Harold Reynolds is the worst

We should have a shot at Vientos. I'd be really surprised if he went before 30-35.

Hindsights 2020 but man I'd like to have mallex now over gohara with Wright here.

Why?!

A's went Beck. Good pick for them, he was easily the best option after the top 5 if you believed in that top tier, IMO.

I sure hope so. A Wright/Vientos duo would be a perfect start to the draft.

I just don't like Vientos all that much. His stock is nowhere near what it was a year ago.

Wright is what we hope Anderson will be 2 years from now. Solid #3 with potential for a little more.

Keith Law says he's a #2 with potential for more.

Interesting that Frenchy and KJ are representing the Braves.

What are the odds of Coppy trading them as a package to the Mets tonight?

I don't second that at all. Like, not even remotely.

I'd rather have Mallex, but it has nothing to do with Wright.

Such a great night so far. Hopefully we could use the childhood favorite angle to get him signed for cheaper than expected and can spend big at 41.

Any good catcher with potencial around 3 or 4 round?

I'm aware of that, but he's very young for his class and seems like a kid that could turn it around and live up to the early hype.

Our farm system is seriously incredible. I get the risk-reward, but we have the opportunity for an incredible rotation for years to come.

I doubt we'll get him for much, if any, under slot.

He has a 30 grade on his speed, which won't get better. And his fielding, even at 3B, is apparently just ok. I just don't see the upside. Pipeline HS him #67.

Any chance we have enough money to get Mark Vientos? Yes i know we need to wait first to see if he is there.

It's pretty easy to get the money if we need it, just have to draft a few college seniors in the 4-10 round range and pay them 10-25 K. I don't know why everyone acts like it's so hard to come up with money to pay overslot for the second pick. We could get over a mil by doing that with our 4th, 5th, and 6th picks, and I doubt it would take more than a mil overslot to sign anyone available at our second pick.
