General Draft Discussion

[colbyjack]

Use this thread to talk about the draft in more of a in-game conversation format.

Yesssssssssssssssssss! I love this time of year. Nothing like a fresh infusion of guys to follow on the Link Report.

[colbyjack]

Just a reminder, there are now threads dedicated to the discussion as it happens on the three days of the draft. Please use each thread accordingly. This thread is for the general draft discussion, to talk about the picks as they happen, and not necessarily tied to the Brewers. There are individual threads to discuss the Brewers picks, rounds 1-5, 6-20 and 21-50, as well as the official pick and signing thread which is locked, but will be updated by myself or other moderators as information is compiled.

 

Please do not start individual threads on the individual players. Those threads will be locked/deleted.

 

Thanks, and happy draft day!

I know the draft is on MLB network tonight but is there any coverage on TV of the later rounds of the draft tomorrow or Wednesday?

[Cracked Bat Collector]

Draft Seth Blair 1st round!!

I love the draft. I'm hoping for Allie, but as long as its someone that won't be there in the second round I will bite my tongue and trust in the experts. I wasn't happy with Rogers or even Braun for that matter when they were drafted and so far Bruan at least has put me in my place. Here's to hoping for the best! http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

Nope, but it's all broadcast on MLB.com for free.

Neither here nor there as it pertains to this year's draft, but it's interesting to hear that the Brewers would have drafted Wade Davis in the third round in 2004 had the Rays not taken him with the pick before; the Brewers ended up choosing Josh Wahpepah.

Both Mayo and Callis have Allie available at 14 in their latest mock, I really hope the Brewers pick Stetson Allie.

[brewmann04]

I hoping for an Impact starting Pitcher.

Chris (New Jersey): How far can Pomeranz realistically fall?

 

Kevin Goldstein: He could go 5 to Cleveland, but if that doesn't happen, he could get into the double-digit picks.

[Boisebrewer]

Pomeranz to the Brewers for Jeff Suppan. Best day ever!

[trwi7]

Keith Law is saying the Reds are likely to take Chance Ruffin 12th overall.

[DHonks]

who could be the Matt LaPorta of this year?

[TheCrew07]

It's go time!

[miggs721]

Laporta, what a joke....he just got sent down today

[TheCrew07]

This is an interesting discussion about pitch calling, I had no idea college catchers weren't calling their own pitches.

 

Harper drafted as an OF, the Nats are going to fast track him.

[homer]

Is there a reason the Nats are taking the full five minutes? Everyone and their mother knows who they're going to take.

[miggs721]

the same reason the Rams took the full time for Bradford, and the Wizards will for Wall

[bball123h]

Just the love of TV... the whole thing is staged. I'd guess the first 6-7 teams have their guy by now.

[TheCrew07]

Taillon to the Pirates, good pick for them.

[homer]

I feel really old when I see Harper was born during my sophomore year of college.

[miggs721]

Is this gonna be Machado for sure???

[TheCrew07]

bball123h what's that ribbon all about?

[bball123h]

I was too lazy to change my avatar after the last election.

 

This next pick has to be Machado.
