic. While Allen will never hit for power, he has added some strength in his lower half and should be able to continue to do so as he matures, allowing him to shoot the ball to the gaps. He's a plus runner with outstanding instincts, so he can stretch singles to doubles and doubles to triples. Allen does play his home games on turf, so some of his times might be a bit inflated, but no one doubts his skills play on any surface. Allen endears himself to scouts even more with his outstanding makeup and baseball IQ. His supporters see a Jose Altuve type profile, albeit one with less power, but who can stay at short.

I mean, we've had it for years and it's used regularly.

A guy who has no speed and projects as a first baseman may get selected #1 overall. Like I said, weird draft. Also doesn't BP suck now?

You're right, let's lock it up. No need to discuss the draft. Let's regroup after Day 1 to check out the results. This is a super weird draft. There seems to be more two-way players than I've ever seen before. There also seems to be an ass ton of first basemen for some reason. I don't remember a draft where there were so many guys projected to go in the top 15 who I really didn't like. So much of the top-end talent has such obvious flaws. I'd pick Carlson over half the guys projected to go top 15.

Twitter's not really my thing. On reddit, you just have to be around troglodytes. Twitter, you actually have to engage and interact with them. I know Hurl does some stuff for the forum on facebook. Maybe he could manage the twitter in King's absence.

They still give Pearson 40s for change-up and command. So yeah, that's just not the kind of prospect that intrigues me at all. I think right now my #1 target is Sam Carlson. I don't think there's any way he's on the board for the Jays, but for some reason BA has him going #29 to the Rangers. I really don't want to see the Jays pass up on this kid if he's available. Advanced feel for the strike zone with good secondaries and hitting 97 with life as a prep pitcher. It's like porn to me. Edit: Callis mocked Carlson to the Jays at #28. Full chub.

That sucks if true. Does anyone have updated grades? BA or FanGraphs maybe?

This was posted in the other thread but I'm responding here since this thread will be more active going into the draft. Has refused to work out with any teams past 22 causing speculation that the Jays have a deal with him if he lasts to them. I like the pick. FB and Change up Combo, breaking pitches don't matter. MLB.com has him with a 45 change-up. Pearson smells a lot like Kolek to me. I hated Kolek going into his draft and I thought the Marlins picking him at #2 was an abomination. It might be more defensible to target a guy like that down at #22, but I don't think I'd have Pearson at the top of my list either way. I don't like guys with s***** control and it doesn't help that his secondaries suck as well.
