Lol wtf

Wow surprise right off the bat

I’m doing espn they did a good job on the nfl draft

Kiley has ed Howard 10! Hope so for his sake. Don’t stop get it get it

what’s consensus we doin espn or mlb?

Very exciting draft!

Definitely Jake Eder then

I’ve never heard this debate I’m only familiar with bad white sox draft comp vs bad white sox draft comp. Im assuming you meant it’s a choice between Aaron poreda or uh *looks through draft history* Steve...uh Steve trout

Funny binary choice between Detmers whose stuff people can’t seem to square up despite average velocity and Crochet who hitters seem to be able to square up too much despite elite stuff.

Just remember this is the first time the writers are getting fast and furious info via negotiations with agents. They had no team activity like normal. Our expectation of value might be way off from what orgs had.

Illinois is now below 3% positive rate. It needs to be here for test and trace to work.

we say Lacy but it doesn't feel like hancock has a hard destination yet.

10:51 AM:. Multiple sources including Kiley McDaniel of ESPN and Baseball America are reporting that a combination of Austin Martin at pick two and Pennsylvania prep righthander Nick Bitsko at pick thirty is in play for the Orioles first two selections this evening. That’s estimated in the neighborhood of $10,000,000 to $11,000,000 in pool dollars between their first two picks. However, with the draft’s largest bonus pool at $13,894,300 there’s still plenty of cash (estimated $2,900,000 to $3,300,000 in remaining money) to land talent at picks 39, 74, 103, and 133. great start for baltimores new group.

I wonder how dominant a guy will have to be to be the next prep HS RHP to go 1-1.

Man I think BA May have nailed their mock. so many picks make sense, and Howard to the Dodgers makes you gulp hard. Love the BA dudes even though they overrate heady college players

For me with crochet, probably making a mistake but just seems like recent pitchers like him (Pearson, mclanahan) big dudes, big arms, questionable production or competition, have overperformed recently.

100% baseball in college?

We also have a severe lack of dynamic arms in our minor league system now. Thompson has some project-ability there. We went from "zomg look how many power arms we have" to a bunch of 26 year old rhps from louisville throwing 88 across our A and AA teams.

um yes i will take crochet/kelly, thank you.

not gonna lie if their scouts feel like crochet was different this year...it's just a different draft. I didn't get to see any of these guys. There's highlights and that's cool and all. If the sox swing crochet and get a dynamite #2 that's interesting. Crochet is an insanely talented arm we know very little about. Abel didn't even pitch his senior year. Maybe he gets shelled! Bitsko people are going off his circuit when nobody was scouting him! I'm just saying if they get swing crochet/howard or something it changes it. I could very well see a situation where they felt very similar to a lot of these guys and felt like they could get 2 in the same tier with their budget.

Jeebus, I didn't remember him that big.

I don't feel that strongly and could make a case for most, didn't want bailey and that seems to be in past. Will take: I think it's Abel or Detmers depending on how it shakes out Should take: I am pro either of those guys, but also have come on late to PCA and Hassel. Still really like Cavalli, and obviously like Howard. The one thing with Howard is I just feel like he's risky but also he's a dude that might show up when baseball restarts and has exploded. I just love how people describe how he plays/feels the game and it seems like he's still getting to learn how to use his body offensively.

cubs.

Keon Barnum was 6'4, 224 when drafted

that dude looks 28
