That Kyler Murray pick by Oakland is really interesting.

If they're able to convince him to go away from college football with a big signing bonus, could be quite the coup for them.

lol the Padres plan was hoping to get Murray later on so they selected some fat kid with a 91 mph fastball for underslot money and now they just have a bad 1st round draft pick

Hooray, we got Mize

Please make sure we don't let him walk or trade him in 5 years. Like Verlander. Or Porcello. Or Scherzer. Or God dammit we spent all that money on Ian Kinsler

Why the hell is Tyler Austin still on the roster? The guy does nothing but strike out every damn at bat.

Royals pick Brady Singer. I guess Dayton couldn't resist him dropping. I would have preferred a position player like Gorman (that Cardinals got just now), but I don't mind.

White Sox already gave up on Tim Anderson? Lol
I mean, the kid drafted today will likely be a few years away.
at that point if moncada and anderson are still doing well and the kid pans out they could just trade one of them for a need and use the kid.

or if one of those two get hurt ect.

it doesn't hurt to have depth.

All four of Royals' first round picks are college pitchers. Not the way I would have gone, even with one or two being steals, since I would prefer to draft bats first and try and get some pitchers that were/are dropping. Pitching is the main problem in the lower parts of the Royals system since there's Pratto, Melendez and Matias in the low minors far as batters go that are doing very well. I still think the Royals should have gotten some hitters.

Liberatore and Singer both dropping 11 spots probably is meaningful
most likely.
usually you only see that if there are signing or mechanic concerns.

though to be fair I know that happened with Chris Sale, whom people feared would injure himself with his odd delivery which allowed the white sox to get him. So it's not like those always turn out to be bad things.

This game of base ball between the Padres and Braves has been quite entertaining

EDIT: Barves baseball is back, if only for one night. Nats hangover and long flight catching up with them I guess.

huh. I knew the white sox were running more this year. I didn't realize they were leading the majors in stolen bases though.
