OFFICIAL 2012 DRAFT DISCUSSION THREAD

[Jaypers]

Just FYI, I will check and see who won my contest after tonight's 1st & sandwich picks have been made.

Over Fried? Bold, bold statement, sir.

I stand by it.

High schooler vs pitcher who dominated the Cape League and had 146 K's last summer. 46 K's in 45.1 innings. He pitched amazing in big games as well.

60% for me. I think this is the best I've ever done on your draft contests.

 

[Jaypers]

Well, the winner gets my Dahl USA SP Auto regardless. Maybe it'll go to a Rockies fan?

 

[Hallsgator]

Dahl seems very...bleh.

Proud of the two i got right, lol...

Wonder if anyone skunked it completely.

Huge jump by Russell.

That's not a biased outlook or anything.

I am biased, but he also backed up what I thought with his season. I also got to sit directly behind the plate for his 8 starts last summer and got to sit in the bullpen to watch him from up close plenty of times. Considering some of the people I have seen it's not like I'm just saying he was head and shoulders above everyone with no basis.

Here is the box score from him vs Zimmer last summer.

I sat in the bullpen that entire game. He was great that game other than having to pitch around Roache.

 

[Jaypers]

Russell is a Boras guy. Hope Oakland can git-r-done with him.

 

[Hallsgator]

Mike Minor was really good in summer ball too.

 

[GAbballplayer148]

Victor Roache to the Braves...please?

 

[LazerShow15]

GA to MLPS I wouldn't be too excited either

Hes got 3 years in the south in the Minors more than likely

 

[beefycheddar]

Team USA competition is nothing compared to Cape Cod.

 

[Ian Stewart]

Russell said his favorite pre-game food was pizza.

Probably not a good thing.

If you like surprises, don't read this post.



Confirmed: #Cubs will take Almora at 6, #Padres take Fried at 7. Think #Pirates & Dahl at 8 are set. Appel to #Athletics at 11? #mlbdraft

Wow you were wrong, I was taking what you said as the Bible.

New Draft rules are stupid.


Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst
Pirates have $6.6M to spend on first 10 rounds. If they have to exceed it to sign Appel, they can. But if they top $6.9M they'll lose picks.

 

[Hallsgator]

I'll pass that along to Jim Callis. I'm sure he is devastated to hear of your opinion.

Courtney Hawkins with a backflip. Think he's excited?
