June 5, 20188 yr So both Florida pitchers fell and KC gets them both? Is that a coincidence or was it gamesmanship?

June 5, 20188 yr KC lands 4 college pitchers. Should be interesting seeing them come upAnd should see them quite quickly as all four are considered advanced and should skip a level or two.
June 5, 20188 yr And should see them quite quickly as all four are considered advanced and should skip a level or two. It never works out that way.
June 5, 20188 yr It never works out that way.Maybe not, but I'm thinking the local sample might be tainting your opinion. If we were in St. Louis we'd probably think otherwise. Looking at the board for the Twins, Blaine Knight is my choice.
June 5, 20188 yr Maybe not, but I'm thinking the local sample might be tainting your opinion. If we were in St. Louis we'd probably think otherwise.Looking at the board for the Twins, Blaine Knight is my choice.Can we land Kumar Rocker?

If we were in St. Louis we'd probably think otherwise.Looking at the board for the Twins, Blaine Knight is my choice. St. Louis is an anomaly. And regardless, Kansas City is pretty low on the list of clubs that I'd expect to hit on a bunch of college arms in one draft.
June 5, 20188 yr St. Louis is an anomaly. And regardless, Kansas City is pretty low on the list of clubs that I'd expect to hit on a bunch of college arms in one draft.If they hit on half, it's a great draft.
June 5, 20188 yr If they hit on half, it's a great draft. That would count as 'a bunch.' More likely is one or none.
June 5, 20188 yr Another bat guy that will probably land at 1B or DH.... Any chance at all this guy sticks at catcher?
June 5, 20188 yr Fangraphs... Big catcher with non-zero chance to stay back there and above-average raw power
June 5, 20188 yr That would count as 'a bunch.' More likely is one or none.Isn't that true of every pick? I'm not sure what your point is.
June 5, 20188 yr Fangraphs...Big catcher with non-zero chance to stay back there and above-average raw powerSounds like a reach. Saving the money for someone later?
June 5, 20188 yr Sounds like an under slot pickTo what end? They can't save much money at this point.
June 5, 20188 yr Isn't that true of every pick? I'm not sure what your point is. You're the one that commented on my earlier post, so I can't help you there. All I said was that pitching prospects are too unpredictable to think we'll see several of them move up quickly.
June 5, 20188 yr To what end? They can't save much money at this point.Slot value is $1.1M. If we can get this guy for $500K, we might be able to land a good high school arm tomorrow. Need to call around tonight.
June 5, 20188 yr Local kid Sean Hjelle to Giants 2-2. Wow, I didn't even realize Hjelle was getting drafted. I went to school with him for a year or two back in high school. Now I have two Mahtomedi kids to pull for (Baumann with the Orioles) in the minors. Great stuff!
June 5, 20188 yr Slot value is $1.1M. If we can get this guy for $500K, we might be able to land a good high school arm tomorrow. Need to call around tonight.I will take that bet.
June 5, 20188 yr Ugh catcher, baseball's equvilant to a kicker. At least he can hit I guess.You do realize catchers have a massive impact on MLB games compared to kickers, right?
June 5, 20188 yr Rooker, now these two. They appear to have a type.It looks like they like they want to get the best bats and position isn't given heavy consideration. That's my position as well.
June 5, 20188 yr It looks like they like they want to get the best bats and position isn't given heavy consideration. That's my position as well.Gonna need pitchers too. Or be willing to trade highly valued prospects.
June 5, 20188 yr Slot value is $1.1M. If we can get this guy for $500K, we might be able to land a good high school arm tomorrow. Need to call around tonight.That was my hope when I saw the pick.
