2016 MLB Draft Official Discussion Thread

I'm glad Collins went to those Sox, I'm not a fan. No way he sticks at C and I don't think his bat is good enough to be at 1B....corner OF, but don't expect great defense wherever he plays.

Groome! Hope to god we can sign him.......

Bigtime question, as far as I'm concerned.

Bigtime question, as far as I'm concerned.

If we can work some draft strategy magic to allocate the funds to sign Groome then he's the steal of the draft. We'll see how it plays out. Worth the gamble considering the upside, but I think taking Dunn or Rutherford might have been the safer way to go.

Cleveland just got one powerful dude.

I've been venturing Braves message boards and it looks like the vast majority of fans are pissssssssed off. I guess I'm not alone. Unbelievably stupid pick.

 

[scotty216brs]

Benson is kind of a reach, right?

Groome! Hope to god we can sign him.......

If they can sign him it's the hands down steal of the entire draft.

So many good players left....deep draft this year.

Whitley to the Stros. Comp of JJ mentioned on MLB Network. Instant kiss of death.

So many power arms in this draft. Good get for Houston, explosive fastball, good offspeed pitches, and very nice delivery.

25 WAR with the Marlins is hardly the kiss of death (for the Stros' anyway..)

No clue who the Jays have their eyes on. Burdi/Trammell?

 

[Jaypers]

Rutherford to NYY. His cards shall be cheap no longer - so it is decreed.

 

[scotty216brs]

Surprised Rutherford fell that far, Yanks were probably happy about that.

I know. I was just joshin' ya ...

I don't think so, after the first 8-10 the talent drops off.

 

[aarne13]

Zoiks!

 

[death2redemptions]

I'm still in disbelief of how bad the Braves screwed the pooch with such a high draft pick. I doubt there will be any saving grace with their comp pick. Gotta save money so they can sign another overdraft.

ZEUCHS! Have a Scooby snack, T.J.
