There's a ton of smoke that the Astros might pass on Rodon and Aiken because of their loving goofy slot games. Please do this, Astros.

Haven't Astros fans endured enough pain? :(

The whole Appel situation has left me worried with Rodon, so I'd be pretty happy with Aiken

Should have listened to Imasalmon :(

Yeah it seems like the consensus is that the Astros will take the cheaper Aiken and the Marlins will go with Rodon.

Yeah, seeing Rodon wanted his full slot value if he goes #1 pretty much sealed it

Aiken is better but the potential cheap out people are snickering about is taking neither of the two (in fact Aiken's price tag is close enough to Rodon that I kind of think the Astros pass on both)

I'm ready to be so salty

They should take Aiken because he's the best player, just like how they should have took Buxton because he was the best player.

Eh I'm pretty happy with Correa tbh

Holy poo poo Heyman had Schwarber to the Cubs

So far he got the first four picksplayers right, but had Rodon to the Marlins and Kolek to the Sox

Heyman is 3 for 5 and has all 5 top players correct, just transposed Kolek and Rodon

If he's right Alex Jackson goes next

Heyman is a wizard

Did Harold Reynolds just say that a team taking you in the first round proves you're a first round talent? Riveting commentary there

What's tonight? Just the first round? Competitive balance A picks? Round 2?
