2013 Draft Day Thread + Cubs Picks Discussion

ABTY:

 

Scout (and apparently Mayo and Callis as well): 'Garner is likely up with Cubs quickly, possibly September, if not next year'...

 

Harold Reynolds says he will be starting tomorrow against the Pirates.

One of the guys mentioned that unlike some guys he may be the type who goes right to the bullpen. But September? Crazy talk.

david garner - rhp -michigan state

 

His comps are Dontrelle Willis and Doc Gooden

More Flash Gordon IMO

Woah. I'm assuming the mean in the pen.

Cubs 4th/5th round choices of Skulina/Masek: solid value?

 

Klaw

(2:56 PM)

 

 

 

Skulina's got a huge arm, good value at that round. Masek was on my top 100, future reliever but a solid one.

ok, for you milb experts, where do the college pitchers start? boise? kane county? daytona?

 

not an expert. I think outside the studs at the top, guys will begin and short season (Boise) and see time in Kane County.

 

 

Cubs take another college RHP, David Garner from Michigan State

 

Next year most all of them will be in KC with a few in extended spring training and Daytona.

 

Combined with Underwood and Blackburn, there's going to be a logjam at Kane County next year.

[BeerHere]

Both Underwood and Blackburn should be in Boise this year, right?

[BeerHere]

Boise season starts one week from today.

where else would there be for them to go? KC? probably not.

[Guest]

the bigger question is does Bryant start at Boise as soon as their season starts?

 

i have no idea how this works.

Rookie ball (AZ Cubs)?

yeah, but it would seem that they'd be moving a bit slow if they played rookie ball again.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

It would be surprising if Blackburn and Underwood aren't in Boise.

They'll be in Boise.

i have no idea how this works.

 

Depends on when he signs (deadline is July 12th). He'll tune up in Mesa and then either go to Boise for a quick stop or go directly to KC.

It's at least doubtful that Bryant signs that quickly. It's probable he signs much closer or even on July 12th([expletive] you Boras). My guess is he'd get a few games in Arizona, a few more in Boise, then hit KC in August. Possibly with a very late promotion to Daytona. Also possible they let him bypass KC and just get 50 games or so in at Daytona. Could also see him in the AFL this year.

Going to KC would cause a logjam of actual prospects in the CIF spots. Candelerio hasn't done well enough to move him up, but has done too well to move down. Can't shift him to first because of Vogelbach.

 

Obviously, they'll put Bryant where he needs to be first and worry about everyone else after. But I'm curious what would happen with those guys.

could he be in KC by July 1st?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

I'll be shocked if Bryant doesn't sign on the date of the deadline.

[BeerHere]

Where does Bryant slot in the top 10?

 

Baez, Bryant, Almora, Soler, Johnson?

well [expletive], i'd like to see him in Wisconsin in July

Not a single HS kid so far. Love this draft.

It's possible. Boras guys do sometimes sign early. But the most likely case is he signs at the deadline and wouldn't be at KC until late in the month.
