2016 MLB Draft Official Discussion Thread

Smart of the Mets to grab two great arms, which they badly needed.

Thank goodness I'm not a Mets fan. The Mets don't need anymore damn pitching. I was surprised they didn't go after a third baseman. Wright isn't getting any younger.

Disagree, they practically gave away just about all of their best prospect arms (save Matz), not the least of which was Fulmer. They needed to replenish.

It’s a crazy feeling hearing name called, especially by Red Sox,” Groome said. “My family had no idea it was coming when it did. It’s just a dream come true.”

“I’m going to get together with my adviser and that’s what we’re going to discuss,” Groome said. “Money doesn’t matter to me. I’m just excited for the next chapter in my life and I can’t wait to get started. I have a chance to play for my favorite team. I can’t ask for anything more than that."

FIST PUMP!!

I was also under the impression that you were being sarcastic just by going off their major league rotation. At the moment their rotation is full now that Harvey looks to be rebounding and when Bartolo leaves they'll have Wheeler coming back...but anything can happen so I suppose it would be nice to have some top pitching prospects in the waiting.

Was referring to the current state of their farm system, not the big club.

Taylor Trammell is my new favorite player LOL

NOW we're talkin'. My 2011 USA Chrome stash of Jordan Sheffield is pleased with him coming to the Dodgers. :mrgreen:

 

[death2redemptions]

I can't believe Sheffield lasted this long.

Interested in who goes 39th & 40th...

Colorado stigma? What Colorado stigma? Two picks, two arms.

Joey Wentz to Atlanta. Great selection, D2R. You'll like this kid.

Although their obsession with arms is insane.

 

[death2redemptions]

Another frigging pitcher...

 

[scotty216brs]

Nick Lodolo comp is Henry Owens? Yikes, waste of a pick there, Ptt.

Still waiting for one of them in the last decade to become something more than a replacement level player.

I thought Wentz may have been a massive overdraft because I couldn't even find him on the mlb top 200 prospect list but then I realized it was because he was in the top 20...might not be such a bad pick.

Still...another high school pitcher...and a LHP. Very typical of the Braves. Our offense is never going to improve if we don't ever go after some position players early in the draft. We can't expect Swanson & Albies to carry this offense in 2017-2018.

 

[death2redemptions]

I still worry about the past problems with his dead arm.

 

[Jaypers]

Aaaaaaand, another pitcher to Atlanta.

Hearing Muller will be very difficult to sign, though.

 

[death2redemptions]

And yet again...another pitcher...

Not only that, but another LHP high school pitcher

Oakland is raiding Florida. Shore nuff.
