OFFICIAL DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION THREAD

[Jaypers]

@kileymcd: Make sure you're sitting down but there's a lot of industry chatter that Jeff Loria is meddling in the draft room and will dictate the pick.


Of course. :/

Ya hear that, [MENTION=1888]JoshHamilton[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1750]Ian Stewart[/MENTION]? You've got nothing to worry about.

In other news...

Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd
The Carlos Rodon bonus demand hammer has dropped. I'm told its $6 million plus. Aiken heavy favorite to go 1-1 now.

 

[Ian Stewart]

Ya hear that, @JoshHamilton and @Ian Stewart? You've got nothing to worry about.

AKA Nick Burdi with pick #2 ?

 

[James52411]

I saw Rodon pitch a couple of times vs. FSU in Tallahassee. Certainly a talented lefty with a 92-95 mph fastball, but I wouldn't pay a premium for him.

J.P., I wish you were on the telecast so you could turn to Gammons after he makes a bad prediction and say, "Peter, you ignorant s*ut."

First surprise is Kolek to Miami.

 

[Jaypers]

Only 1 person out of the 52 who guessed predicted Schwarber to the Cubs.

 

[TwinsWin]

Glad to see the twins took Nick Gordon

[MENTION=4067]Superhuskiefan1[/MENTION] has 7 out of 9 correct! Had he not reversed Kolek and Rodon he'd be 9 for 9.

 

[AmishDave]

Love the Hoffman pick for Toronto.

Cubs draft power again, and at a position that's tough to find it.

 

[Jaypers]

[MENTION=4067]Superhuskiefan1[/MENTION] has 7 out of 9 correct! Had he not reversed Kolek and Rodon he'd be 9 for 9.

And that's it. With 7 of 10 correct, you win a Rodon Panini Champions Auto BGS 9.5/10. Will PM you shortly.

Really like Conforto to the Mets....finally #1 pick not a HS player under Alderson
