Schwarber is basically Prince Fielder which is why this pick doesnt make any sense.

Surprise the Cubs went underslot

Potential Ace going number 1. Makes plenty of sense for the Astros.

Yeah and spoilers= bad

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:09 PM) Johnny football for sure. I knew he wasnt going number 1....Clowney or a trade down were the only real choices

Johnny Manziel or Clowney to Houston at 1

Tell Bud to stop talking

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:00 PM) He is a reach at 3 to me. I do not want him at 3. I'll throw out my full opinion on him now. I dont think he is going to be an effective starter. I believe he'll end up in the pen when its all said and done. I dont think his secondary pitches will ever get to the point where he can consistently get batters out.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:51 PM) Everytime I hear someone say Nola In my head all I hear is the Kinks song Lola. Taking him at 3 is not going to make me happy. I get the reasoning but I dont think his potential is as great as the big 3.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 04:46 PM) I'm starting to be more alright with Nola, and I don't think the reason we like him is only because he'd be "cheaper". He'll be in the majors quickly. The thing about it is how effective can he be. I think Rodon right now could get pitchers out.

So it went from Rodon to Kolek and now were on Nola

I dont see Jackson getting past the Mariners

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) Haha the fact we answered simultaneously completely opposite of each other should tell everyone what type of draft this is going to be. Wacky Yep for sure...it depends on what teams value as far as price and all around playing ability. Jackson you just want him to hit the crap out of the ball and anything you get from him defensively is a bonus.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) Is Jackson the overwhelming top bat? Yes...you put him in the OF and let him swing away. That's what your drafting him for.

I cant wait to watch the Cubs fan's reactions when they go underslot

Nice win...Danks and Belly did a good job pitching. Now lets get a win tomorrow in the draft.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 03:47 PM) Aiken is who I want. That's my choice as well

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:14 AM) Just worry about what is happening now.. You can do both

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:06 AM) What do you think his ceiling is? #2 in the rotation

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:01 AM) You don't like his curve? He gets great velocity separation between fastball and changeup too, fade too. Sometimes...and then there are times when he tends to float it. I have it at average to above average at some points. I think he is going to the Phillies....maybe starting in a few years as a number 2 at the highest. That's where I have him.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 11:49 PM) As I said, based on the stuff being better than a lot of people give him credit for. I think he can be an excellent #2, or a #1 on some teams, and has a terrific chance of doing just that. I would agree if you didnt get disappointed with the rest of his pitches after watching his fastball

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 11:42 PM) As a fan I would not be very happy If Sox do not get 1 of big 3. Agreed

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 11:44 PM) I think his ceiling is higher than a lot of people think. Based on what and how high?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 11:38 PM) I just want Sox to take best guy and not get cute trying draft lesser guy to save money. Sox spent less than anyone before new CBA on draft and it shows badly now. I want KW nowhere near this pick. He will be the less money guy...unfortunately I dont think he is going to be anywhere near as good as these top 3 guys could be. Oh and btw I hope his parents kicked the crap out of his manager for abusing his arm the other day.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 11:33 PM) If the Sox end up taking Kolek over Nola, it might be the most un-Sox like move in a very long time. Nola's upside is not high enough to draft him top 3. He'll probably be one of the first to the majors.
