BA is reporting that KC is choosing Moustakas at #2. Hmmmmm...

Also that the Orioles are the early wild card in the draft.

That was before Olney's report on Vitters though, I think.

Well, only 40 minutes to go so all the speculation will end soon enough.

Markpolis backwards is silopkraM :eek: Also, Art Skydynnel is Lenny Dykstra backwards... just a bit of fun amidst the madness. :)

Very nice Greg. But I didn't know Randy Johnson was my father. ;) And on my best days I can only hit 99MPH.

...........the Little Unit............ We need a thread to post more jokes about that.

But on a draft note... despite the conflicting reports, the two guys that are mentioned the most, Weiters and Aumont will still be there.

Lets keep hoping on Weiters

If Vitters goes #2 and Parker #3, the Pirates to me are a very interesting team at #4. What are the Pirates going to do? Wieters seems too pricey, as does Moustakas, so if they skip the Boras Boys and take a hitter as has been speculated, it may come down to Heyward or Mesoraco.

Greg, Hoosiers or anyone else able and willing,

Is someone going to be able to post the picks as they happen? I'm at work and won't be able to do instant updates.

If no one else can, I'll give updates every five picks or so. With the Orioles not having their 2nd and 3rd round picks, I don't know how much interest there will be for constant updates in the early rounds.

      Agreed, but it just seems a little more pronounced with Jorge.

      That can be said about most hitters in the major leagues.

      If you execute your slider, you are in good shape against Mateo. If you hang your slider, RIP.

      Yes - see Tony’s top 75 prospect ratings for last offseason. Miguel was ranked 35th. Strong defensive catcher with plus contact skills. Power was absent last year but emerged yesterday. I’d expect he’ll be top 15 by end of year.

      Baseball will change, there's almost no doubt about that. But it's very unlikely to change back to the ways of 50 or 100 years ago because there's no competitive advantage to do so. It will probably change in ways that we don't fully expect, and that haven't happened before. Unless the powers-that-be change the rules and conditions, which they've always been very reluctant to do, the strategies of today are the strategies of today because they win a lot more games than the strategies of 1970. I think it's more likely that we see individual pitchers pitch even less in each outing (although possibly more frequently) than it is we go back to complete games. Even if the rules are changed, say you can only have nine pitchers on the roster like was common 50 years ago, today's GMs and managers would just use each pitcher for three innings every three games instead of a four-man rotation with lots of complete games.

      I try to not get too caught up in Mateo but I have to be honest. Watching him in person is just a treat. Love that he is playing so well and continue to be happy he is still an Oriole.

      Isn't is just weird that it took 100+ years to figure that out? Hey, that guy hits a bunch of balls right through the box, maybe we should have the second baseman move over that direction a little? Nah, if we do it so will everybody, and we like .350 hitters even when they're on the other team. It would be like a football game where there's a formation where a WR keeps getting completely open downfield and busting 40 yard plays, and it takes 35 years for defenses to adjust. "It's just how it is! If we cover that guy, then the running back might average five yards a carry!"
