2019 MLB Draft Thread

[SidSlid92]

There goes Priester. He was my favorite prep arm, with an easy smooth delivery

 

[jpx7]

A 750 ops makes him a star. I think he can do that.

I’m skeptical of both those claims.

 

[Enscheff]

Haven’t been able to follow closely. Which arms are left?

no double negative there

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Haven’t been able to follow closely. Which arms are left?

A couple on the BA best available are Allan and Malone

 

[SJ24]

Haven’t been able to follow closely. Which arms are left?

Priester to Pirates. Rutledge to Nats. Thompson to Cards. Kirby to Mariners.

We are left with table scraps.

 

[nsacpi]

Haven’t been able to follow closely. Which arms are left?

Allen, Kirby, Malone, Espino

 

[BeanieAntics]

Haven’t been able to follow closely. Which arms are left?

Allan, Kirby, Malone, and Espino are the best arms still available. If we got Allan I guess I could live with this draft.

 

[Deester11]

Haven’t been able to follow closely. Which arms are left?

Malone..Espino still there...

 

[mqt]

Allen, Kirby, Malone, Espino

Kirby will be a Mariner.

 

[Deester11]

Priester to Pirates. Rutledge to Nats. Thompson to Cards. Kirby to Mariners.

We are left with table scraps.

Disagree if they select Malone, Espino or Allan.

 

[nsacpi]

Forgot about Thompson ...he's dropped a bit

 

[BeanieAntics]

Mariners are gonna take Kirby. Allan is gonna be available for us if we want to take him.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Forgot about Thompson ...he's dropped a bit

Cards are going to take him. Mariners will take Kirby.

Allan is there if we want him.

 

[Jay212033]

Would we take Allen at 21?

 

[Enscheff]

Allen, Kirby, Malone, Espino

Looks like an arm or one of those SS you like

 

[50PoundHead]

After looking at his numbers and considering his defensive ability, he kind of reminds me of Henry Blanco.

And here I was hoping for El Oso Blanco!

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Go underslot? And draft the best available with number 60?

From MLB.com

9) Braves: Shea Langeliers, C, Baylor
(Compensation pick for unsigned 2018 first-rounder Carter Stewart) The Braves grabbed the best defensive catcher in the entire Draft right here. Langeliers has a chance to become a Gold Glover, with polished receiving skills, a cannon arm and more athleticism than most at his position. He struggled at the plate as a sophomore but bounced back this spring, and he should be able to hit for a decent average with some power. He could be Austin Hedges with more offense.

Or he could be Austin Hedges. That comp did not excite me at all.

 

[BeanieAntics]

I also wouldn't hate taking Logan Davidson or Maurice Hampton with the pick at 21. Hampton provided that we can definitely sign him, which is far from a sure thing.
