    I know it would make sense to trade him for Chris Archer, but I think I'd get sick anyways.
  2. Tryptamine
    Not ranked by MLB.com. I'll take it! Yeah I like the write up quite a bit, the only thing he lacks is patience and that seems to be one of the stronger points of the Cub farm's teachings.

    Maybe I'm seeing something where there is nothing, but Theoyer is making it seem they're pretty desperate to get some quick moving arms into the system. Does this mean they're not going to be in on the FA pitchers this year and next?

    Anyone heard anything about Tristan Beck? Unlike Allen, the announcers haven't even brought up his name at any point.
  5. Tryptamine
    Underslot?
  6. Tryptamine
    I don't have any inside info, but they both went approximately where they were supposed to so I'd think slot would be reasonable on both.
  7. Tryptamine
    God damn it Houck and Romero gone.
  8. Tryptamine
    Damn you Boston.
  9. Tryptamine
    Zero interest. If his swing and miss issues are that bad in college, god help him as he advances in the minors.
  10. Tryptamine
    I have this super unrealistic dream that Peterson somehow slides to us at 27.
  11. Tryptamine
    Bukauskas and Faedo starting to fall a little.
  12. Tryptamine
    Milwuakee really continues to impress me. Hiura is a hell of a good pick.
  13. Tryptamine
    Going to be surprised if Oakland isn't in on Hiura or Bukauskas.
  14. Tryptamine
    Anyone got the stream to work yet? I keep getting the same 30 second intromercial and predraft coverage was supposed to start 20minutes ago.
  15. Tryptamine
    I feel Varsho would be like Delta House accepting Flounder because he was legacy. Yeah, I mean even his upside doesn't sound great. Jason Kendall without the ability to hit for average. The rest of the draft would have to be pretty amazing to make up for that pick.

    Rooker seems to be widely considered a second round talent so it does seem like they're sacrificing some talent picking him at 27/30. Isn't Rooker only a 2nd round talent based on age though? It's not a limitation of any of his tools or production. I'm willing to gamble on that.
  17. Tryptamine
    Other than last year, this may be the first draft where I've gone into not having any kind of solid clue who it might be. At this point we're suspecting an underslot with the number of names mentioned both as the underslot and the overslot it should make tomorrow really exciting. I'd be extremely intrigued by Rooker and Romero picks at 27/30. You could probably save money on both deals while not sacrificing on talent.

    I just can't recall a team who has under performed as badly as this one has so far. They may end up 20 games worse than last year and the roster should have been slightly better, I just don't get it. Thank god this division is just awful.
  19. Tryptamine
    He went 8th overall to the Phillies. Yeah, this is why you read things a second or third time. Oops :P.
  20. Tryptamine
    I can't believe BA's mock 4.0 doesn't even have Bukauskas going in the 1st round. If he were there for the Cubs at 27/30 and they didn't take him I would be profoundly disappointed.
  21. Tryptamine
    Acquiring Samardzija just keeps looking better and better. The results are finally starting to match the peripherals.
  22. Tryptamine
    While this FO does value make up, they went and signed Lackey who is a known ass hat. So at some point being super talented outweighs being a particularly amiable guy. It also doesn't hurt that he's basically the best or second best lefty in this mediocre draft(Gore).
  23. Tryptamine
    I just don't get it, what is McKay's appeal? He sits like 88-91 without overwhelming secondaries and on the 1B side my understanding is that he got fat on a lot of weaker competition. Taking him at #1 over Kyle Wright, I just can't fathom it.
  24. Tryptamine
    So is it even a question that Wade is getting a QO anymore? At this point I see it as a no lose. We either get a pick or we get a lights out closer on a 1/18ish type deal.
  25. Tryptamine
    Not real thrilled with the idea of Gray versus what he's likely to cost. I'd be pretty pissed of any of Baez/Eloy/Happ were shipped off in a deal for him because he just hasn't been that good, better yes, but still kind of meh.
