Very little chance. He's been discussed as a possibility for some teams at the end of the first round.

Arizona Diamondbacks take Barret Loux. Okay then.

This is the best way Peter Gammons can get back to TV, in my opinion. Surround him with a bunch of morons who have no clue what they are talking about and he'll look like a genius! What the hell is that thing on Pomeranz's head? Is he a Justin Bieber fan?

Pomeranz to the Indians. Good pick.

I'm glad the Royals got him off the board. From the reports I've read and what limited I've seen of him, he doesn't project to be much more than an above average defensive 2B with a decent bat. Great intangibles and a fantastic teammate, but he's not exactly someone I'd want in the first round.

KC Royals take Christian Colon, SS, Cal-State Fullerton.

Orioles take Manny Machado, as expected.

After the Orioles pick, things will get crazy. Apparently the Royals are looking at Christian Colon.

From BA:

Washington Nationals select OF Bryce Harper with the first overall pick.

Bud Selig apparently has never received applause before.

Oh God, Harold Reynolds is back.

The only pick at #16 I would heavily disfavor would either be OF Gary Brown (fantastic defensive CF, but doesn't walk and uses a contact-heavy approach) or someone who would be an obviously egregious reach. Otherwise, no one would really tick me off.

Thanks.

I'll be shocked if Allie goes to the Cubs. Don't get me wrong, I think he could be a fantastic pitcher, but, with HS pitchers since Wilken took over, the Cubs typically go for guys who are more on the polished side.

Callis' latest mock has Deck McGuire slipping to the Cubs. Not sure how I feel about that one.

FREE LIVE DRAFT FEED: Link We'll use this thread to discuss the actual draft. Another thread will be used for discussing the Cubs' picks. We'll update this post with new links and other information as it becomes available. Basic Info Day 1 of the MLB Draft begins at 6:00 PM CST. The first day will cover the first round and supplemental first round of the MLB Draft. Day 2 will cover rounds 2-30 and Day 3 will cover rounds 31-50, although not every team goes the full 50 rounds. The Cubs have the following picks: 1.16 2.15 (#65 overall) 3.15 (#97 overall) 4.15 (#130 overall), and then the 15th selection in every round thereafter As things stand right now...well, like every other year, this year is a total mess. The Nationals are essentially a lock to take C Bryce Harper with the first pick, but after that, everything is up in the air. The Pirates, who own the second overall pick, were supposedly debating between SS Manny Machado and RHP Jameson Taillon, might end up taking an unnamed college pitcher instead. While Harper, Machado, and Taillon are the clear-cut top three players in this year's draft, the talent pool following them is incredibly murky.

I think they said the second one would go 7. Well, looks like it went 9 in any case, as West Michigan broke the tie in the bottom of the ninth. :-))

Huh, looks like the continuation of the suspended game out in West Michigan is going the full 9 innings. I wonder if the second game will follow suit?

If they take him we will probably wind up with Wimmers :( I'm slowly coming around on Wimmers. I wouldn't be thrilled if the Cubs took him, but he wouldn't be a bad pick.

Word is the Mets are honing in on Justin O'Connor. BA updated their Top 10 picks to reflect this. Piliere also updates his Top 15.

*Shrug* We're only a third of the way through the minor league season. He's hit into a lot of bad luck so far in the season, plus he's getting a reputation for being a really streaky hitter. If he's still sucking wind at the end of the season, I'll be concerned. For now, I wouldn't worry too much.
