#Brewers get tremendous value in Corbin Burnes. 92-96, improving breaking ball and can evolve as starter. Great pick

I was pretty excited about this pick as well. The value is really impressive this year again. This is back-to-back years that Milwaukee has done more than they should have with their picks.

Who are the top names left for day 3, JP?

Day 3 begins now. You can follow it here: http://m.mlb.com/draft/tracker#!ft=round&fv=12

Top guy Jared Horn goes off the board in the 20th to the Brewers.

Don't expect him to sign.

Happy with the Quintana pick in the 11th, seems like a solid bat.

Trey Griffey goes to Seattle rd 24

Some cool events:

Torii Hunter gets on the line to announce the Angels drafted his son Torii Jr.

And Seattle drafted Trey Griffey.

Very fitting.

What's the scouting report on him?

Don't believe there is one - he's a WR for the U of Arizona. Doesn't play baseball, yet was drafted as a CF.

That was quick.

@jimcallisMLB
Cavan Biggio's bonus w/@BlueJays will be full slot at No. 162 ($328,100). Notre Dame 2B, OBP specialist. @MLBDraft

Jeff Belge to the Red Sox in the 32nd.

Loving the late round tough sign picks (Belge, Shepherd, Fitzgerald, Jones) as a fallback option if for some reason we don't get Groome signed.

Handsome Monica off the list at #979

Best. Pic. Ever.

Jim Callis, hard at work while the draft is in the 35th round.

And there goes Drew Mendoza, to the Tigers. (36th)
