2016 MLB Draft Thread.

Ya' know. 17 immature compared to what? 18 immature. Lol

If he has immaturity issues, we haven't heard anything about it. No arrests, no abuse issues, nothing. Instead, some phantom shit dropped him into your lap

I have to admit, I'm glad they happened to draft a pitcher.

It's off the fucking chart. You guys got a top 3 pick at #12.

Yup and we got Andrew Benintendi last year too.

A future rotation of Espinoza, Groome, Kopech, and if he ages well....Price.

Today will really be great if Matt Thaiss falls to us in Rnd 2. But I doubt that happens, he should go end of the first round somewhere, I believe he was a Yankee target too. Maybe Sheffield? or Bryan Reynolds? for their pick

[jacksonianmarch]

Whitley was the guy I wanted. This stinks

I think Dunn is still on the board, I would have been happy with him at 12.

Blake Rutherford. #8 prospect, HS CFer. I like the pick, hope he develops

Some people had him going to the Sox, shit....you guys got a good prospect.

[jacksonianmarch]

I am very pleased with the pick. That sweet lefty swing in the stadium would be something nice to see. Currently CFer, but likely to be a RF in the bigs

I'm super excited with our pick.

We finally have multiple top pitching prospects in our system.

MLB.com and Perfect game had Groome ranked #1, ESPN had him #2 and baseball america had him #3. The only possible downside to think is they might have to bank their whole draft on this. I could see them drafting a lot of unranked college seniors 3-10 to sign well underslot to save some slot money to throw at Groome. But still, if he pans out......it doesn't matter who else they draft.

ITT he slid because of his bonus demands and transferring from Vandie to a JuCo for leverage. Maturity is probably not the real issue. Issue is probably the dollar sign his parents see.

[Emp9]

Yeah, I thought Ian Anderson was who we would wind up drafting and both him and Groome had some Vanderbuilt connection .. But Groome wouldn't be close to our pick. What are the chances he signs?
