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

[cajunrevenge]

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

" He has good range and instincts in center field and plenty of arm for the position. XXXX's bat is not a sure thing, but he has a chance to be a solid-average hitter with average or better power. Like Rowand, XXXX is a grinder who always plays the game hard."

Guess whose BA draft scouting report that came from. Nothing is for certain with these prospects.

ya know, with so many of these twitter things coming true.... idk man, I think it was more fun when I had no idea who was coming.

I know. I turned off Twitter

Stomach is gonna hurt if it's not Lewis.

Ian Anderson.

 

[DaneHill]

So we dislike Moniak already now that he is a Phillie, right?

Yes. Until we trade Teheran for him in the off-season.

I would have never guessed that all 3 of Groome, Lewis, and Puk would be at #3. And we will possibly pass on all 3. Very stupid imo. Like C2C said earlier, trading in a 10 for 2 5's makes no sense.

Trout?

I get it, but that's also the reason he fell to the 20s. Just saying that it's weird to take a guy like that at 1.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I like Anderson, but another pitcher it is.

 

[USMA76]

Prepare to be disappointed.

I'm prepared to be let down while hoping the Anderson talk is a smokescreen. So much for Coppy's line that "we're not drafting for need but for championship potential."

I'm fine with it. Puk is not a guy I want. And I do really like both Groome and Lewis, but part of the reason we think these guys are great is because they've been at the top of the board for so long.

Get Anderson, then do something big at 40/44.

 

[The Tariff King]

I don't care who we take at 40. If it's not Lewis I'm about to turn off the tv.

What about Anderson makes you think we're drafting for need?

 

[UNCBlue012]

I wonder if we can go 162-0 with 162 1-0 wins?

 

[Hudson2]

If Coppy and the scouts screw this high of a pick up based on strategy then we should all be allowed to give each one a dick punch.

 

[The Tariff King]

****.

****.

****.

****.

 

[Hudson2]

It is Anderson wow

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Welcome aboard Ian Anderson.

 

[rico43]

DISAPPOINTED!!!

 

[Enscheff]

Very disappointing.

 

[bravos4evr]

welp..... little disappointed, but I hope the scouts guessed right and he turns out to be as good as they hope!
