Buehrle>Wood

I would have liked a position player with that second pick. I dont see why not with the shape of this 40 man. At least none of the relievers got picked.

How is Michael Fulmer rule 5 eligible

Man, Guardians made out like bandits. Not sure what either of the other two are doing here. Cleveland gets out of Gimenez contract and I'm sure will do wonders with those 3 arms, especially Ortiz.

They also offered 8/215. 8 million, 215 years to be clear.

They do. Not sure why, other than he was the source of a MLB meme on players your fanbase likes that weren't actually good players. I dont know what the story is there. But here's Cubs reaction to Sox signing him. Clearly a fan favorite https://www.reddit.com/r/CHICubs/comments/1hat5s4/merkin_white_sox_to_sign_mike_tauchman/

Yes. Rockies and Cubs fans love him.

If we have to fill it out with vets, I'm cool with fan favorites.

Wild

SMU Clemson was wild. Interesting to see how the committee screws SMU now

Even then I'm not sure they can afford the immediate PR disaster it would cause. Then again I guess there's no real PR to save at this point.

Theres no way they're stupid enough to send Crochet to the Cubs. I know they are very very very stupid too, but not quite that dumb.

Could get the next Davis Martin if we trade Davis Martin.

Damn. One of the best talking heads too.

Extending Crochet should be done

I assume first one is Miguel Vargas. Yes I would absolutely take a rule 5 chance on Vargas if we could. I would also trade this pick for a 5+ WAR pitcher too but alas.

I would take Ward #1 since he can play both corners, 1B + DH. I doubt any hitters worth taking get to round 2. There will be intriguing pitchers in round 2. And round 3 for that matter.

Too quick to rules yourselves out there, no? Although I guess committee will find any reason to put Bama in.

Reffing was indeed shameful

Fighting fathoms going to do it.

They got 14 points off the final two touchdowns. Exactly as you'd expect and it made no difference in the end. Lots of other things to complain about though

That wouldn't have mattered unless for some reason you wanted them going for 2 the second time down four.

He did compare himself to a slave when in the minor leagues 2 years ago and I believe threatened retirement Yermin style. And that was all publicly so yeah I'm sure it's no better behind the scenes.

I dont get protecting some of the releivers since there's enough room for them in the bullpen anyways for them to be there. McGough in particular. I guess we shall see though.
