June 7, 201313 yr Shipley/McGuire falling like rocks.McGuire's underslot signability gave him some inflated helium, but I'm surprised by Shipley falling. I know some people saw him in the top 5.
June 7, 201313 yr McGuire is falling, I wonder if that will push a Ciuffo or Denney to 43... Ciuffo's gone.
June 7, 201313 yr Turns out picks 5-42 is eternity. I wonder if it will come before or after the all-star game #mlbdraftcoveragesuxballs
June 7, 201313 yr Turns out picks 5-42 is eternity. I wonder if it will come before or after the all-star game #mlbdraftcoveragesuxballs Stanek falling that far is pretty crazy, too bad he didn't fall another 10 picks, would have been an awesome surprise 2nd rounder.
June 7, 201313 yr The idea of the Yankee's getting compensatory picks kind of sickens me. I'll cheer you up with two(ish) words: A-Rod's Contract...boom.
June 7, 201313 yr The idea of the Yankee's getting compensatory picks kind of sickens me. you are mixing up compensatory picks and competitive balance picks. The Yankees get a pick because they lost Soriano and took the risk of offering a 13Mish one year tender to him. In previous years they would have gotten two picks in this situation.
June 7, 201313 yr Sup dudes!? Made it home before #43. See Hunter Green, Austin Wilson, Ryan Boldt still on the board. Anyone else of interest? Yes, Manaea, but doubt we could sign.

June 7, 201313 yr Presumably taking Manaea at 34 is the only way the Royals can justify reaching for Dozier at 8
June 7, 201313 yr Ian Clarkins video was the funniest thing I've ever seen in any draft. I hate the Yankees too buddy. Enjoy playing for them!
June 7, 201313 yr Baseball America @BaseballAmerica 3mWith No. 34 pick, @Royals select Indiana State LHP Sean Manaea: baseballamerica.com #mlbdraft
June 7, 201313 yr Hunter Green, Boldt, and Reed all still on the board who have been linked to the Twins. Two of my personal favorites Serrano/Denney are on their too.
June 7, 201313 yr Who's on the Twins radar right now? Cmb I know you are one of the go to guys on this
June 7, 201313 yr I second the "draft coverage sucks" thought. It sucks because they have Harold Reynolds and these guys who don't know anything about the players. Hart is ok but they should put Guys like Law and Mayo who rank players all year long not guys who just read off numbers. What everyone likes about the nfl draft is Kiper, MLB should put 3-4 Kipers out there and have actual debate instead of saying how awesome each player is.
June 7, 201313 yr Boldt/Hunter Green/Reed were the three guys they were heavily linked to before the draft. With out knowing Stewart's demands it is hard to predict. Alot of people were saying they most likely will go pitcher/pitcher or pitcher/catcher in the first 2 rounds. I'm hoping they go Stewart/Denney...I would be one happy twins fan!
June 7, 201313 yr Just think if the Twins would of lost 2 more pointless games last year they would have Gray right now...
June 7, 201313 yr Ryan Eades. BAs #37 prospect Mlb.com scounting report 6'03" 200lbs DOB: 12/15/91 | Eades is everything you want from a pitcher: size, stuff and feel for pitching. A Cape Cod League All-Star back in 2011, Eades pitched in LSU's rotation last year and helped anchor it as the Saturday starter in 2013. He'll hit 94 mph with his fastball, and he has a good curve and changeup to go along with it to give him a good three-pitch mix that he knows how to use effectively. There is some question about his arm action, but the real concern might be about his medical record. Eades had labrum surgery as a senior in high school and any team interested in him in June will have to be convinced of his durability. The Cape Cod Pitcher of the Year in 2011 didn't go back there in 2012, resting up to try and improve on his sophomore season that saw him go 5-3 with a 3.83 ERA in 17 starts for LSU.
June 7, 201313 yr From Espn's draft chat http://a.espncdn.com/wireless/frontend/images/scribble/e.pngChris Crawford Not bad value for Eades, if he pitches like he did up until SEC plays, he's a steal. 10:58 PM[h=1]http://a.espncdn.com/wireless/frontend/images/scribble/e.pngChris Crawford[/h]These last two picks, Williams and Eades, were guys that coulda gone in the top 15 if the draft were held in February. The draft is not held in February. Edited June 7, 201313 yr by PseudoSABR
