DRAFT IN PROGRESS THREAD ... What's past is preamble

[rico43]

New thread to talk about the draft as it unfolds. Runup thread is too bulky to continue.

Please let it be Lewis.

Thanks, rico. I've said I'll talk myself into anyone we take, and that continues to be true. I've now talked myself into Anderson at 3 if we take him. I still do want Lewis, though.

Final answer: Anderson-Groome-Benson.

Was that Klesko as one of our reps?

Yep

Trust the scouts. They know what they are doing.

Anderson and Benson are the only two kids actually there...would be pretty funny if we got both.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Rockies have Jeff Francis as player rep, thats just sad.

 

[Hudson2]

I thought that earlier smoot lol.

The 1st pick should never get a clock, they should just have to pick when it starts.

Welcome to the organization, Ian.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Ian it is!

 

[Hudson2]

Phils take Moniak!

 

[bravos4evr]

Moniak, no surprise there

 

[KB21]

Moniak to Philly

 

[smootness]

Taking Moniak at 1 is interesting. A kid who may get to 20 HR at 1?

 

[smootness]

I'm hoping we can get Anderson for really cheap, but we'll see. Once you're actually taken 3, it can be hard to convince someone to take something like $3 million.

 

[bravos4evr]

Interesting thing about a 123 of Moniak, Senzel and Anderson means that a lot of mid level teams are going to be ending up with guys below their draft grade as I reckon all 3 top teams have worked drop deals with top 20 guys

 

[Hudson2]

How would Cooper know that??
