My nauseous pregnant wife who is on her way to bed just goes "Why aren't we drafting any pitchers?!?!"

I don't even understand the aircraft carrier analogy.  I think it's so weird though, but this pinecone on the MLB Network show says it like it means something.

Do you know how many drones you can launch off an aircraft carrier?  Thousands.

 

That's not really a joke.

So we drafted Gunnar's replacement with the pick he earned us? That's cold.

We thought that with Grenier.

Elias didn’t pick him though.

I guess he carries everyone? O'Dowd loves to call people that.

I guess that's it.  A little silly, but it's his vernacular.

All I know about drones is that you just drone and drone.

Think the signings will come quicker since the draft is later than in the past?

I know.  But that is still what we all said to explain the Grenier pick.  Just pointing out the similarity.

It's funny, when I was in AIT so many years ago the drone School was on hiatus.

im going to lean on he is going to line up with being developed into utility infielder to back up Holliday, Henderson, Mayo & Westburg.

I hope so.  I'd like to get Honeycutt in the system so we can pearl clutch about his swing and miss a little bit this summer.

I'd send a laugh emoji but I'm apparently all out.

Understood.  Frustrating draft.  Last years draft has been mediocre at best so far.  Getting worried the magic was in having very early picks.

You don't draft a guy this early if that's all you hope for him to be (in my opinion).
