2014 Cubs Pick Discussion

[davell]

AJ Vanegas should make for a quick moving power reliever and cheap senior.

 

God, it feels like he was originally drafted 10 years ago.

[A New Era]

Pankake? Must take based on name alone.

 

I'm a fan if he can stick at 3B. Also like his teammate Tannger English as a CF. Is Greg Allen gone (San Diego State CF)? If not, he's probably my favorite bat out there.

 

If you want him to stick, better use crisco.

How would that make him stick?

Bobby Bonilla's son is a lefty at Grand Canyon. Can touch mid-90s.

Some dude named Tommy Thorpe, not on BA's top 500. the [expletive].

[RammyFanny]

Anyone bring up Cease's twitter yet (assuming it's him)? Lol.

THE University of Vanderbilt 2014 commit. Give a man a team, and you can win a game. Give me one catcher, and I'll win chamionships. I am the next Nolan Ryan

I'm not cocky. I just know I'm better than you

Dylan Cease @OldDylancease7 · Oct 10

Do you think I'd win a Americas Got Talent if I stood up on stage and just threw one pitch? #ithinkyes

Dylan Cease @OldDylancease7 · Oct 7

Why am I in school? I'm getting drafted and don't need to be smart #itisntcockyifitstrue

Just took an All-American dump

Cease's congeniality and modesty have been mentioned in various places, yes.

Cease and Sands cost money......

No, but I'm digging his douchiness. I mean confidence.

yeah, but at least take a dude with a scouting report.

Wow, seems like an omission on their part.

 

Oregon's ace this year, started for part of the year on Fridays last year too. Works upper 80s from what I remember.

There's no doubt some fine print in dad's contract that the Mets have to pay his bonus.

[Guest]

Kiley McDaniel included Thorpe in a list of players going in rounds 6-8 from the Pacific Northwest.

He's also a junior, which would seem to indicate they can't low ball him. Maybe they know he's desperate to get some cashe

I'm wrong too, he's a Junior. Saw his birthday and figured he was a cheap senior sign.

Think #Cubs are killing it today. Every player they picked in 1st 7 rounds was in top 200 of BA. If they sign 'em all, big day #mlbdraft

Oh, didn't see anyone mention his class. Yeah, he's a junior. He's pitched in the Oregon rotation since his freshman year (part time), so that's not bad. You're hoping for something like Jokisch out of him.

Which is why you don't lose your [expletive] on day one.

I saw this, and I don't really get it. So every guy the took up to pick #199 was in the BA top 200 and that means they're killing it?

Killing it by not taking any scrubs, I guess.

If only the organization were paying somebody evaluate these kids and compile their own scouting report.
