2016 MLB Draft

Hopefully they draft someone cool with the first pitch instead of some lame college arm like they always do.

 

They've been scouting the heck out of college shortstops as well. Kind of surprised tbh.

 

In the case of Gavin Lux and Delvin Perez, those are guys who could stay at SS long-term and allow Seager to eventually make that transition to 3B.

EDIT: Just realized you said college SS.

 

I wouldn't really label last year as shit necessarily. Thus far it actually seems to be a pretty good draft overall in hindsight if you ask me. Yes the first and third picks are somewhat questionable thus far, but both still have good upside. They lost on Funkhouser who has been rewarded by faceplanting, but they got the pick back for a significantly better draft where they may get him in the later rounds now. Not to mention that Sborz has been better than predicted as a starter, Pfeifer is showing signs of being a solid reliever, both Davis and Abdullah has solid upside and recent struggles aside Garlick has been a nice 28th round find. They have had solid returns thus far and that doesn't even mention the big catch which appears to be 4th round pick Willie Calhoun. If he turns out to be the teams long term 2B of the future, I would label this a great draft. I do agree though, finding guys late is nice, this year they really need to hit with those first 4!

 

I want somebody on the left side of infield and/or at catcher, easily the biggest needs IMO

 

how about someone who can hit a 95 MPH heater... can we find one of them?

 

I hope to god that's the case... I have Chris Anderson nightmares already with the guys we're linked to.

 

Funny watching these analysts on MLB Network pretending to know anything about these high school players they've never even seen before.

 

There's a lot "experts" like that around.

The internets has given birth to an army of them.

 

Mayo is perfect in his mock thus far hmmm. Take a risk on Jason Groome IF he falls??

 

Mayo, Manuel and Callis know their shit. Reynolds doesn't know dick about any of them and just flies by the seat of his pants.

 

Doubt he makes it past 15. He might not sign anymore at 20 especially w our 32 and 36 pick

 

The signability is the risk but he is supposed to have the best curveball and he's left handed, remind you of someone, lol.

 

Red Sox got him at 12
