2019 MLB Draft Thread

[BeanieAntics]

If we somehow pull a miracle off at 60 we can redeem this class.

The only way I see that happening is by getting Shea and Braden underslot so we could float a guy like Allan down to 60. Or maybe a guy with signability issues like Hampton or Ealy. The ONLY logic that I see with this strategy is if we get a really good player at 60.

I take it back that Dana Brown sounded like an idiot. Trying to explain Shewmake he honestly looked and sounded like a guy who is having his worst nightmare come to life. It was like all that was going through his mind was "AA is gonna be so mad".

Watching that again makes me wonder if our draft strategy got nuked somehow and we panicked and picked Shewmake.

Yeah but with a guy like Espino sitting there....what a great fall back. Just wow.

[CyYoung31]

Here's a comp for Shewmake ... Matt Lipka.

No one has offered that comp before. Certainly not in this thread.

[Heyward]

11 picks to go, they better go overslot here after doing what they did at 21.

Again I don’t know why we were afraid to lose that 60th pick. We could have snagged CK to begin the season and maybe he in first. I just don’t understand what we are doing. This is like wren all over. Draft safety players over potential. This is a low D.

And you guys need to get over the 60th pick. It will be just as lack luster.

Also not getting the look at Soroka. Come on. We know what these college guys are. Not a great analogy

Per my pre draft pledge i am not complaining.

Not what I find sexy but whatever.

[BeanieAntics]

I really like that Rece Hinds pick by the Reds.

Also not necessarily very apt.

I said it. I said this too. Lol.. D@mn Henny kicking in...lol. Waiting on this next pick so it can be an F. That way my emotions aren't involved.

No, it's just one that comes to mind. Former infielder, moved to the OF, never hit enough to make it there. Just a some things that remind me of what Shewmake might face.

[BeanieAntics]

Anybody think we may go underslot at pick 60 so that we can give more money to Shea and Braden? I think it would give them a confidence boost and show them that we are 100% invested in them.

I know that makes no sense at all, but neither does picking them in the first place.

[striker42]

I'm beginning to wonder if we're so cash strapped as a team that we're going underslot just to save money.

[Hudson2]

Man I had high hopes for the draft but I feel like I got punched in the nits.

I think after we hear who is picked in the second round....I gots a baaaad feeling.

[BeanieAntics]

We should exclusively draft guys from IMG Academy. Go look at their Alumni for baseball. Its a treasure trove of baseball stars.

[Hudson2]

So who is everybody hoping we pick at 60?

[BeanieAntics]

Allan for me

[Deester11]

Allan for me

This. Expecting Biilymy Nutt though
