2012 Draft Day Thread + Cubs Picks Discussion

[davell]

Piliere said earlier today that Almora will get consideration for his top 25.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Can't wait for a few years when we have Jackson/Almora/Soler as our LF/CF/RF!

 

Kelton/Montanez/Hill/Choi

[UMFan83]

Ugh, of course he finds his way to an NL Central team

[Tryptamine]

Wow, good luck Pirates.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Try not to [expletive] in me too hard for asking this, but what seperates Almora from Jackson and Szczur, other than age?

[El Duderino]

Player Comparison: Justin Verlander

 

lololololololololololololol

Guys, Appel was not some superior talent that the Pirates lucked into.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Wow, good luck Pirates.

 

If had had to be an NL Central team, I'm glad it's them.

Jackson + actual hit tool + better defense - a little power.

 

Szczur + actually good at baseball

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

all these guys are big dorks. it is crazy to think about what the minor leagues do to people to change them into the sorts of tools they are by the time they get to the majors.

 

MLB draftees are so much the biggest dorks. Then you got bud who doesn't think today is all that special to get some nice threads on that fit him. King dork.

 

Cubs have CF of their future!. Where have I had that before and no this is not a dig on the curre t draftee.

When Selig first came up to the podium, I thought I was watching a fantasy draft where the guys take it way too far.

I'm wondering if pro coaches won't figure out how to fix whatever the mysterious underperforming is caused by.

For some reason, I see a center field Hunter Pence when analyzing reports on Almora.

Hopefully Almora doesn't look like he was put together with spare limbs when he plays.

Woohoo we drafted Michael Borne

Yes, minus the moving parts. I think Pence is a better comp than [expletive] Braun.

[El Duderino]

How you aren't banned is beyond me.

[sneakypower]

i'll be pretty damn excited if he becomes Michael Bourn

Top 25 prospects in baseball?

 

WTF

[Guancous]

What pitchers would make everyone happy with the supplemental picks?

[davell]

My guess is the Pirates just decided they're the team that's taking the penalties this year.

Is that you Keith Law?

Dynamite drop in.

[Guest]

Michael Bourn is really good

[Have a seat, Neifi]

So is Jason Borne. Who knows, maybe this mythical "Michael Borne" is some sort of love child between Michael Bourn, the professional baseball player, and Jason Bourne, specially trained super-assassin.
