I hate everything. This draft sucks. Red Sox could have used Beck or Gilbert. Ugh.

Instead they went SS in the 1st round back-to-back years

 

[TheBigOne10]

With or without Crawford we will be fine. Maui, Denton and Alexander are all great portal pickups that fill needs.

If Tidwell does not go in the next 10 picks, he needs to come back! With a Big-Ol chip on his shoulders!

I’m so mad man. You don’t even know. Chaim Bloom is just stocking high school infielders. He hasn’t gotten a single player in the draft in recent years with an actual ability to “help now”. We might as well sell this deadline with how bad we’ve been playing cause our farm system has been built for 5 years from now.

Get it together, Boston has the next pick.

Screw the Dodgers. That’s all.

He still has leverage next year too, just my opinion but his shoulder soreness may have scared some teams and coming back for a full season might be necessary to improve his draft stock

I can agree with you on that.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

WHAT ARE WE DOING!?!?! ANOTHER SS!?!?!

 

[Vtonerider]

Beck can hit a lot of dongs in Denver.

I hear that can lead to monkey pox!

I was thinking the same thing. If he shows he can go another full season unscathed, like his Freshman season, then he would be a top 20 pick.

I hear Bloom is a big Yankees fan....

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kill me.

Yep. And having personally played in the minors for over 5 years I can attest........Boys, THERE IS NO HURRY TO GET THERE!!! Minors suck. Get your best money or stay in school.

Y’all will eventually get one right

 

[TN_gal]

Congrats to Jordan!

 

[TheBigOne10]

Mookie having a good time tonight!

 

[VolPack22]

Mookie having a good time tonight!

This is his reward for winning Pick ‘Em

 

[NorCalVol67]

This is his reward for winning Pick ‘Em

And for being a Sox fan

very well said and that’s why Reggie may very well be a Vol next year……..lots of guys need to take the money and go but some have the ability to double or triple thier singing bonus

Can never have enough SS!

 

[OldTimer]

This is his reward for winning Pick ‘Em

He sold his soul for the Pick’em championship and now its time to pay the devil his dues

 

[VolPack22]

That is a nice pick for a Baltimore team that is all the sudden making an unexpected surge.

 

[OldTimer]

Really surprised Ivan lasted this long

 

[Sam I Am]

Ivan Melendez at #42 is a STEAL ! Diamondbacks having the best draft so far.
