Might free up some interesting targets later on.

Yes. I have a feeling even most of the TJ guys might be gone by 33 so probably a HS pitcher there if they go pitcher.

I'm rooting for Johnson. Elias confirmed it was LH plus Shortstop was the tie breaker. 

Good old (new?) analytics, boiled down to the absolute basics.

Would Parada-Collier be the opening duo if Cohen was going to ignore all the limits?

This Parada kid is a knucklehead!

Carlos Correa's gotta love the MIN Brooks Lee pick.

Clap clap, clap clap clap.

Isn't it assumed that Correa is opting out after this year?

I assume so, and that LAD are the favorites.

I like the notion of Correa perhaps more than anyone being the player Elias would endorse to Angelos for a mega-paycheck.     But the Holliday decision perhaps throttles any small hope for that that might ever have existed.

Well, since I think a lot of teams are calling pitches for their catchers now, I don't think being bright is a big requirement anymore for that positions, but listening to him after listening to some of the others including highschoolers like Jones and Johnson, shows him to be a step behind in polish.

With Holiday, Westburg and Hernderson - Is there any need for Correa for that crazy money - don't see him a game changer.

Just an observation from watching the show. Tough or not, he comes across as very immature and unpolished, particularly for a college catcher.

Ok. I watched and didn't find it an unusual interview.

Collier still sitting here is astounding to me.

Me too. Some team is going to get a steal. Hopefully not the Mets doubling down on value pick steals!

Well no offense, then you are not very astute at identifying human nature and mannerisms. lol
