Been saying this was likely for a while, but #Alabama OF and #Cubs 8th-rdr Taylor Dugas officially headed back to college. #mlbdraft #SEC

my twitter feed is going to be blowing up for the next hour

 

It's been awfully quiet for the last 5 minutes...

For the more informed: do most 1st round picks normally go right to the wire like this? I know some did but not sure to what extent

Is the guy who apparently hates Shawon Dunston Jr

 

And if you're wondering about his scouting eye, his live blog of the NBA '07 draft consisted of

 

Liking

Oden

Conley

Corey Brewer

Brandon Wright

Acie Law

Julian Wright

Morris Almond (WHO??)

Zack Randolph back when he was still a fat tub of goo

Marco Belinelli

Jason Smith

Jared Dudley

Derrick Byars(??)

The '07-'08 Knicks

 

Disliking

Durant

Horford

Jeff Green

Al Thornton

Noah

Hawes

Stuckey

Channing Frye

Wilson Chandler

Aaron Brooks

Arron Afflolo

 

 

Just an amazing run of incompetence.

RT @jjcoop36: Wildest hour of the #mlbdraft we've ever seen. Last year at this time, 11 first-rounders were unsigned. This year: 23.

I thought it was Richard Alpert without the guy liner.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I thought it was Richard Alpert without the guy liner.

 

He turned out to be wrong about everything too, iirc.

@keithlaw

Not high. Nonzero but not high. RT @lebonicus: @keithlaw What are the chances Cubs get a deal done with Dillon Maples?

 

Let's all laugh at him if he's wrong.

 

Hopefully Kendall Rodgers knows something Law doesn't.

seems like the yankees are going over slot more than they used to.

i have to say, this whole process has gotten a bit absurd. you had the draft two months ago and 23 of 32 first round picks are unsigned with an hour left.

Doesn't just F5 work?

[StarlinOnYou]

12 minutes left and no news?

most of the first round is still supposedly unsigned.

It DOES!

 

Also, news of major signings will be trickling out about an hour or two after the deadline passes.

[Outshined_One]

Apparently the Pirates are making a late run at Josh Bell.

 

Hold onto your butts...

[Dave23]

Maples's Facebook page has me optimistic...

[Vanilla Ice]

JJ Cooper

At this point last year, Bryce Harper and Manny Machado had signed, just was a matter of cleaning up the last few picks...22 1st rdrs to go

[TruffleShuffle]

the fax machine at mlb offices may explode at 11:59

[SouthSideRyan]

Welp, hope I have good news when I wake up tomorrow.

[TruffleShuffle]

goodwin supposedly signed with nats for $3m

[Vanilla Ice]

Maples's Facebook page has me optimistic...

I'm hearing that he's signed.. don't know how much. Take it for however much you trust me.

[cubsfan2011]

Don't think this is a surprise, but #Cubs aren't getting RHP Ricky Jacquez. He'll take his 95 mph fastball and hammer CB to #Texas #mlbdraft

Kind of a bummer, but considering the Cubs are likely going to end up with Maples and Dunston, it's not the end of the world.

Just give me something about Baez.
