OT: Raise the Jolly Roger: Dull days of July

[DJ Spinoza]

I would guess Condon goes to Colorado and then it's an open question which bat goes to Oakland. I doubt they take Caglianone so it comes down to Chicago taking a prep bat or not as to whether he might slip.

Colorado could take Caglianone but I doubt they expected to have a chance at Condon.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Not confirmed yet but Longenhagen says he has a source saying Kurtz could go to Oakland. That would be very good for Cags potentially slipping, because it seems certain that Wetherholt will go somewhere between 5-8, and there's also Smith, the two prep guys, and Montgomery. Plus the always-there potential of Kansas City or LA taking someone nowhere near the range of their pick in every mock.

 

[ImporterExporter]

There goes Kurtz.

Come on Cags!!!

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Longenhagen says Smith will go 5th.

So Cags, Montgomery, Wetherholt, both prep players all there for picks 6-9.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Wetherholt would be amazing, especially with the area ties. But Cags is my want now.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

not being able to trade up is f***ing clown shoes.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Longenhagen just said he has multiple sources saying Cags to KC, which isn't surprising.

I hope Montgomery gets to our pick. We need St. Louis to go prep I think.

These clowns would trade back for $10.

I really don't understand why MLB doesn't allow trades in the draft. It would make things much more interesting.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

I'm hearing Wetherholt to St. Louis. If so, then we need LA to take a prep player in order for us to have a shot at Montgomery, unless LA wants pitching with Yesavage.

I think we could end up with Rainer or Griffin and that would be a totally fine result, but Montgomery would feel like a gift.

Because muh tradition.

 

[OnMyOwn]

Son of a bitch.

Because muh tradition.

Yea drafts need to include trades. It’s stupid that it doesn’t. Would benefit the pirates immensely.

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Leon Sandcastle and Jerry Ricecake are still on the board, they'd be great selections.

 

[Factorial]

When it's Block and Young, it's like listening to paint dry.

I don't mind Block as a change from the endless water carrying of Brown, but Young will put you to sleep.

 

[DJ Spinoza]

Eric says Christian Moore to LAA, which would allow us the choice between both prep bats and Montgomery.

I'm really hoping we go Montgomery. There's decent floor and still big power upside with him.

 

[ImporterExporter]

DJ, don't tip our pick of you don't mind. Thanks!

 

[OnMyOwn]

I don’t see why we’d go prep anything in round 1 when the window is the next 3-4 seasons basically. Unless you plan on trading the guy.

A college bat is my preference.

 

[WickedWrister]

Damn, I hate a local kid going to STL

 

[Ulf5]

DJ, SPILL THE BEANS!!!!

I still think Keller is traded in 2 seasons so they could extend the window so prep is possible

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Pirates gonna take Pooie Poopy Butthole Pooper Pooerson.

 

[WickedWrister]

Konnor Griffin

 

[OnMyOwn]

Eh. Whatever I guess. I just don’t see the reason behind a prep guy.

 

[ImporterExporter]

Griffin. Huge upside. Low floor.

 

[Ulf5]

A mf'in middle infielder? Are you kidding me?
