2016 MLB Draft Talk

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

Thanks, phins! But, did you think of the children? That's the important part.

Since we're not allowed signatures, and thinking of the children is of the utmost importance, I changed my location to remind everyone (in a non-creepy manner) that we all need to think of the children. Got it? Okay. Good talk.

Yeah, it's hard not to be pretty excited with who they've picked so far. Other than Dylan at #33, they've pretty much gone for the best player available. Which I like. And he'll sign for under slot, letting them potentially nab some other players that teams are avoiding because of their price tag as well.

Let's hope Rounds 3-10 this afternoon go as well as last night's picks!

count me as giddy after yesterday on the whole. Flo made me a believer. Awesome wr-wr-wrap up by Phins. Lets make history today.

This will be interesting to see. My best guess is we'll see some under slot guys balanced out with a flier or two.

Way too early to really care about this, I know, but Baseball America is out with its "way too early" mock draft:

Has the Cardinals picking RHP Logan Shore of Florida at 23, C Matt Thaiss of Virginia at 33, and LHP Joey Wentz of Shawnee Mission East at 34.

Wentz plays in my backyard more or less, so I might have to go see him play.

Even if this was a way too early mock, the Cardinals got 3 of the top 12 players in it.

good to hear about the offensive upside on Perez--yea the scouting "report" i glanced at what from VEB and they were lukewarm on his offense.

nicce haul for the cards in the first round

Thanks Luke, what'd you change to fix them from a coding standpoint?

I think just looking at a few videos, it's pretty clear Perez has serious talent defensively. His offensive ability, however, is what will make/break him as a prospect. He has a lot of room to grow, obviously. He needs to figure out how to recognize pitches from what I read. His swing doesn't look terrible, but it's not great either. All in all, it's a long road. But, the upside if he figures it out and gets stronger is well worth it.

As long as he keeps the children in mind.
