Discuss rumor, other teams picks, etc. here
Late mocks from Law and BA both say Bohm
Harold Reynolds really doesn't understand how this work. Dan O'Dowd did a lousy job explaining too. And the head mlb network guy is clueless
Travis Swaggerty living up to his name so far.
Jim Leyland looks pretty good for a guy who has smoked a bazillion packs of cigs over the years.
Anyway, Tigers take Mize.
Bart to SFG.
Phils on the clock, pick's in....and MLBN is in commercial. Thanks guys.
Singer, Liberatore, Bohm, Madrigal ..... should be interesting
Bohm it is. I assume everyone is happy with that choice?
I am fine with that choice. Part of me would have wanted to negotiate a below-slot deal with Liberatore but Bohm is fine if they are pretty sure he sticks at 3B.
Hope they sign him quickly. A good first season might have substantial impact on whether they go after Machado next offseason.
I can't believe the dumb questions (IMO) they were asking Bohm. I thought he handled them very well without really answering the question. One who do you most want to hit a HR off of now that your in the NL east. I think she named Max, DeGroom, Snydergard. He basically said it won't matter who I face.
I cannot lie, Singer or Liberatore would have made me happier. Aside from Dave Winfield, I am having a tough time thinking of a 6'6'' or so superb player.
Fine choice. And now, thanks the the marketing gurus, we wait until 1:30 - 2:00 pm or so tomorrow for our next pick.
I liked the old way...
Its late here so good night all. What time does the conference call start tomorrow Eastern Time?
Aaron Judge has done OK so far.
I'm cool with it. I thought he handled himself well in the interview, too.
By the way, the telecast itself is pretty bad. Mispronouncing the first name of a top five pick ("Alex"), awkward interviewing, too many talking heads...just not good.
Reynolds is bad and sideburns guy is worse
The draft tomorrow starts at 1 pm eastern, with the third round. As I recall, they take something like three-five minutes a pick for these rounds (it's excruciatingly slow), so it'll be a while until the fourth round comes up.
San Diego doing the "way underslot" strategy yet again
Bohm is the guy I wanted them to pick, given how the first two picks played out. Good stats in wood bat summer leagues is a plus. A big plus if he can play 3B. The power is a plus and he seems at least average to perhaps good on his hit tool.
And the rich get richer. carter stewart. what a year to have the 3rd round pick.gm
