    And who would you have picked?
  2. Rob
    32 walks to 3 strikeouts. I know high school numbers dont mean much and so there's some mixed reports on his plate discipline, but I think its best we withhold judgment on that until we've seen him play some games professionally.
  3. Rob
    Who else is out there worth spending big on? Maybe Bell? Bell sent a letter to all the teams pleading not to draft him because he's going to school. Asking for a $30 million bonus is negotiating. Telling teams not to bother until 2014 is not. The rumored pricetag to get him away from his college commitment was 5.8-6.2 mil. I'm not saying he's worth anywhere near that much. But he was probably a bit better than Baez... just not 3-4 mil better.

    Mahtook is the classic low ceiling, high floor type. Safe, but wont be a difference maker. We can buy these guys in free agency every year. Baez has the chance to be something really special... the bat speed is unreal. He probably wont stick at short, but there's still some very good upside with him.

    Not complaining at all. Edit: Also, called it like a full minute earlier than Keith Law. I'm a badass.
  7. Rob
    Same. There's a good 8-9 guys I'd be okay with. And yet I'm still scared shitless.
  8. Rob
    Thoughts on Baez?
  9. Rob
    I think I'd rather have the Cuban guy.
  10. Rob
    Something in my gut says no. I think it's gonna be Mahtook/Springer.
  11. Rob
    This sucks. Nobody fell.
  12. Rob
    Damn. We're gonna do something stupid.
  13. Rob
    Damnit

    Looks like Rendon is going #6. Hope for a signability pick at #7, Bradley at #8, and that would leave Archie for us.
  15. Rob
    Mariners take Hultzen #2 overall. That's good for us.
  16. Rob
    +1
  17. Rob
    Not at all shocked to see Cole go #1.
  18. Rob
    Funny thing is that makes him a FA, so we can still get him if we want him.
  19. Rob
    @Kevin_Goldstein MLB has ruled that the Cuban LHP is NOT NOT NOT eligible. 1 minute ago
  20. Rob
    I'm cooking up an entire bag of P.F. Changs frozen General Chang's Chicken. If I'm gonna feel like [expletive] after our pick, I want it to be because I'm about to [expletive].
  21. Rob
    Yeah, I've been mentally preparing for that. The worst is thinking "Oh, thank god. Rendon is somehow still on the board... I guess we don't have to worry about picking that Cuban 'kid.'" "Oh god dammit!"
  22. Rob
    Groovy. I guess I was just confused by all the crazy talk of conference calls, live streams, and iphones... you damn kids. And I take back everything bad I said about Starling, Mahtook, Springer... even Lindor. Just please oh please don't make us draft a 23 year old Cuban with no semblance of control.
  23. Rob
    Is the draft not on TV this year? I just kinda assumed it would be.
  24. Rob
    I was wondering why I got a headache while I was out shopping... figures. Anybody know where I can get some heroin?
  25. Rob
    Callis just put up another 1st round projections... subscriber only. Anybody care to help out?
