2025 MLB Draft Day 1 Thread

[Joseph Zarr]

Fangraphs Mock aligns with BA. Both have us taking Bodine. 

[Jake McKibbin]

Option one on Spencers favourites is going to the Reds, who are about to select Steele Hall per Joe Doyle

Considering we never pick anyone mocked to us, this means that we're definitely not gonna pick Bodine 😆

[Joseph Zarr]

We have to love the way this first round is falling early. At least, ostensibly, talent is definitely falling.

The Fangraphs writeup had a "well, I don't know what the Brewers are going to do so here is a guy who should go in this range" feel to me.

Joe Doyle is out of hand man. He's spoiling these picks way too early. Please don't spoil picks in this thread.

Yeah it doesn't seem like anybody knows what we are going to do based on the mocks and frankly with how off the mocks have been through 8 picks, they might just have no clue with this draft.

Which is awesome imho. I love crazy drafts. This is very much a crazy draft.

[James Zumstein]

Ten picks, two RHP, two LHP, and six SS.  I guess we know where the strengths of this draft were.

[CheeseheadInQC]

So that whole Ike Irish goes early on a deal thing really didn't pan out.

[Madhawk23]

@Spencer Michaelis really loved Gavin Fien I know, and I think there was some thought he'd be available at 20, so that's one guy off the board that we might have targeted.  

[Joseph Zarr]

Daniel Pierce to the Rays is fun. I really liked Pierce.

[Joseph Zarr]

And, Cunningham essentially is the last prep infielder up the middle remaining, yes? We are at the Twins as far as I can tell.

Y’all ready to see us pick someone nobody has predicted? 

Yep.  Someone 35th on the board.

 

I like Laviolette

I had the TV and the livestream on and had to mute the TV because it was consistently two picks behind.

Please don't spoil in this thread

9 shortstops through 14 picks, don’t think the brewers will go there, would love to get a power bar like Neyens or LaViolette

[markedman5]

Still waiting for an analyst to say “ Man I hate this pick…….i just don’t think he is any good at all……..they really just blew it!”

😎

[Jake McKibbin]

This draft is crazy

[Jake McKibbin]

Wehiwa Aloy might be available for the Brewers, he'd be fast fascinating pick. The Brewers love makeup too, and it's a key reason for his golden spikes trophy

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Anyone but Bodine at this point. All these mocks have me cautiously optimistic we have other players in mind.

That's a spoiler? I mentioned one name and asked a question. I'll duck out. Have at it. Not trying to spoil anything. Enjoy.

[CheeseheadInQC]

Unless they like Cunningham or Wood (assuming Irish is gone), I am thinking this is going to be a below slot hitter.

Nevermind. I mixed up the name Witherspoon and Cunningham. False Alarm.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

Don’t lol that’s ridiculous just saying the team on the clock is not spoiling
