MLB Draft Thread

Bauer an excellent pick. He is the guy they wanted and certainly signable.

 

[AsUdUdE]

Rendon/Starling will go #5-6 in either order here....

hopefully not..

 

[az jam]

Well there goes Starling and probably Rendon next. So who do we take????

 

[AsUdUdE]

Washington LOVES selecting the big name...

The only way they don't go with Rendon is if something is REALLY wrong with his shoulder in which case I think the Dbacks might pass as well... who knows..

 

[AsUdUdE]

official guess: Fransico Lindon... (even if Rendon is still there)

outside chance Archie Bradley, but he is incredibly risky...

 

[Matt L]

Do Nats take Rendon? I mean they have Zimmerman playing 3B right now...

With Zimmerman I will be surprised if they take Rendon.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Damn it

 

[sundevilscott]

Dammit Rendon went 6th.

 

[az jam]

Rendon as expected. Now we are on the clock.

 

[AsUdUdE]

freakin knew it... going into the draft this was the worst case scernio for the Dbacks...

My guess it Lindon, safe and easy to sign...

Man I hope this is not Swihart...

 

[Chris_Sanders]

After this last series, I really despise the Nationals.

 

[Matt L]

who's left to draft?

 

[Gaddabout]

Wow. Major risk. Archie Bradley? I guess it was the BPA approach. I hope they have some money to throw at him.

 

[az jam]

Bradley, good pick but need to sign him!!!

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Wow that is a big kid

 

[MigratingOsprey]

Archie Bradley it is

Good set of picks

 

[AsUdUdE]

wooooowwwwwww

RISKY PICK for the Dbacks...

Good player... but crazy risky

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Averaged 2Ks per inning.

 

[hafey]

Aggressive pick. Highest upside/rated guy left. Love it.

 

[Gaddabout]

Averaged 2Ks per inning.

He's 6-4/225 with a 94MPH two-seam fastball that will saw bats off. He has the legs to be a starter, but he could advance quickly as a closer if he can throw strikes and get ground outs instead of long fly balls.

 

[AsUdUdE]

I could look like an idiot in a few years for saying this..

But I am relieved they didn't settle for Lindor or Swihart..

I don't think they would have taken this big of a risk if they weren't absolutely sure they could sign him...

If you have ESPN Insider the article on Bauer is amazing to read.

[HooverDam]

Wow weird pick going w/ Bradley. Lets hope the Snakes know what they're doing, if they fail to sign him its going to be embarrassing.

 

[az jam]

His first love is baseball so if they give him the right offer he will sign.
