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

Super happy the White Sox got Rodon. If he ends up being anything above average, the rotation will have a a lefty threesome of Sale/Quintana/Rodon from 2015ish on :pwn:

Forget the bullshit, he's playing 1B probably and might hit 25/30 homers. Not a 1.4 pick. gently caress

So Baseball America suggested the Cubs might take Kyle Schwarber based entirely on financial reasons, not because he's the best player available. Cool!

He's nowhere near the best player available. It's and underslot for Flaherty at 45.

I thought Rodon was gonna be a lock for the Marlins. Oh well. Kolek is comparable to Josh Beckett, and we all know how that turned out.
Knowing Loria, I'm betting Boras' demands for Rodon scared him off. He loves to cheap out on the draft.

That is definitely the reason they took him, he is good but in a 15-20th pick of the draft type way.

Whoa the Mariners actually picked a high schooler. Alex Jackson is a catcher but will probably be moved to the outfield because of his size / health reasons. Pure swing or something like that.

They announced him as an OF so he is no longer a catcher I am guessing :v:

Same logic as making the Simpson pick but Schwarber is much less likely to be completely out of baseball in two season

also in the case of Simpson that pick was not guaranteed if they didn't sign him, so you can use that as a little bit of an excuse (but he was supposed to go no earlier than the 4th round I believe).

We can just be born without them, and become a whole league of knuckleball pitchers.

Schwarber was recruited by several Big Ten schools to play football which is proof that he is a slow unathletic future DH.
