I was hoping for an overslot candidate.

On the other side of the ball, the name that jumps out right away is Trevor Craport. I really like Trevor Craport. I like him so much that we’re almost at the point where I’m actively seeking out bad news about him to temper my expectations for him. Craport had a quietly great 2016 season and is doing more of the same so far in 2017. His power, arm strength, and athleticism are all average or better. He’s a competent glove at third base who also has intriguing upside as a catching conversion project if his drafting team so desires. There’s just a ton to like about his game. In a lackluster third base college class, he has a great shot to rise way up boards this spring.

That catching part is definitely interesting...

I was too.  We still have a ways to go, but at this point it's looking like DL is holding this draft hostage.

Might be some hidden value there if they switch him to C.

I'm worried about this too.  Seems like we're putting all of our draft into one guy.

And a HS pitcher at that.

Did we really draft a guy with "crap" in his last name???  Lol.

Is it worse then tossing a lot of money at pitcher named DL?

I like the two Halls, but so far no one else is really interesting.

Why would we wait until round 17 to take an overslot if we actually liked him a decent but and the other option is this. This process is tough to follow.

It seems lie round 11 would be nothing but overslot guys ?
