Re: 2011 MLB Draft
Supplemental picks will be on sportsnet also?
Will be fun though cause Jays got 5 picks in top 60!
They might even get Gretzky cause based on how much picks we have before a spot where he's projected to go, I'm sure we'll have made more than enough picks and might just draft him for fun lol.Comment

Pirates will select UCLA pitcher Gerrit Cole with no. 1 pick, a source says
The Pirates will take UCLA right-hander Gerrit Cole with the No. 1 overall pick in the First-Year Player Draft on Monday, a baseball source told MLB.com.
There wasn't previously a clear-cut choice for the top pick, with the Pirates considering as many as five players over the course of the spring. Recently, though, that list had seemingly been whittled down to three: Cole, University of Virginia lefty Danny Hultzen and Rice third baseman Anthony Rendon.
There's no question why a team would consider Cole, a power pitcher, for the top spot. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder has the look of a strong, durable front-line starter and the pure stuff to match. He's been clocked as high as 102 mph on radar guns and routinely hits triple digits. He maintains his velocity deep into games, sitting comfortably at 95-96 mph throughout a start. His slider is a plus pitch when it's working, an 88-90 mph nasty breaking ball. Even his changeup is hard, at 88-90 mph, and can also be a plus offering at times.Last edited by goosedennis; 06-06-2011, 11:42 AM.Comment

Ugh...apparently the Orioles are strongly considering taking some scrub named Archie Bradley, aka Matt Hobgood Part II.
They need to stop blaming the AL East for their struggles and instead blame their completely inept amateur scouting department.Comment

Re: 2011 MLB Draft
Pretty hard to diss a pick in the MLB draft until a few years after, not like the NFL draft where you basically know everything about a guy, all the hype,etc.Saints, LSU, Seminoles, Pelicans, Marlins, LightningComment

Re: Pirates will select UCLA pitcher Gerrit Cole with no. 1 pick, a source says
I am, but the dude is not worth the 4th pick...it's clearly Hobgood Part II.
The guys I would take above Bradley, not counting Cole because he's going to Pittsburgh:
Anthony Rendon
Dylan Bundy
Danny Hultzen
Taylor Jungmann
Bubba Starling
Trevor Bauer
And it's guaranteed at least 4 of those guys will be available. It'd be an **** mistake if they take this dude over any of the guys I just listed. Starling is the only reach I'd understand because he's a potential 5 tool guy and outside of Machado and maybe L.J. Hoes we have zero offensive prospects to speak of.
If they pass on Rendon for anybody I'll personally drive to Baltimore and kick Joe Jordan in the shins.Last edited by BunnyHardaway; 06-06-2011, 02:03 PM.Comment
