(Updated 8/2/2022) 2022 MLB Draft and Roster Management Discussion Thread

Way too much time in between picks.

Agreed. This feels almost slower than NFL Draft, which is hard to believe.

 

[butchna]

Holy moly ROCKER AT 3!

Boras owns the Rangers sac.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Kumar Rocker ain’t much of an interview. Man of very few words.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Wow. Cade Horton #7? Draft is getting a bit nuts.

 

[VolFanGBO]

bust

Didn’t see that at all.

 

[nashvillepanther]

We ran into Rocker in Farragut a few months ago

How did that go? He's pretty reserved in my limited interactions with him.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We’re supposed to get 80ish picks into 5 hours but it’s been an hour and 5 minutes and we’ve only gone through the first 8 picks. Let’s pick it up….

Insane. Recency bias is strong here. 18 months off of Tommy John and had one good weekend in Omaha. Era over 5 for the year.

Hope they paid him underslot. Feels like a big overreach at 7. Would not be shocked to see him bust.

Agreed. If Rocker is a semi-reach, this is an Incredibles reach.

Yeah, he was a nice kid, but definitely quiet

 

[TheMookieMonster]

LOL at them poking fun of Tony for not recruiting Gavin Cross who grew up a Vol fan.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Another small surprise. Don’t think I saw Hughes on any mocks for the first round. Not one.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Might have to Jack that Kevin Parada ball from my boy.

Seems like there is a lot of great talent instate.

My wife asked him if he knows the Tennessee players and he was like, uhhh I know of them

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Need someone to pick Jett Williams here soon as the Red Sox would likely take him at 24 if he fell that far. Come on, do me a solid and take all the not Drew Gilbert options off the board.

Lol. He's probably just guarded after being ridiculed since he was 12 on the summer circuit.

Or let him fall and he come back to TN lol
J/K that’s clearly not gonna happen

Jace Jung is comped for Rod Carew? Dang

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Dang it! We were so close to getting a Neto autograph too!!

 

[MAD]

What?
Can you use terms I can understand

 

[Volprofch05]

What?

They're saying a comparative (comp) for this dude who was just drafted is Rod Carew. That comp will be tough to live up to.
