How likely is it that Seth Johnson will still be available at #42?

Very unlikely.

Figured. I’d assumed he would have already been grabbed at this point.

Here’s a good right up on Brennan Malone. https://www.wfla.com/sports/mlb-draft-prospect-brennan-malone-img-academy/2049208253 

Fangraphs latest mock has him going to the rays at 40 Im hoping he slips to us. He’s a beast!!

Question for anyone smarter with this stuff than I am - any “strange” picks in the draft or is all kind of pretty in line with rankings thus far?

Well I am happy that Mike didn’t try to be “clever”

now the question is whether we see him in ‘20 or ‘21...or ‘22.

Could be late call up in '20.  More likely a May call up in '21.

How long did it take Machado to come up? Wieters?

@Luke-OH Do you have any thoughts on Brennan Malone? Chance he will be there at 42 if so would you take him?

[Philip]

Im interested in how well Luke predicted everything...pretty well, I’m predicting.

Almost right down the predicted line so far.

So far I believe its been in line with most mock drafts no big surprises yet.

Machado was called up I think when he was 19, But we were a good team and we were a contending team. The Orioles right now are a disaster, and we don’t need a player, we need a Messiah.

Luke had him as the #15 prospect in the draft, ahead of seven guys who have already been picked.

This draft coverage is terrible. MLB TV and/or MLB have brutal pacing.

Michael Toglia appears to be a bit of a surprise. FG mock had him at 62, but also to Colorado. Apparently Col drafted him out of HS as well, albeit much later. 

Edit - Luke had him at 88

Luke also had Shewmake ranked much lower.

I feel like the reporter interviewing guys who are in the studio is trying to make them cry. You're no Roy Firestone, lady!
