Dibs on Stallone. -
College seniors are out of eligibility and frequently sign for bottom dollar. Juniors and certain sophomores are draft eligible, though. Baseball is weird.
-
I'd put them at or a smidge below. Townsend and Sorrell just under, Bailey just over as a draft eligible sophomore.
-
That was unexpected. And kinda fun.
-
Borrowing an old phrase from these parts, it's just like AA!
-
His name came up as a possible underslot at 23. I'm down.
-
I made a similar joke last year. Granted, the one above was updated using my 11 year old nephew's vocabulary. So there.
-
Also, MLB's AI needs a lesson in kerning and spacing (from their Brewers pick writeup):
-
YO BROS IT'S ME LA-
-
Wiggins/Willits!
-
We like this pick.
-
Like I said, don't get too attached.
-
Nevermind.
-
Also kinda weird Justin Lebron is dropping
-
There goes Hughes...to the Astros? Zuh?
-
There hasn't been a Hayden Simpson yet, so at least there's that.
-
I get it, this is a weird draft for college hitters. Rose at least saves them a chunk of change for overslots later.
-
I get the Flora pick, but I was hoping for something off the wall from Posey.
-
Chalk for the first three picks. Now the fun begins!
-
There's Roch. Good job not screwing it up, WSox.
-
I get that Emerson has the higher ceiling, but Roch is the poster child for "Don't overthink it."
-
If I had to guess, I'd put the Rose/Gracia/Hughes grouping at about a 40% likelihood with your prediction as the next most likely. The really, really hard part about predicting this draft for the Cubs is there are a handful of teams right in front of the Cubs who tend to favor guys that fit the Cubs mold (namely the Red Sox), so it's not like you can get too attached to anyone who starts to slip into the 15-20 range.
-
Just resign yourself to the fact that anyone the Brewers take is going to piss you off five years from now in some capacity or another.
-
Also also, there's part of me that wonders if we're going to see a batshit crazy draft along the lines of 2011, when the Cubs went bananas for guys like Dunston, Gretzky, and Maples. For those who remember, that was the last draft before MLB reined in spending and overhauled the draft. It's clear MLB is going to do something with the draft in the new CBA, so I have to wonder how teams and players are going to approach this one.
