OFFICIAL 2012 DRAFT DISCUSSION THREAD

[Jaypers]

Callis compares Fried to.....Kershaw? Dayum...

 

[David Campos]

Brian Bullington says yes.

 

[MojoDan]

Can the Pirates really pass up on Cole, Taillon, and Appel?

I was thinking that myself....

 

[Brett Keith]

Good choice by Luhnow with Correa, bad choice by him with the ill-fitting jacket.

 

[packbusta]

Through the first six picks, they've already compared two players to Adam Jones. Not a knock on anybody, just something interesting I've noticed.

 

[Hallsgator]

Dahl - PIT

And Kershaw, and the Uptons, and Kevin Brown. It's for the viewers who have a hard time understanding projectability. The need an image to see what these guys MIGHT do.

 

[Jaypers]

Awwwww, what a Dahl.

 

[sheetskout]

The Pirates have a chance to have three top-fifteen pitching prospects to start 2013. Depending on how far this draft fall hurts Appel in the rankings.

 

[Hallsgator]

Appel. Good pick for Pitt. Maybe they will start turning it around now built around pitching.

 

[SydBarrett]

As far As pitching farm system, who would do rather have now, Pittsburgh or Seattle?

 

[Brett Keith]

Taillon, Cole, Appel...Heredia arriving a little later.

 

[MojoDan]

Have to like the outlook in Pitt ( at least as far as pitching goes)

Something tells me that in the near future Taillon will be dealt for a bat.

 

[Ian Stewart]

Ugh. Knew this was going to happen.

Not happy. Not happy at all.

 

[Jaypers]

Alex, you WILL like this kid Heaney. I wish he'd went to the other Florida team. I call him the best lefty in the draft.

The most interesting one, for me, so far was the pitcher who was compared to Jarrod Parker. People more involved in following baseball may understand the comparison, but I'm not sure the average fan is familiar with a rookie pitcher with 8 starts in the Majors. :lol:

 

[moxacaine]

All the comparisons are annoying me. Im done watching, ill check the results later.

Yeah, this draft is kind of blah. I'd like to know where Peter O'Brien lands, but other than that I'm not too interested. The talent just isn't as strong as the past few drafts.

Over Fried? Bold, bold statement, sir.
