2018 Actual MLB Draft Day(s) Thread

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Stewart to the Braves is my guess.

 

Yeah, that seems like the prevailing opinion here.

 

Stewart to Atlanta, Swaggerty to Oakland, Liberatore to Pittsburgh is my guess.

[UK]

Pittsburgh will probably luck into Liberatore.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Weathers over Liberatore is a surprise. Knowing that is David Weathers kid, makes me feel old.

 

Sounds like an underslot thing.

[Splendid Splinter]

So 8 picks in a hour. Pretty quick.

Yeah, I know we shouldn't judge the kid based on his parents, but I hated Weathers when he was on the Cubs. At least I think I did...

 

I like Liberatore way more. Surprised by that decision. Maybe an underslot deal was the difference?

[Agony and Ivy]

Pace of play, bro.

 

Also, why are we not hearing more from actual scouting people. I don't think people who like to hear Harold Reynolds talk are tuning into the draft. I know because they're all on twitter talking about how stupid Theo is today.

[Splendid Splinter]

3,000+ spin rate on his curve? That's insane...

Highest spin rate curveball ever recorded by TrackMan.

Stewart just said "I'm trying to stay calm. Trying to stay posed."

You should watch video of his curveball. It's crazy impressive.

 

Best curveball and breaking ball in the draft by far. I'm sure I can find a gif somewhere...

Murray at 9. Wow. Some pitching is dropping.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Holy crap, Billy Beane.

[UK]

Stewart has the highest upside, IMO in this draft.

[UK]

That surprised me.

[CubinNY]

Harold Reynolds love the “intangibles”.

[toonsterwu]

I'm stunned at Murray going that high. Beane and Forst's guys have to be right on this (that is, cross-checkers checking what it would take) ... still for Oakland, makes me wonder if spending so much on Murray is worth it. There's immense talent, but it seems like it's going to take a lot of time and work.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The new market efficiency is toolsy outfielders who sign for above slot.

Yeah I knew his curve is filthy, but didn't knew the spin rate was THAT high.

[Tryptamine]

The Orioles have to be salivating, Liberatore/Winn/SInger all there for them at #11.

[UK]

Nice Pick for Pitt with Swaggerty.

 

Keeps the high ceiling arms falling too...

[CyHawk_Cub]

The Cubs are gonna wind up taking a yucky pitcher aren't they. Too many are gonna be there.

[UK]

The Orioles have to be salivating, Liberatore/Winn/SInger all there for them at #11.

 

Liberatore has to be the pick, IMO.

Soon we get to find out which they will ruin
