He's an ESPN guy and he actually IS one of the best out there.

 

Agreed. Glad Kiley found his way to ESPN after leaving BP.

Who should we be hoping for at 43 and 56, other than obvious overslots like Smoral?

There are tons of pitchers all lumped together at this point. Yeah, there's a few left I really, really would be thrilled with, but I'm superstitious about this kind of [expletive]. but even if they go away, there's 20ish others that I'm hoping we get 3 of at 43, 56, and 67.

Seriously made me cry, what a good kid. I trust our new braintrust. This kid def has the right attitude. Combine that with talent I think we got someone special here.

Thanks for the link. Kid comes off as a genuinely nice guy. I'm really loving the pick.

Worth it to blow the rest of the draft on McCullers?

[El Duderino]

Ooooooooooooh.

[Vanilla Ice]

Just kidding

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Ask Houston, they just took him.

[Outshined_One]

Not any more.

[Tryptamine]

Really smart move by Astros. Go cheaper on Correa and still get McCullers. Really really good draft.

[El Duderino]

Smoooooooooorrrrrrraaaaaaallllllllllllllll.

[Tryptamine]

Ok Theo you know what to do. Smoral, make it happen.

[Rob]

Smoooooooooorrrrrrraaaaaaallllllllllllllll.
