2011 MLB draft thread

[vols kick balls]

Starts at 7 tonight. No phenoms like Strasburg or Harper but it is being touted as the best draft class in years due to the depth of top talent. It is being compared to the 05 class which produced names like Jay Bruce, Justin Upton, Ryan Braun, Troy Tulowitzki, etc.

Heard everything from Bauer, Bundy, or Cole to Kansas City. Should be interesting nonetheless.

Ryan Zimmerman, as well.

I came here to start this thread. I'm excited for tonight.

#1 pick has been set... Pirates will take Gerrit Cole

Royals will probably take whoever is left out of Bauer, Bundy, and Hultzen

 

[MaehlMan]

I wonder who will draft Norris.

His stock has fallen a bit. I wonder if he'll be Clemson bound.

BaseballAmerica seems convinced that the Bucs are picking Hultzen.

Happy with any of the three. Bubba Starling is in the picture as well.

Nah. He'll get first round cash.

Very interested to see what kind of pull the Rays get.

I agree, but it could be mid 20s cash, not early teens cash

That was just the first thing I saw on mlb.com this morning, not sure if it is 100% confirmed or what.

I like Levi Michael, Brandon Nimmo, and Brian Goodwin a lot.

MLBNetwork seems to think so.

I'm fine so long as Dayton doesn't pull a Chris Lubanski.

Rendon is sliding. Starling to the Royals.

 

[bam15]

Bubbaaaaaaaaaaa.

 

[vols kick balls]

Rendon to the Nats. They have really stockpiled some elite talent the last three years.

Sonny Gray from Smyrna is going to the As.

I'm going to call Norris to the Rays. Just seems like their kind of pick. I was hoping the Reds would have grabbed him although I'm very happy with Stephenson.

Told ya, Clemson bound.

Rendon at no. 5? I'll flippin take it. Wow.

Meyer and Goodwin I knew would happen, I didn't expect the best college bat in the draft.

The owners wanted a yes man with no balls. And that's him.
