Royals with a great pick. Wow, if Melville pans out too they're going to be stacked.

#12. Kansas City Royals - Aaron Crow, RHP, Fort Worth Cats

Edited by jenks45monster

Damn you Royals!!!

 

We probably wouldn't have taken him anyway.

Well done Soxtalk. 3 of us predicted Crow to Royals. Kinda hurts me. He's such a stud.

I can't see the Sox taking Scheppers or Gibson. Goes against our style.

In terms of what? Gibson doesn't have high demands or anything. He's a college pitcher with a good arm. Fits right into our style. Scheppers demands haven't been ridiculous, most everyone has speculated similar to Crow's price range. Plus whoever drafts him has leverage. The injuries are a question though.

I can't see the Sox giving 1st round money to these guys with HUGE injury concerns.

Oakland going to take Green?

Damn. I am pissed. Can't root for him like I was going to do.

Green goes here and than one of the prep Texas kids will go to the Rangers right after. Brothers might go to the Tribe right after. That would be my guess at least, but they could take a shot at Gibson, but I doubt it. I see the Tribe taking an arm though.

After picking Weeks and trading for Cardenas last year?

Cleveland would LOVE the chance to take Alex White.

Per usual, the White Sox will get the opportunity to pick up one of the best players in the draft with a low pick. But, we won't pony up the $$ to do that, per usual.

Great call.

Some of us know what we're talking about :P

#13. Oakland Athletics - Grant Green, SS, USC

I still will. The Royals are still the Royals for now. Crow was too much fun to watch in college. Of course, he's probably going to be in the Majors late next year.

I forgot about White. He probably goes to the Tribe. Dang near a lock.

Will Texas pass up Shelby Miller for Alex White? Would be the smart choice.

I see Rangers with miller

I don't think they do. They love the Texas kid, but they'll take Purke, imo.

Four position players taken in the first 13 picks in Ackley, Tate, Sanchez, and Green.

I don't get why people keep mentioning whether or not Crow will sign. I don't know the guy or much regarding his situation, but after you already don't sign once, you don't do it again. Unless, of course, you want to be like Matt Harrington, who is now a mechanic making little money when he had an opportunity to sign for millions. Unless Crow is a complete dumbass, he'll sign for a fair amount.

Nolan Ryan loves Shelby Miller

Great selection by the Rangers, and now as already mentioned, the Indians will probably take White.
