Was he?

Elias need to be on the phone with his target at #30 convincing him to scare away other teams.

Elias “leaked” the issues about Martin.

Martin slides in the draft.

Elias picks Martin at 30 for cheaper.

Dude, if Martin falls that far, that's gotta be some sort of record for a draft pick in MLB to fall that far.

Well, I was happy for him.

No way he falls to 30

I gotta be honest. All day, I've been kinda wondering if I really wanted the O's to select Martin. Just not really wowed by a guy with a Dansby Swanson comp. I was more interested in Lacy today. 

Oh well. Kjerstad it is. I hope he's at least solid on defense. 

[Moose Milligan]

The GMs and scouts have had more time to sit around and second guess themselves this year.  That's gotta be the only reason.

I hope the best for Kjerstad but...man, I can't get my hopes up, this is really disappointing.

When Manfred announced his name it was in like slo-mo.  And I was like, "What's that noise Manfred is making with his mouth?"

No one thought he would still be there at 4. Yet here we are.

Pittsburgh was rumored to be in on him. 

I think the Cardinals picked like 18 that year and said he wouldn't have gotten past them

Or maybe, just maybe, he was actually at the top of their board.

Yes, I was laughing when I typed that.

Elias will tell us that. 

I did like what the Vanderbilt coach had to say about him, both before the draft and after the pick.

Ok, Martin dropping to 30.  What are we betting?

[ArtVanDelay]

Martin to the Jays.  What a colossal mistake passing on him could be.

Good luck beating Toronto.
