We back.. MLB Thread

[Rell Lauren]

That most definitely was not the case last year. They simply didn't like the medicals. They were so sure of signing him that they didn't even protect themselves in the later rounds.

Good for Kumar Rocker. This was a case of the Mets being cheap last year and it may blow up in their faces.

Glad he gets to pitch with his college teammate Jack Leiter. Hope this doesn't blow up in the Mets face 6 or 7 years from now

That's not them being cheap. That's them thinking he wasn't worth that value and they'd rather have the pick this year instead.

 

[Rob's al Ghul]

Semi-stoked the O's landed Holliday. He's got the pedigree and his swing reminds me of Ohtani's a little, FWeIW (not much).

And Elijah Green to the Nationals!

I'm not going back and forth. Good day.

At least Soto will be in Queens by the time he makes the majors

MLB draft is so much better than the other sports. Smooth as hell

Hope all you Lincecum nut-huggers have that same energy for Corey Kluber, Dallas Keuchel, Cliff Lee, Johan Santana, Roy Oswalt, etc.

Kluber might have a better shot than Timmy
Keuchel meh
Lee was a beast. Had to knock out a Philly fan wearing a Lee jersey in CBP one time. Philly animals need to be cut off sooner.
Santana would be 1st ballot if his arm didn't fall off. He's a Hall of Famer in my book.
Oswalt Hall of Fame

Santana is the only one you named who you might have an argument for. Lincecum was better than everyone else you named

My point was all those guys had longer primes or seasons of dominance than Timmy. Keuchel stretching it but he has about the same (four).

Interesting pick given the Alvarez situation but BPA is all that matters.

 

[Spidey Man]

Looks like a good pick. That was a big time jump in power.

I would never take a catcher this high. They almost never pan out and are rarely an integral part of a contending team. The offensive limitations aren't worth it early in the draft.
