I'm getting it just fine on my phone, im just gonna do it that way

if anyone is commuting, or at work like NO ONE IN THE WORLD THAT I KNOW INCLUDING ME WHO WOULD NEVER DO THIS AT WORK you can watch the draft on your iphone.

Multiple international directors expressed frustration that MLB would declare a Cuban defector draft-eligible on such short notice, suggesting that the player likely already has a deal in place with a team. Others added that they would be elated if another team used a high draft pick on Garcia Speck, who struggled with his control in Cuba.

And to think, I went to bed hoping we didn't take Starling.

@BenBadler Ben Badler Heard more about newly draft-eligible Cuban LHP Onelkis Garcia Speck. Posting an update at BA. Teams are NOT HAPPY about this

"As a result, the Office of the Commissioner has determined that Garcia is subject to the First-Year Player Draft. " http://jeffreydonenfeld.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/epic-rage-guy.jpg

MAYBE IT'S FUN FOR YOU, GOLDSTEIN YOU DICK

Today ... we are all JeffHs

No. Everyone was shocked. The MLB network crew didn't even know who he was.. The thread from last year is around -- I think still on the first page.. Look at it for a few laughs. Many thought Simpson was left handed, LOL. And were pissed when they found out he was right handed. I remember imagining him on his couch eating a sandwich and looking up at the TV with a perplexed look on his face when they announed the pick. "Hey dad, there's another guy named Hayden Simpson in this draft. I SAID THERE'S ANOTHER HAYDEN SIMPSON IN THE DRAFT. WEIRD HUH???"

This is like the whole "make gas 6 dollars a gallon so when it's four dollars it doesn't sound so bad" thing. HEY WE'RE TAKING A SHITTY 23 YEAR OLD CUBAN PITCHER just kidding it's Baez

WHAT THE [expletive]

Read from a guy in Baltimore saying that the Orioles are flipping from Bundy to Bradley. I kind of think that, in that case, Bundy would have a better chance of getting to 9 than Bradley would (assuming Baltimore went with Bundy.) That's a horribly phrased sentence but you get it.

We'd end up with lindor and i'd end up with heroin in my forehead

Hahaha what a pointless article. "The draft is Monday. The Cubs may be after [a player]."

I'm not going to hate on the guy for having a gimmick and sticking with it.

Just tell me who the sponsors are, and every day I'll make a post like "Yeah I just got back from Subway. Did you know it's only 400 calories? And it tastes great! You can have all the vegetables you want! SUBWAY." that should take care of it

Did he just drop all the 20-40 ranked guys into a hat and draw one out to simulate a wilken pick?

*sensationalist hacks

I could talk myself into being cool with the Starling pick, but I really hope we pounce on Bundy if he's there.

Thinking out loud, if Lindor goes 2, you would think the DBacks wouldn't be able to resist Rendon at 3, right? But it's been implied that they would go cheap on the 7th pick. So basically it kicks a more expensive guy down to us.

You can almost hear joe buck not care about this game

Quade is pretty obviously a placeholder coach until a better one comes along. It's not a bad idea, really. This is a lost year no matter what, what if there were no candidates the cubs actually wanted?

I've assumed they would take Bradley in front of us. Hopes rising again.
