Groucho Marxist posted:The Tigers are going to draft Nick Burdi and call him up to the majors ASAP Rumor is now it'll be Brendan Finnegan which is even crazier since he's a TCU guy and needs some rest.

MourningView posted:Most people (or at least a decent number) seem to think he's better anyway so is this really a big deal? The Marlins/Rodon thing is a big deal because it's an ownership move for a dumb reason (Cuban!!!) even if he is a good pick there. The baseball ops people allegedly want a bat and baseball ops and ownership fighting is always fun. See also: Mets.

Emanuel Collective posted:So Baseball America suggested the Cubs might take Kyle Schwarber based entirely on financial reasons, not because he's the best player available. Cool! That is definitely the reason they took him, he is good but in a 15-20th pick of the draft type way.

seiferguy posted: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

FlamingLiberal posted:Knowing Loria, I'm betting Boras' demands for Rodon scared him off. He loves to cheap out on the draft. Yeah after they dropped the "We want $6mil" thing the rumbles about that started.

Beede is a great pick for the Giants. They develop pitchers better than anyone and he needs the TLC they'll give him.

Hart is king of the dumb comps, I would just ignore any he makes.

ROCK THE HOUSE M.D. posted:yeah, ranked #67th and they took him at #24. Geez. Is that where MLB has him ranked because everyone else has him significantly lower than that. He's 84th with BA, 99th with Scout, and PG is getting slammed with now but he's in that same area with them.

The Cubs aren't one of the teams expected to go nuts in IFA this year. I think their plan was get a guy like Flaherty or Justus Sheffield and try to buy them out and grab more HS arms but whoops. e: Did they get hit with the 100k limit thing? leokitty fucked around with this message at 19:18 on Jun 6, 2014 |

The Cubs announced him as not a catcher so don't even waste time speculating about Schwarber at catcher.
