ramssuperbowl99 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 IT'S TIME BOYS. Will the Tigers take Mize at 1? Will the Giants take Bart at 2, or go underslot? Will the Braves take yet another Atlanta area kid? Will @Thelonebillsfan, @bkobow05, and myself freak out at whoever our team takes (probably tbh)? Will the Rays and Royals get all of the expensive HS kids (also probably tbh)?

THE DUKE Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Heard from a few different places on Twitter that the Giants have been sending a lot of people to look at Cole Winn. He could likely be had well under slot so they could over spend with their next couple of picks. Reds seem to be in on Singer, Madrigal, and India. I'd rather they go with a HS arm (Stewart or Liberatore) or maybe Kelenic if they think he can stick in CF. Bad draft to be picking 2-8, good draft to have lots of picks 15-80.

Madrigal is the most Reds pick ever. If he's there, I don't buy them going with anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't shock me, just not sure if the upside is there. Seems like a rich man's Jose Peraza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles27 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 The 1 day a year I miss Bud Selig. Loved watching him struggle and slur his way though announcing the picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramssuperbowl99 Posted June 4, 2018 Author Share Posted June 4, 2018 Per Kiley on the Fangraphs podcast, Connor Scott is going to the Marlins at 13. Pretty much locked in. Efffff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Efffff... That's a solid pick in that range. I'm a Scott fan. Promising hit tool, 70 speed, and pretty much a sure bet to stay in CF. Below average power, but enough pop to keep teams honest.

THE DUKE Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Draft buzz from Jim Callis: https://www.mlb.com/news/latest-2018-mlb-draft-news-from-callis-mayo/c-277888816 Quote On the night before the Draft, word began to circulate within the industry that for the right price, Murray would agree to focus on baseball after playing football this fall for the Sooners. If true, he could command a bonus of $3 million or more. Other teams believe that the Reds (whose first two picks are at Nos. 5 and 48) and the Padres (whose top two selections are at Nos. 7 and 38) are the leading contenders to cut a discount deal in the first round so they can splurge on Murray with their second choice. Officials with both Cincinnati and San Diego denied that's the case. Please God, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's been given the Yelich/Kyle Tucker comps throughout the process. He's one of the prep players I like the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devils1854 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Still holding out hope that the Braves will sack up and take Hankins at #8. Would be ok with Gorman there, but since everyone has slotted him at 8, I think it will be a different pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winn was a guy I heard about for the Giants as well for underslot, but I have heard that they have probably scouted Bart more often than any other team out there. I'm trying to figure out what they are doing...going underslot seems like a weird decision for the Giants to make, but given the state of the farm system, I could see it going either way - taking the best player available in the first, or trying to accumulate just a higher number of plus prospects overall.

hrubes20 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Warning everyone right now, I'm going to rage if the Cubs pick a limp-**** collegiate SP with no ceiling in the 1st this year. Talking about the Ryan Rolisons of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
