Supplemental round is too fast to keep up

Come on, take Lindor at no. 2

[Rob]

Not at all shocked to see Cole go #1.

[Rob]

+1

[Bruno7481]

Not at all shocked to see Cole go #1.

 

But he was 6-8 in College ball....

:wink:

[Tryptamine]

yeah this number 2 and number 7 pick are the huge ones on determine who is there for the Cubs.

[Rob]

Mariners take Hultzen #2 overall. That's good for us.

[Tryptamine]

Did not see that coming.

[javy knows my name]

WOAH!

[imb]

HELL YES

[Guest]

meh, one of the top six picks going in the top six doesn't really help us.

[Tryptamine]

It interrupts the Diamondbacks plans for their 7th pick.

[davell]

I'm going to be Randy Quaid in Major League 2, I'm afraid........Doesn't matter, we'll blow it anyway.

[Guancous]

I love how every mock draft got destroyed by the second pick.

[CubsWin]

Hultzen 2nd...interesting. Not a big change, but not predicted.

[Guest]

I'd be happier if they had taken Lindor. What we need are teams picking outside the top 6 guys so that one HAS to fall to us.

[thefranchise]

Law says Bauer is next pick

[pitchcs]

Bauer or Bundy next?

[utkcub]

Rendon :beg:

[Tryptamine]

The Orioles are in on Bundy right?

[Guest]

Let's daydream.

 

Arizona takes Bauer at 3 and can't spend at 7, Cleveland can't spend huge at 8. That makes Baltimore, KC, Washington as the stretch that keeps us from Rendon. KC likes Moustakas too much and takes Lindor, and Starling and Bundy are too much for the Capitol area teams to pass up.

 

 

Please.

[imb]

Now we hope they go cheap at 7.

Like the way you think, TT.

[Guest]

Pretty pumped for cole and Bauer, even if Cole will be in the NL Central.

[CubsWin]

Kevin Goldstein is hearing rumors that Baltimore will select Jed Bradley. That's Jed.
