Nationals took Cole BTW. If they sign him, that would be a tremendous addition that could potentially pair with Strasburg.

 

Big risk/reward for the Nats, not sure how they can affor Harper and Cole after paying Strasburg last year, maybe they are better off financially than I thought. I think Cole ends up in Miami still.

Did I miss Paxton being picked?

No. Well, unless I missed it too.

They could easily afford both of them, just like the Sox could easily afford any draft pick they take as well.. it all comes down to if they actually will pay them or not..

Jays pick Dyson. Nice pick.

Sox take Matthew Grimes another pitcher

Sox select Matt Grimes. High schooler.

 

I love the Brewers pick in Morris. Jeff you know alittle more about him than I do.

The money has to come from somewhere, its not like there is an infinite supply of money for these teams.

Morris went right after the Sox took Grimes. I think we all would have liked to seen Morris picked instead.

Cool, I should be able to find out some solid info on him.

Please do that my good man. I wanted Tillman as far as high schoolers, but Grimes seems like an interesting get. Too bad his first name wasn't Frank.

The owners of these teams are billionaires, if not multi millionaires..

 

Pittsburgh has a 34 million dollar payroll, they could spend if the owner wanted to.. he just doesn't..

Grimey's (he'll be known as no other name to me) delivery reminds me of Greinke a bit....

This from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution yesterday...

 

BACK TO THE BRAVES!!!! There is also speculation that the team will consider Mill Creek pitcher Matthew Grimes with their second pick at No. 53 overall. The 6-foot-6 righty throws 94 mph and has signed with Georgia Tech.

Grimes--this year's Justin jones?

We've seen 2 MLB teams in bankruptcy in the last 2 years.

I like Morris. One of the better college first basemen this year. Decent power but his plate discipline is not so hot.

 

I tweeted this on Grimes:

Grimes' fastball sits 90-92 and touching 95. Above average curve, potentially average change. Nice upside.

 

Good projectability too, could be a mid rotation type.

But, but they're billionaires. They're in bankruptcy because they choose to be.

Here's a couple of notes I just found on Grimes...

 

Grimes continues rapid development for Hawks

A quote from the Georgia Tech website...

Baseball america on Grimes:

Another player with Top 200 talent who was on the rise, righthander Matthew Grimes has a Georgia Tech baseball commitment and a projectable 6-foot-5 body. Some scouts question how much weight Grimes will add to his skinny frame, but with his long levers he generates intriguing fastball velocity. He sits at 89-91 mph but touches 93-94, with the ability to throw downhill, and has improved his breaking ball, which he throws with power and tilt in the upper 70s at his best. Grimes' detractors consider him a tough sign away from Tech and worry about the life on his fastball. He does have a clean arm and good mechanics after toning down a slight head jerk.

Morris went right after the Sox took Grimes. I think we all would have liked to seen Morris picked instead.

 

 

Was hoping for Morris as well. We got lucky with the last Auburn 1B why not try our hand on another. Oh well though, don't know much about Grimes, but it sounds like he'll be hard to sign.

Colorado taking every ACC quarterback they can find!
