I assume they know his number. I fully expect their next two picks to be college seniors, whether that is enough we will find out.

I guess Baty is now an underslot?

Draft talk kills me.  Find me someone who doesn't let their "tools play."

I see it all the time, tbh. Some guys play stiff. They don't clear their hips, get good extension...all kinds of things. That's what they're talking about, I assume.

We have abandoned the best player available philosophy.

Yup, but we can always get back to it.

It’s awful, they come up with new nonsensical cliches every year in every sport, experts like to create their own language to separate themselves from the peasants.

And...they do.

Ortiz is fine value in the 4th, again, not a sexy pick, but in the range you’d expect him to go.

Can he get to his power?  How does his body project?

I guess so, they obviously know his number better than we do.

 

The Mets did just grab a college senior in the fourth round, curious how many more they take today.

[MurphDogg]

The Marlins have taken two college seniors with their first two picks today and none of their three picks yesterday look like major overslots. Curious what they do with their round 5 pick.

Callis says all seniors from here on.

That gets them to an offer of $2.4-2.45M for Allan plus however much underslot they are able to go on Baty, although their second pick yesterday, Wolf may be an overslot too. We will see if it works out for them. A three man draft is an interesting strategy.

They can always hope for a Mason McCoy out of the SRs.

Yeah, I would love to see a list of most successful MLB players who were senior signs (under 25K bonus).

[MurphDogg]

Stinson goes to Tampa Bay. I am super curious what he signs for. They are having an interesting draft.

Good to see a local kid get picked.
