2017 Actual MLB Draft Day(s) Thread

[CaliforniaRaisin]

So I don't see Brent Rooker going in the first in any of these mock drafts. Wonder how often it has happened that the (likely) Golden Spikes winner doesn't go in the first round (either that year or the subsequent year)

 

He's actually been rumored to go to the Cubs with one of their first rounders as a signability pick.

I absolutely love the draft. But, we're 95 minutes in and have made 14 horsefeathering picks, with a 4 minute limit on picks. Seriously, WTF Manfred?

the length of time between the 2nd and 3rd picks was so hilariously long that i stopped following after that.

 

gotta speed up the pace of draft.

Interesting. Kid can absolutely mash. .387/.495/.810 (1st in NCAA), 23 HR, 30 doubles (1st in NCAA), 82 RBI (1st in NCAA). Seems like it would be in line with the philosophy we've employed with our last few first rounders.

Wow. And damn.

[Regular Show]

Well that sucks. Good pick for the Yankees.

I have this super unrealistic dream that Peterson somehow slides to us at 27.

Erase that post lol

Wow, got to think at least one team here in the 15-20 got at least a #2 starter between Bukauskas, Schmidt, Faedo and Peterson.

 

Guess Tristan Beck is the last college arm I'm super intrigued in.

DL Hall, HS pitcher picked by the Orioles. The joke practically writes itself

[Regular Show]

I wonder if N. Pearson might make it to the Cubs now. That'd be awesome. N. Allen and N. Pearson would be a good combination for our two picks. Edited June 13, 2017 by Regular Show

Is Jeren Kendall going to fall to 27?

[Bote McBoteface]

Somehow as soon as I saw the name "Mackenzie Gore" i knew that he was a LHP. He's real lucky he's awesome at baseball or that first name woulda been hell to live with through school.

Maybe the Red Sox take him? I believe they drafted him out of HS and really loved him back then. I could totally see him falling to 27.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That's good value for Toronto there.

Dodgers, I'd guess. (Though they love Bubba Thompson, supposedly.)

Zero interest. If his swing and miss issues are that bad in college, god help him as he advances in the minors.

[Splendid Splinter]

His swing scares me. Not sure if he'll be able to cut down the Ks. Remind me of Brett Jackson (Kendall swing isn't as long, but got holes)

His older age and questions about his power in the pros of he's stuck at 1B or LF. Since he's reduced his Ks, I do think his hit tool is underrated by the online scouting agencies.

You're right, I just figured if Thompson was there, they were a lock for him.

 

Now, I kind of want Thompson lol

Agreed on the last sentence.

[Tryptamine]

Damn you Boston.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Romero to the nationals has to be the least surprising pick ever.
