Well if Martin turns out to be good for Toronto, Bitsko for Tampa...I mean, yeah....

I like seeing the Sox being idiots though.

At least the Rays aren’t good at developing pitchers.

So yeah, it's looking more and more like our plan is going to backfire. Which top 10-12 talent has fallen to where we could get them at 30? Bitsko is a big loss. 

Well, as I was telling @Can_of_corn, you can't pick underslot at #2 and target one guy at 30.  Too many variables there, it doesn't make sense.  Banking on Bitsko being there would have been stupid.

So I'm assuming they have to have a handful of players that they'll want to target with the next two picks that they project that will be there.  I don't see how else they could be doing this.

Well, as I was telling @Moose Milligan I don't see how they have ten guys picked out worthy of the 1M+ in savings they should have.

Banking on Bitsko sounds like a book title. Or a future thread here if things don’t work out. Haha.

Bitsko gone

If you go to the roulette table, do you push all your chips to the middle and pick one number and one number only?  Or do you like your chances better if you've got, say, 10 numbers you can pick from?

They may have trouble signing him, though.

Hey, we're up again soon.  Prepare for more disappointment.

That is definitely a possibility.

Now I hope he follows through with that UVA commitment.

Harold Reynolds is a piece of work.

Who’s the top DH on the board?

[BohKnowsBmore]

Am I the only one annoyed by comparing aluminum bat exit velo to wood bat (MLB) on draft coverage?

[PHRESH]

I'm sorta hoping for Carmen Mlodzinski to be the O's next pick only to continue the weird name trend.
