2013 Draft Day Thread + Cubs Picks Discussion

[Guest]

I expect some heated debate over whether Soler or Bryant is a better prospect, with Soler winning at first but evening out once Bryant gets some pro time under his belt.

 

our top 4 hitting prospects are pretty insane

Yeah, I was just getting ready to pose the "Rank our top 4 prospects" question.

[Vinestal]

So when and where do you guys figure we'll see him playing? Daytona?

[Rob]

Appel is quoting scripture. I'm sure that would have played out wonderfully in the locker room.

Vogelbach is still the best hitter in the system.

Thank you for making me happy we didn't pick him.

Yeah, I was just getting ready to pose the "Rank our top 4 prospects" question.

 

I go:

Bryant

Soler

Almora

Baez

 

But I could easily be swayed to flop the first two. It's very close.

ok, top 4 position prospects

[Guest]

is bryant a little old for a junior?

[Guest]

I'd like to see one of the prospect guys comment on where Bryant might fall on the top 100.

[Guest]

They announced Frazier as a 3B?

[Coach C]

Nice hair Frazier....

[Guest]

of course this little goon is the first one to come up to the podium

[Guest]

Does anyone think the extra time had to do with getting someone to agree (or someone else not agreeing) to contract terms?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

According to his bio on USD's site, Kris Bryant went to Bonanza High School.

[Guest]

There's no way he's 6'1"

[Guest]

Come one Manaea at 41 (if his medicals checked out)

 

Not worth it.

Yeah, I've been soured on taking the injured, dropping guy ever since Brownlie, tbh.

 

There should be other signability guys with better health plus some intriguing, healthy college arms (one of Alex Gonzalez, Alex Balog, Andrew Thurman, Aaron Blair or Chris Anderson should be there).

[Guest]

They announced Frazier as a 3B?

 

He played there until his junior year in HS. No way he doesn't play OF in the pros.

[Coach C]

There's no way he's 6'1"

 

Are you talking about Clint Frazier?

 

If so, I agree. He doesn't look like 6'1".

Soler is 7 weeks younger than Bryant. Given all his wonderful peripherals, I need to see Bryant on a professional field before I think about him over Soler. I'm apparently higher than Almora than most, but I think he and Bryant are pretty level at this point.

That's why I'm surprised.

Then he should probably stop getting outhit by so many guys.

[illiniguy]

Can Frazier's swing really play against big league pitchers?

[Guest]

I love it.
