June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 07:30 AM) When does day two get going? Noon ET.
June 7, 201114 yr This might be the least interested I've been in following the draft since 2003. And I'm dead serious. I have no idea whether it's from not following college baseball that much this year, not hearing about under the radar high schoolers locally or from getting this new job which is night shift, or even not having a first round pick, I've just lost the energy for it.
June 7, 201114 yr Why have said players fallen? Has to be signability, right? No doubt the Rays clean house today anyways. Knowing what they have in place, they reach with their own second rounder (I imagine they have it still) and take high upside players they can sign with their other 28 picks.

June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:11 AM) Please sign Bell, Pittsburgh! They've spent more on the draft than anybody the last 3 years. They must feel pretty confident they can get something done.
June 7, 201114 yr Good for the Pirates on Bell. I hope they sign him. Have to like that Pitt has been dumping money into the draft lately.
June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) Bauer, Bradley, and Meo? Amazing. Nationals, Pirates and D-backs all with A+.
June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) Nationals, Pirates and D-backs all with A+. Your insistence to declare drafts as successes or failures after two picks is idiotic.
June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:14 AM) Nationals, Pirates and D-backs all with A+. lol, a couple picks into round 2 and you're giving people A+ grades on drafts that wont even matter for 3 years
June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:17 AM) lol, a couple picks into round 2 and you're giving people A+ grades on drafts that wont even matter for 3 years To this point, yes. And let's not act like I'm the only human being on the planet that gives out draft grades right away. Happens in every sport. I'm not waiting until 2015.

June 7, 201114 yr I happen to like viewing grades...as long as you take them as prognostication and nothing else.
June 7, 201114 yr I'd like to see video of a draft seven years ago and see how much these guys get drooled over...never to be seen again.
June 7, 201114 yr I don't mind giving draft's flash grades, but we just need to realize as good as drafts look today, those same ones will look very bad in four years. And vice versa. I would be interesting to see how Baseball America's draft grades look four years later. Probably very little correlation.
