2011 MLB Draft

[Mo]

Draft is Monday. Pirates have the first pick.

My Cubs have the 9th pick, and I'm hoping Bubba Starlin slips to them

[Marino]

Dodgers will go pitching, much to my shigrin.

Marlins gonna take their usual best available approach, pitching may be priority. However they drafted Mahtook out of HS and I heard rumors that if he's available the Marlins might take him

Anyone know if it will be streamed on MLB.com? I was really hoping it was next week because I'd be home from school and have MLB network again, but it comes a week too early.

If I'm not mistaken, it was streamed online last year.

They always draft pitcher. Even if it's a position player, they always convert him to a pitcher.

Anyways, it's pretty much guaranteed that the Padres will be drafting a college pitcher at No. 10. It might be Matt Barnes or Sonny Gray, depending on who's available, but barring the annual Padres injury bug that hits the first player picked, the Padres could very well end up better off than if they had signed Whitson last year. However, I am hoping that the Padres take SS Francisco Lindor with this pick.

As for their second first round pick, that one is a matter of best available, but I hope they go with a high school player there. Maybe 2B Kolten Wang, 3B Cory Spandenberg (although he might get picked earlier), or C Anthony Susac.

I pray that Anthony Rendon falls to us like Wieters did in '07.

Re: 2011 MLB Draft

Colten Wong or C.J. Cron are the names mentioned for Rockies. Wouldn't mind either one.

I'd like it if the Braves drafted an OF of some sort. Move Prado to 3B when Chipper's gone.

Re: 2011 MLB Draft

Nooooo.. In ESPN Latest mock draft for this Starling goes 6th to WASH. Let's hope he falls 9 to the Cubs!

Anyways, It appears Cubs are going to with a Bat with this Pick.

Re: 2011 MLB Draft

M's are in a solid place sitting at No. 2. We can add Rendon to create a future of Smoak/Ackley/Rendon on the bases, or we can add Bubba who is nothing less than amazing.

I'd take Starling in a heartbeat if he wasn't playing football at Nebraska, but since that may factor into everything I see Seattle taking Rendon.
