2012 MLB Draft Thread

Selig gives a speech as if his notes are written in Phoenician.

WHAT

Astros select Carlos Correa

OMG I literally yelled out loud.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Can't really complain though. Correa is a great prospect at a premium position.

 

[FalcoVol]

Upside pick.

From the video they're showing I love his swing.

Easily the most exciting draft.

Jmo, but I think it's the worst.

 

[FalcoVol]

6-4, 190lbs @17 years old.

Cool, another player the Astros will be trading to a contender in five years.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Twins get Buxton. Expected, but probably made a little tougher by having Appel there. Hopefully Buxton will develop better than Hicks.

 

[underscore]

Really surprised that the Astros passed on Buxton. That kid is a freak.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

I think Seattle should get Mike Zunino.

 

[FalcoVol]

Jmo, but I think it's the worst.

Even if it were the best, Bud Selig makes it the worst.

 

[Escape Goat]

Salcedo has disappointed me. Wren thought if he was in the draft, he would have been a top five pick. He hasn't lived up to that. I think they rushed him some. I thought he should have repeated Rome.

Bethancourt will do fine. He'll spend the year in Double A and in Triple A next year. Though he can't take a walk if his life depended on it.

Ala Jeff Francoeur?

GREAT pick by the Mariners with Zunino. My favorite player this draft. Will be there quickly and allow Montero to be a full time catcher.

Seems like a kid that was born to be a catcher.

O's select LSU RHP Kevin Gausman.

Apparently there are signability concerns with Appel, so he is dropping. However, the Royals want pitching too, so he could be next.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Kyle Zimmer to the Royals.

Kyle Zimmer to the Royals.

The tube is about 90 seconds ahead of ya.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

I'm thinking Albert Almora to the Cubs.

I'm thinking Albert Almora to the Cubs.

I hope they don't take a pitcher and doom him to early elbow/shoulder surgery.

 

[zjcvols]

If Appel falls to #8, PIT takes him. Taillon, Cole, and Appel in 2014? hmy:

Great job Arencibia

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Yup, no surprise it's Almora. Max Fried to the Padres.

Good pick for the Cubs. Will make a great duo if they sign Soler as well.

 

[whocaresgobobcats]

Look for an Albert Almora in a Smokies Park near you in 3 years!

 

[FalcoVol]

How far will the Appel fall from the tree?

(Sorry)

Selig, is that you?
