OFFICIAL 2012 DRAFT DISCUSSION THREAD

[BowmanChromeAddict]

phillies have 4 of the first 95 picks and with the more level playing field, they money they have to spend is known...

i'm pretty excited for this draft.

Two picks in the Comp Round A and 2 in Round 2. Okay, not quite as ho-hum as I was thinking.

Not the top flight picks but still not terrible....

You have a PM.

As a Cubs fan who seemed to pull Almora Autos from everything that had Team USA autos when he was in them, I must say I will be pleased. I swear I pulled 4 or 5 of his autos, while no more than 2 of anybody else. In fact, I had bought two Team USA sets and pulled 3 (one was a dual) of his autos in those two sets.

I'm curious to see where James Ramsey is taken this year and by whom.

KLaw also posted his, for you ESPN Insiders.

Thanks to the 63 of you who entered guesses in my contest. A few more of you forgot to fill yours in before the deadline (surprise).

Thank you JP for the contest...I only wish I could watch the draft unfold, but my 10yr old's LL team is still in tournament play and he has a game @ 8pm tonight....

Looking where Piscotty goes, I am friends with his younger brother Austin. Nick, the middle one, is right now at Duke. The two older ones graduated from my school and Austin currently goes to my school, a year below me. Also looking at where Gausman goes, waiting for his payday so we can work out some deals haha.

The pre-show is streaming live. The 5 kids look great in suits (Correa, Hawkins, Heaney, Coulter and Cecchini).

Topps has purchased commercials advertising Bowman baseball as well.

The Brewers would most likely target Piscotty.

Watching the coverage on Buxton I have to say I change my mind. The Astros should take him #1. Especially after seeing the influence and encouragement his father has offered. The kid understands this game.

Cardinals have 4 picks in the first 59. Is this enough to bolster the system so they can trade current prospects near the trade deadline for a SP?

 

[Jaypers]

Here we go. Loving the uncertainty. :mrgreen:

 

[NECpilgrims8]

Is there an online stream of the draft? We apparently don't get MLB Network at the facility.

 

[Hallsgator]

MLB.com has the stream.

I think it's cool how a lot of the team reps had copies of Baseball America's magazine lying on their tables.

Baseball America sends copies of their magazine to a lot of the organizations. I know my team gets about 50 complimentary copies each week in the summer.
