2012 Draft Day Thread + Cubs Picks Discussion

[davell]

We just drafted Rhett Wiseman. No chance in hell we get him.

That sucks. My last name is Wiseman and I'd LOVE for a Wiseman to play for the Cubs.

 

I know nothing about him, but much like this post, Twitter says he's a "swing for the fences" pick and a tough sign. I want him.

 

He's a Vandy commit. Extremely smart. Solid, all around CF. Borderline top 100 guy, but has always wanted to play for Vanderbilt.

Oh, I'm sure he'll take 100K and walk away.

 

F you, owners.

And apparently not signable.

But it's the cubs! And Theo! You gotta sign!

 

I like that at least we are going to give it a try.

In the 27th, we took Tyler Bremer. I think we've drafted him previously. RHP He's a senior out of Baylor now. Think we may have drafted him out of a JUCO. At one point, he was a borderline top 200ish guy. Guess not so much now.

28th round C LANCE RYMEL C, SR OUT OF ROGERS ST

[davell]

Completely random, non-Cub draft thing: Brian Johnson's,( LHP picked by the Red Sox in the 1st round,) mom is one of the Doublemint twins.

Nice Fangraphs article on Wiseman + Cubs.

Fisher, one of the C's we took today, was listed by PG as a top 350 guy, so he's not an easy sign.

Yes. He doesn't show up on the BA undrafted list.

 

Thanks. If just popped up on the UCLA Twitter acct. 27th rd to the Reds. Don't think he'll sign.

Granted, you won't get them ALL, but that HAS to be the best 5 man pitching recruiting class of all time, right? Giolito/Fried/Virant/Kaprelian/Poteet. Good lord.

Let's hope they all go to college!

37 CLAYTON CRUM JUCO HOWARD COLLEGE RHP. We drafted him a few years ago for sure. No clue what his situation is now, but I think he IS near the bottom of the BA top 500.

 

edit- Crum is 238th on BA's list. Again, probably very tough to sign.

38 HASSAN EVANS HERKIMER COUNTY CC CF

[davell]

Also, our 16th rounder, Hamman or whatever, is 326 on BA's top 500. So, there's at least some decent talent there.

[davell]

And we just took Rustin, son of Dale. I'm sure he's a well skilled bunter.
