2019 General Draft Thread

[25 Nuggets]

Incidentally, will the early morning Elias presser be streamed?

I wonder what’s up with Tyler Callihan. Lots of first round predictions for him.

I would love to see Song. Some chance the rules change again and he could play earlier than projected.

Catcher, Short Stop and Center Fielder we got stronger up the middle today. I love it!!! Trust the process

He's pitched out of the bullpen so maybe that means he's got a better arm than some of the guys we've been running out there recently...

[25 Nuggets]

Stowers is Luke's #53 prospect, lefty OF

[25 Nuggets]

So to recap so far:

1. A 6'2" switch hitting catcher that may or may not see his time at C limited
2. A 6'3" lefty SS probably moving to 3B
3. A 6'3" lefty CF probably moving to C-OF

I'm noticing a trend.

President Trump said a month or so ago he might relax the rules and allow academy athletes to go pro immediately.

As of yet he hasn't followed up and done it, and if he did, I don't know when it would take effect or if it would take effect in time for Song or not.

So it is kind of an uncertain environment to try to make a draft decision, that's for sure.

It sucks they can’t make up their minds. All the way back to them screwing Nap Mccollum.  The uncertainty let’s you get him at 79 instead of 29 though. Worst case it’s 5 years from now but there’s a chance it’s much sooner.  We took a basketball player at 121 so this is only a round earlier!
