So um, what if Singer is there at 24?
-
I am a big Grayson fan, but #11 ahead of Libertore? Not sure I can justify that.
-
Liberatore has to be the pick, IMO. I agree, but I'm really hoping not because I want to draft him in my dynasty and I can't do that if he goes to that pitching wasteland.
-
The Orioles have to be salivating, Liberatore/Winn/SInger all there for them at #11.
-
Very surprised Weathers is the 2nd pitcher off the board.
-
I don't think the Mets have learned their lesson yet so I see them taking Liberatore. Time to run out and buy some arm insurance.
-
MLB.COM spoiling their own "live" stream. The ticker above it had the #2 pick listed 30-60 seconds before it came up on the stream.

2018 Draft Thread
Tryptamine replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Not going to lie I was really hoping that one of Kumar Rocker or Grayson Rodriguez was going to slip and be the guy, but there's just about no smoke. -
I'm conflicted, I'm happy the Cubs are probably going to pull this one out, but now I have to hear horsefeathers about how "Maddon was right" with it being said without sarcasm.
-
There's just absolutely no way to defend how stupid this move was.
-
I was thinking about that and Flaherty's most recent start today. They're still going to struggle to score runs with any consistency, but the Cardinals are going to have a monster rotation in 2019 and going forward.
-
Outside of Vlad, Soto is your best bat in the minors ahead of both Bichette and Eloy in my opinion.
-
Montgomery+Happ is about the absolute max I could stomach and to do that I'd need to feel pretty damn confident I could re-sign Manny.
-
I regret nothing. I’d trade Jorge Soler 2.0 for Jon Lester 2.0 (at a discounted, controlled rate) every time I agree, I did not and do not regret the Quintana deal at all. The point was the White Sox made an absolutely horrific deal and they got James Shields who was getting paid 20M a year on top of it.
-
The next time the random Sox fan is pointing out that the Cubs gave up Eloy for Quintana, as if it was a bad deal, you can now point to the fact that the White Sox gave up Fernando Tatis Jr for a broken James Shields. Tatis is now a top 5-10 prospect on just about every list and getting comps to Machado/Tulo as far as future impact goes.
-
but i'm giving him the attention he wants, so really the joke's on me Yes, after trying to blame Dino Laurenzi (the tester) for a few months then finally doing the right thing ... bleep braun ... straight punk Let's not forget he went as far as to accuse Dino of being antisemitic.
-
Following acquisitions of Verlander and Gerrit Cole, the Astros are looking pretty full in their rotation these days; specially with elite prospect Forest Whitley sitting in AA and not far off from the rotation. With that said, what does it take to land Francis Martes? He's a year off of being a top 30 prospect in the game with 2 plus pitches and a third above average. It looks like he's going to the pen again this year in lieu of putting him in the rotation. It's pretty clear he's never going to get a shot in Houston so I'd love to give him his shot in Chicago.
-
Can't say I'm real happy with how this is playing out because for me giving Darvish that 5th year over going a 4th year with Cobb is a no brainer.
-
RHP Mike Feliz also heading to Pittsburgh. Moran is the Astros #5 prospect CF Jason Martin their #15 prospect is supposed fourth piece People are going to disagree, but I think it was a nice return for Pittsburgh. They didn't get star power but they got 3 guys who will provide long term cheap value and are ready to play immediately.
-
Michael Feliz also involved
-
Unless the Cubs are able to snag Darvish, it's going to be real disappointing they couldn't get Reed at that price and duration.
-
It really is. The only benefit is now that we only have like 5 weeks until pitchers and catchers there's almost going to have to be a constant flurry of moves starting soon.
-
I just can't get myself to want Jake back unless his contract is way below the supposed market value. I mean like 3/60, because even at 4/90 or something along those lines I just have zero interest. I hope the Cubs feel the same, because if that 4/112 rumor is true I'm going to vomit.
-
I like KC's return. I think Trevor Oaks is going to be a nice mid/back end starter.
-
Sadly, short of someone eating a significant portion of Heyward's contract it's probably not possible.
