    Seems like there must be something going on with Sam Carlson. Really surprised he is still floating out there and the Twins passed him up twice at #35 and #37.
  2. Eye Black
    It is possible Carlson has a deal in place with the Twins to get some of the excess dollars they are saving on the Royce Lewis selection.
  3. Eye Black
    That one got me for a split second as well.
  4. Eye Black
    Players still on the board who have been mentioned with the Brewers include Luis Campusano, Tristan Beck, Drew Waters, Sam Carlson.

    Each pick has a slot value for signing bonuses. Players can cut deals with teams so they can get drafted higher. Signing for underslot leaves the team with a bigger portion of their bonus pool which allows them to spread it out more throughout the draft. If some sites like Baseball America and Bleacher Report had him picked as high as 5th or 6th in their mock drafts, why would he agree to a lesser bonus that what his draft slot calls for? Those sites projected he would go that high based on projected under slot deals. The highest most mocks picked him without citing a "deal" being made was around #15.

    Romero would be amazing. Take Hiura underslot, and give Romero mid-first $ to sign. Am I correct that his off-field stuff was all nonsense like being photographed with a a bong? The most public reason for his dismissal was fighting with a teammate or teammates. Also reportedly some teams were turned off by the answers they received during the in-person interviews with him.
  7. Eye Black
    nope. dodgers got him. Second year in a row the Dodgers popped a player with Wisconsin ties in the first round.
  8. Eye Black
    Will be interesting if the Brewers force Hiura to take care of the elbow immediately (and likely miss the remainder of the season) or if they let him DH for a few months. Have to guess they will focus on the elbow first. Edit: And part two will be whether he has TJ surgery versus trying the PRP injections again.

    Based on the discussion from the previous draft thread (and tip from colbyjack) I think we are banking on Heliot Ramos being available at #34.
  10. Eye Black
    I don't want to over do it here (probably too late), but Hiura looks like a perfect #2 hole hitter in a potent lineup. I think they found a guy who could be a key piece to a very good offensive lineup.
  11. Eye Black
    Projected to sign for less than slot value which in the case of the Brewers is $4,570,000. So if he signs for under that slot value they can allocate the money towards other selections.
  12. Eye Black
    If I had to pick five players that I would bet on to become All-Stars from this draft I would include Hiura. The arm is not a concern for me since the guy is a future 2nd baseman. I think he is going to be a major league extra base hitting machine.
  13. Eye Black
    I know they are going to take some heat, but I LOVE the pick.
  14. Eye Black
    Assuming the Phillies take Haseley here are my favorite six options remaining for the Brewers in order... 1) Shane Baz 2) JB Bukauskas 3) Keston Hiura 4) David Peterson 5) Trevor Rogers 6) Jordon Adell
  15. Eye Black
    MLB DH is for the pitcher only.
  16. Eye Black
    Saw that Jim Callis reported that Brendan McKay turned down an offer from the Twins to go 1.1. Curious to compare what type of offer he turned down versus what he is going to get paid when he gets drafted.
  17. Eye Black
    Royce Lewis is officially the #1 pick in this year's MLB Draft. WHO could have possibly seen that coming two weeks ago?
  18. Eye Black
    The draft discussion will continue in our 2017 MLB Pick Discussion (Rounds 1-5) thread.
  19. Eye Black
    Twins are on the clock for 1.1, lets continue draft discussion for rounds 1-5 at this link now.
  20. Eye Black
    BA just updated that mock draft and do indeed have Heliot Ramos going at #34. Peterson/Ramos thing may have some legs here.
  21. Eye Black
    Here is the link to BA's Mock Draft 5.0. They also have Royce Lewis going #1 overall and Kyle Wright falling to #8.
  22. Eye Black
    Some of the draft experts seem to believe he is just posturing for financial leverage. Can't imagine a team will take him in the top 15 unless they are fairly certain he is going to sign. The downside is that he isn't likely going to be accepting any below slot deals unless he goes in the top few picks.
  23. Eye Black
    I would be on board with this, but for Ramos to fall there would it likely have to be an over-slot deal at #34? Getting fired up for this draft to start!
  24. Eye Black
    If they end up with Baz, Bukauskas, or Hiura I will be pretty thrilled. Would still be pretty happy with Peterson or Rogers as well.
  25. Eye Black
    It does seem like they have been quietly connected to Rogers for a while now which is why I went that direction with my prediction in our community mock. Haseley is interesting from the standpoint we have mostly assumed he would be off the board and haven't given him a lot of thought. Among guys not mentioned by Piliere here, I am still holding out a sliver of hope they are considering Shane Baz.
