I don't believe 11th overall picks get paid that well? It's not like he is set for life. If he works hard for 6 years he can get himself a 100+ million $$$ guaranteed pay day. They have some of the best training facilities on earth in AZ and a great training program. I'll admit he kind of reminds me of the kid in Trouble with the Curve but it's probably just his size and accent. An arm bar is different than a hitch, no? He may never pan out, but if anyone has some extra reasons to succeed, this kid has them. Excited to have a couple mashers in the system with Sheets as well. We're the Chicago White Sox for crying out loud. Excited for today thanks everyone for the scouting reports and input. A lot of us don't know anything about any one of these guys. Nobody really knows any of these guys, we just google them faster.

QUOTE (gatnom @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:20 AM) On the drafting for need point, I would be pretty surprised if they didn't group prospects into tiers and if they didn't select somebody from the best available tier. Yeah, I think people's BPA with the mlb draft is kind of overblown. But I think the tiers were influenced by trait needs in the whole farm system not major league team needs. Last year we began addressing obp, this year power. Also have a need of youth. Would guess we'll see a lot of protectable bodies today.

Most draft grades are crazy but baseball would have to take the cake.

Yeah I like the pick, we did not have much power. Just hoped for a prep athlete. Interested to see rest.

Lillian will be happy.

I'm going to give you guys my wish list based off of players I've never seen play or know anything about except I like their blurbs. Hang tight.

I have a feeling these next 20 picks will be pretty dream crushing.

excuse me while I scream at this bulls*** competitive balance section.

Surprised Pearson isn't gone. Guess that workout stuff was overblown.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:45 PM) Remember when the entire draft lasted like 5 hours with each pick in rapid succession over teleconference? That s*** was the best. I know it's obvious but this is the craziest made-for-tv bulls*** in sports, worse that the Super Bowl. They took something great and turned it into a 3 day "event" for no f***ing reason, 99.999% of the baseball fans out there have no idea who these guys are beyond maybe the first 15 top players, there's zero reason to spread this s*** out over 3 days. Who's watching MLB Network day 3? f***ing hell this is stupid. This is correct. Wouldn't mind tv if they didn't wait past the pick and just let the tickets do the work. Talk about the players when they want.
