I hope he pitches as well as he plays the flute. Seriously, we take a #13 prospect at #3. Unbelievable.

He's the #13 prospect according to whom?

Paying too much attention to BA and MLB Pipeline.

Oakland probably picks up Lewis.

Welp better go overslot at 40-44.

Pretty stupid to pass on Ray/Lewis though with the need for an OF bat.

Thats the plan. Its also pants on head retarded to draft for need

 

[KB21]

Give it two weeks, and he could have climbed to #1. Who the heck knows.

Gammon's says that the Braves had had him as the top pitching prospect in the draft since March.

I have a feeling they are going to take Puk

Probably the only team to

This is a serious, serious reach. When you draft third you should be getting a top talent, not a right handed high schooler who had a couple good starts at the end of the season but will need a ton of time and a bit of luck to develop.

Terrible value at 3. Not at all what you want to see.

 

[The Tariff King]

Nah, we gots da Maitan.

By the time Maitan gets here we'll be flipping Ozzie, Swanson, Mallex, Wisler, Folty because they'll cost too much.

 

[Julio3000]

Our positional talent comes from internationals, I guess.

I guess.

I hope.

I realize this is the ultimate crapshoot and there are guys being paid millions of dollars spending thousands of hours to get this right. I get they've forgotten more than I'll never know but I still feel like we got less than third overall potential in this pick.

This $ is equivalent to the slot values between 13 - 17, so this is a critical aspect of this pick.

 

[Hudson2]

I would have taken Pint over Anderson but we will see

 

[smootness]

Probably the only team to

And what if we're right? Have to trust the scouts.

This is the news I wanted to see, but still the plan will stink if we can't execute it. It's far from a given

 

[SidSlid92]

Draft is a crapshoot always. So saving money here could pay off. But man it's tough to pass on Lewis when he seems BPA and fills needs

 

[Perfect Cell]

lots of hate on social media for this pick.

Who cares? Take the best player available

 

[The Tariff King]

And what if we're right? Have to trust the scouts.

Hopefully Anderson can throw 1-0 shutouts consistently.

Paul Snyder had him as the best pitcher in the draft all the way back in 1993.
