June 5, 201213 yr Great for the Pirates. Sox might have one of the high school prep players available. I'm back to 100% on Stroman though. Love the stuff and I'll take my chances that his body can take the abuse.
June 5, 201213 yr Some teams are going to regret passing on this guy. His ceiling is that of a middle rotation starter and the upside is solid. Very strong mechanics, improving secondary stuff, strong velocity on his fastball. Great pick by the Pirates.
June 5, 201213 yr That's awesome for Pirates, cool to see. Sox were never going to sign Appel, so it's just one more person to fall to the Sox.
June 5, 201213 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 05:56 PM) Appel, Stroman, and Giolito are my choices in that order Robin loves Giolito...........
June 5, 201213 yr Heaney off the board. I don't really like Wacha, other then I can make comments like Wacha Wacha. Only bright side is his changeup is nasty and his fastball is solid with a good build. If he can develop the other pitches, I guess I can see why scouts like him, but for a college guy he's not very developed.
June 5, 201213 yr i wasnt a fan of heaney, not upset. im hoping hawkins/dahl/giolito Edited June 5, 201213 yr by staxx
June 5, 201213 yr Only three more picks ahead of us. Think all three will be going for pitching? I think not.

June 5, 201213 yr Wacha doesn't excite me. I don't mind him in a vacuum, but certainly not over Stroman.
