OFFICIAL DRAFT DAY DISCUSSION THREAD

[Jaypers]

It's that time of year again. :mrgreen:

Anything draft related, post it here.

Remember, it begins at 7pm EST on both the MLBN and on MLB.com.

Which player(s) are you most looking forward to seeing where they go in the draft?

My main guy is local kid Tyler Jay. Hoping for a good performance from him this afternoon, although he's got to face Vandy.

Here's BA's latest Mock, for those interested.

Bregman!

I was really excited about Hooper but I guess he's going to college

Baseball America kinda annoys me. Constantly down on the Giants' farm system but they have so many farm guys in their starting line up. Keith Law claimed they had no one n the minors last year before the brought up Panik who was key to the world series

I'm excited to see where Tyler Jay goes too, as I'm happy to see a U. of I. player go high - a rarity. Hoping the Sox at 8 or Cubs at 9 could get him.

Will also be interesting to see to who and when the big 3 shortstops (Swanson, Rodgers, Bregman) fall, and what effect Houston having 2 of the top 5 spots will have.

Wondering if the Astros strike a discount deal for Trenton Clark with the #5 pick.

I knew Mike Matheny had one son in the draft, but I didn't know he had TWO!

I say the Yankees go after Chris Breen, Garret Whitley, or Mikie Nikorak with the first pick (16th overall). I'm not so sure who they should go after for the 30th. Many people have said Allard, but I am severely concerned about the back issues. They could try and pull a Nationals (Giolito) and attempt to sign injured pitchers Matuella or Aiken, but I sure as hell wouldn't. It's going to be a fun day! I'll be breaking out the German wheat beer and popcorn for this one as I always do

Personally hoping for Swanson or Jay, with Fulmer a close third. Not particularly interested in Stephenson, so naturally that'll be who they take.

 

[AmishDave]

Interested to see who the Twinkies select.

 

[Jaypers]

Not very happy to see Swanson take Jay yard, but also not surprised by it.

He's headed to AZ.

I'd love to see the Jays take Josh Naylor - 3rd rd?

Pretty sure he'll go higher than that.

Was hoping my Illini guy would stay within the state, but no such luck.

Pretty sure he'll go higher than that.

Wut?

Benintendi to Boston. Good pick?

Great pick imo.

I'm not a Phillies fan, but that Randolph pick would be tough to swallow if I were. Buehler from Vandy should have been their pick.
