This draft is taking WAAAAAYYYYY too long, won't see our second pick til 1030 at this rate

 

I'll say 9:50-10. After the first round, they take less time. 2 minutes, I think.

 

First round should be over at 9:25.

Is it me or is the draft moving a lot slower this year?

The clock for the first round is drawn out compared to other rounds. Believe the second round is every 1:00.

Harold Reynolds and John Hart are a deadly combination.

Ok, I never agree with Dick Allen about anything but Selig's pronunciation of Los Angeles is beyond annoying.

 

Yeah, but imagine their faces when the Marlins ALSO took Kolek.

Really like Grant Holmes. Think he's a steal here.

A Jason Parks jerk-fest coming up soon with Holmes getting picked. The only thing that would make Parks more excited would have been if the Cubs took him, even at #4.

There it is....

 

Jason Parks ‏@ProfessorParks 8m

f*** yes. Huge value for #Dodgers getting Grant Holmes at #22. I love this pick. #MLBDraft

Is this kid slow?

I wanted the girl interviewing him to say.. "Allllllllrighty then. Thank god you were born with that arm. Yeeeesh."

 

 

RODON B*TCHES!!!

 

A real victory for us legends who wanted the Sox to lose down the stretch last year. We were not the heroes the Sox deserved, but the ones they needed.

Hope Tigers don't take Burdi. He could help that pen this year.

Derek Hill to the Tigers? He is not their type! Where is the power armed reliever selection?! Nothing makes sense anymore.

It seems like there has been incredibly few surprises tonight which is pretty rare for an MLB draft.

Hope they do. Realistically we have little or no chance of beating the Tigers this year, the true battle is over the next few years, the more picks they spend on relievers, the better.

 

They took Hill, damn.

Hill's dad, Orsino Hill, played for the Sox org years ago.

And the few surprises have been pleasant for us.

The Cubs are the only ones who really went off of the rails tonight, followed by the Marlins.

Part of me feels that with the Cubs picking behind the Sox, the Sox were a little more willing to go big and not have to answer questions about being cheap or avoiding Boras.

The Cubs are the only ones who really went off of the rails tonight, followed by the Marlins.

 

And with the Marlins it is really hard to say that taking a guy who a lot of people had as a top 3 pick that is one of the hardest throwers ever at #2 is really a surprise or crazy.

Pirates might have a surprise pick evidently.

Maybe a surprise but definitely not crazy.

I hate that nobody at MLB Network has corrected Amsinger on the pronunciation of Gillaspie. Two years in the bigs, man.
