Draft is Monday. Pirates have the first pick.
My Cubs have the 9th pick, and I'm hoping Bubba Starlin slips to them

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.Comment

Re: 2011 MLB Draft
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.Comment

I'd like it if the Braves drafted an OF of some sort. Move Prado to 3B when Chipper's gone.Last edited by TheMatrix31; 06-04-2011, 02:46 AM.Comment

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.Former OS Editor.
