2011 MLB Draft Thread

[Rob]

Pirates just started off Round 2 with a bang. Damn.

[thefranchise]

Josh Bell to the Pirates

[davell]

And Bell is gone. Pittsburgh goes into this thing the absolute right way. Gotta hand it to them.

[davell]

Kind of glad Mariners took Miller there. Seemed like a Wilken type to me anyway.

[jersey cubs fan]

Wow the Pirates are really spending some money.

 

They just picked the guy, they didn't sign him. The guy on the feed is convinced he's going to college.

[davell]

Meo would have been a solid pick for us though. damn, Arizona has picked up some serious pitching.

Yes, but they're at least showing that they're willing to pony up some cash.

Goodwin got kicked out of UNC and had a mediocre season. He went whee expected. That sais, he had potential to be a top 10 pick in 2012 and just adds to Washington's strong draft.

[davell]

Esposito is solid value there.

I realize this is getting nitpicky but again, if they don't sign him, they really aren't showing anything. Maybe they want him to turn them down and go to college.

[davell]

We're going to have some damn good options.

[Tryptamine]

oh damn it one pick before the Cubs.

[davell]

Maples or Purke, please.

[Men in Blue]

Yes, the Nats are having themselves some kind of draft.

 

Player: Brian Goodwin

Position: OF

School: Miami-Dade Junior Collefe

Date Of Birth: 11/2/1990

Height/Weight: 6’1/190

Bats/Throws: L/R

Class Of: 2013

Previously Drafted: 2009, 17th Rd, White Sox

 

Scouting Report:

 

Brian Goodwin is a top athlete and one of the most dynamic talents available in the 2011 draft.

 

Goodwin is filled with potential offensively. He has a good approach at the plate and is willing to take a walk. He has plus bat speed. Goodwin’s swing is not geared to for hitting home runs, but he should be in the 10-15 home run range. He is also a threat to steal once he is on base. The only drawback for Goodwin is that he does tend to swing and miss a bit too often.

 

Goodwin should be able to remain in center at the next level. He covers plenty of ground and has a plus arm. His breaks and routes need work.

 

Goodwin should be taken somewhere between the later 1st round and the end of the supplemental round. His game needs some polish, but there is plenty of potential here.

[davell]

Oh SHIIIIIIIIITE!!!!!!

 

 

 

Not a Wilken type pick at all, but I do like it ALOT!!!!!!!

[jersey cubs fan]

I'm confused, they are talking about Tigers and the 76th pick but it was the Astrols at 69. What the heck?

[Tryptamine]

Any chance Dillon Maples slide to the 3rd?

[davell]

Any chance Dillon Maples slide to the 3rd?

 

 

Who knows? Maybe, if he has signability issues we haven't heard? Or an injury.

[Tryptamine]

Man Blue Jays potentially spending a ton of cash early on as well.

[davell]

Tilson to the Cards.

[jersey cubs fan]

Pittsburgh starts round 3 with an Indiana University 1B Alex Dickerson.

[thefranchise]

Damn Purke gone

[Rob]

Washington is definitely trying to stock up.

[davell]

Vollmuth is really solid value at 105 for Oakland.

[davell]

Stilson's injury hurt him, but I was hoping he'd be around much later than 108.
