June 13, 20179 yr Things are starting to come together a bit more, right? Would we be less confused if it went 1 - Lewis, 2 - Enlow, 3 - Rooker, 4 - Leach? At the end of the day the order doesn't matter if they all sign, but there's some real talent in there. The issue at hand is that you cannot go in that order... That's why they had to do it that way. more talent overall that way. If they are pretty confident that each can be average to above ML players, this will be a good draft... We will see how it plays out though.
June 13, 20179 yr I'm ready for a college pitcher now. Peter Soloman or Jake Thompson. Maybe Bryce Montes De Oca if we can handle hearing about Alex Meyers comps.
June 13, 20179 yr Sickels writeup on Enlow:http://www.minorleagueball.com/2017/5/22/15660214/2017-mlb-draft-blayne-enlow-rhp-st-amant-louisiana I don't have the interest or ability to try and guess how this is all going to turn out for young Mr. Enlow, but throwing that curveball to high school hitters seems absolutely meanspirited. Good for him.
June 13, 20179 yr I'm ready for a college pitcher now. Peter Soloman or Jake Thompson. Maybe Bryce Montes De Oca if we can handle hearing about Alex Meyers comps.I want Mike Baumann. I saw him throw privately last week and was really impressed.
June 13, 20179 yr [Enlow] went 5-3 for St. Amant this season with 101 strikeouts and 1.00 ERA in 69.2 innings. He helped lead the USA 18U National team to a gold medal when he threw 13 innings and allowed five hits, one unearned run and had nine strikeouts.Enlow's velocity dropped a tick earlier in the spring but climbed back up when some teams were scouting him heavier in April and May.http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2017/06/lsu_signee_blayne_enlow_drafte.html Edited June 13, 20179 yr by Willihammer
June 13, 20179 yr Looks like he's down to sign Ah, but look -- he's not proud to be a part of the Twins organization, he's proud to be 'apart' from it. It was all a ruse. Falvine fails us again!
June 13, 20179 yr Know we want HS P's with potential, but any fireball college relievers that anyone knows of? Given some of the guys in the past couple years have flamed out or gotten injured (Cederoth, Burdi, etc)
June 13, 20179 yr Seems like a good pick. With all night to shop around, you would hope they got a good price too.
June 13, 20179 yr Seattle just took their first college senior. Looks like they are serious about making a big overslot offer for Carlson.
June 13, 20179 yr I want Mike Baumann. I saw him throw privately last week and was really impressed.He had a good scouting report on MLB.com but it looks like he went to Baltimore
June 13, 20179 yr Seattle just took their first college senior. Looks like they are serious about making a big overslot offer for Carlson. Definitely. Expect 2-3 more.
June 13, 20179 yr He had a good scouting report on MLB.com but it looks like he went to BaltimoreYep.
June 13, 20179 yr Wonder if they have enough $ to add Tanner Burns (38 on BA board) or Tristan Beck (41) with next pick.
June 13, 20179 yr Ah, but look -- he's not proud to be a part of the Twins organization, he's proud to be 'apart' from it. It was all a ruse. Falvine fails us again! Yes, I didn't even put the pitchfork away!
June 13, 20179 yr Wonder if they have enough $ to add Tanner Burns (38 on BA board) or Tristan Beck (41) with next pick. is Beck a college Senior?
June 13, 20179 yr I love this pick. Seems to have the high end projectibility with some growth. Adding a few ticks on the fastball and refining a changeup. Curveball is there already. Watched a few videos and it looks nasty. Fastball looks to have some good movement especially if he can add some velocity to it. With this pick I'm understanding the strategy a bit. I like this pick and I think a few things happened yesterday that turned the course towards Lewis, Rooker and Leach. I wish there would have been another pitcher in that first group of 3 but I'm good with all the picks so far.
June 13, 20179 yr is Beck a college Senior?Sophomore. And his brother is going to play at Stanford next spring. Edited June 13, 20179 yr by Hrbowski
June 13, 20179 yr Is there a good online tracker (not MLB.com, apparently) that updates pretty close to live speed? The MLB site yesterday seemed like it was several picks behind at all times.
June 13, 20179 yr I'm a little late to the game but this was who I was hoping for and made a ton of sense here, they must have had info that Leach would be gone and nabbed him. It's reported that we saved money with Lewis and Rooker should also go well below slot as a senior.I watched a bunch of video of Enlow and Carlson today and I think I like Enlow better, Carlson's mechanics are too much for me, I don't know how he stays healthy pitching that way. Hooray, peace is restored!
June 13, 20179 yr Is there a good online tracker (not MLB.com, apparently) that updates pretty close to live speed? The MLB site yesterday seemed like it was several picks behind at all times. Seems up to date to me: https://www.mlb.com/draft/tracker/round-3
June 13, 20179 yr Seems up to date to me: https://www.mlb.com/draft/tracker/round-3 That looks a lot better, thanks. I think the page I was on yesterday was the "live analysis" page which was updating way behind the TV coverage.
