2011 Draft Discussion

Goldstein just tweeted that this guy IS NOT draft eligible. Please God, let this be true.

Maybe Wilken's idea of shocking the world is selecting the BPA.

 

 

Sure would shock the hell out of me.

That just makes it an even bigger shocker!

HAHAHAHA

Damnit, just the first of a string of tweets by hyim that winds up with MLB saying they can't prove he's NOT eligible. :banghead:

If we go out of left field with this pick, I wish Ricketts would literally fire Wilken and Hendry on the spot and I'd be OK with about 10 guys here at NSBB to make the rest of the picks.

Agreed. This rumor makes me wanna vomit. I know Wilken has a decent history and is well-respected. But this is such a good, deep draft. We can't blow this.

With our 2nd pick, we select Yu Darvish!

"As a result, the Office of the Commissioner has determined that Garcia is subject to the First-Year Player Draft. "

I knew it was just a matter of time.

the only thing better than the cubs picking a dud with this pick would be them picking a dud and then not even being allowed to have him. that way they would literally be wasting a pick.

At least that would probably get us a compensation pick next year, so losing the dud would be better than getting the dud.

Anyone know if there's a live feed or will it just be on the MLB Network?

[davell]

The dude on PSD who evidently has sources just said "I'll be shocked if we don't make a shocking pick" basically. It's almost got me wanting to not watch this crap.

MLB.COM is streaming it I believe.

Just take someone who's ranked in the top 50. :banghead: My God, what a bunch of BS to even have to be thinking like this.......

Heard more about newly draft-eligible Cuban LHP Onelkis Garcia Speck. Posting an update at BA. Teams are NOT HAPPY about this

Great, thanks. Though on second though, maybe I don't wanna watch it for fear I may punch a hole in my computer screen after we pick.

[Tryptamine]

So is it just me or does it seem like the Cubs could have just signed the guy instead of bringing light to the fact that he is draft eligible and using a draft pick on him?

And to think, I went to bed hoping we didn't take Starling.

Wait, the Cubs were the ones who told on him? Is that true? The stupidity reaches a new level, just when I didn't think it could go any further.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

They've really classed this up. I remember a few years ago you could get the conference call streaming.

WHY CAN'T I EXPAND TO FULL SCREEN
