Day 2 draft thread

[LookinUp]

Anyone have a best available list? I know it's a fool's errand to follow those lists in the draft, particularly as it relates to projecting Jordan's next pick, but it's interesting to follow.

I believe he is draft eligible though...

He is, just not from high school.

Osich in the fifth! Here we go!

True, from CalState Fullerton. A nice relief arm.

For a guy who said you had to get bats early and an organization that is bat light Jordan is taking a lot of pitchers. I don't like it. It looks like he is trying to build for the major league team instead of taking the best player.

[Stotle]

No offense to Stotle, but I saw Esposito going as a compensation pick in two mock drafts.

None taken. I've seen a lot of him and am pretty comfy with my take. But that doesn't mean it's the only defensible take.

I think we're talking about different people. I'm talking about Brady, from Clemson. The guy we didn't sign 2 years ago. Maybe I'm the one confused.

OSICH issue, according to Nick:

Left his last start early with tightness. Since he has TJ history teams holding off

I meant Raymond Hernadez, David's brother and Rick's son

Makes much sense. Thanks

Some general thoughts on the Day 2 picks. I think BAL should have opened up the bank in the 2nd Round and grabbed either Dillon Howard or Daniel Norris. I just don't understand not spending some.

Esposito is a fine target. Should be a slot signing. I have doubts about him but he's an excellent ahtlete and I don't have a huge issue rolling the dice on him. Much like Klein last year, I just think it's an odd pick in BAL's spot, with a chance to add higher impact talent.

Some power bats available for Round 5

Cody Asche (Nebraska)

Matt Skole (Georgia Tech)

Taylor Ard (Washington St.)

I'd grab one of these. Well, I'd really grab Derek Fisher (of, Cedar Grove HS, Penn.) because of the huge 5-tool upside and big raw power, but he'll cost $3 million + to sign and I don't see Baltimore doing that.

Phillies take Asche.

Down the road some, I would love to see an article / post from you about guys that didn't sign last year and whether it paid off for them this year.

This is depressing, I don't even know why I bother sometimes.
