GDT: 2018 MLB Draft

[JWK]

Guessing Kyler Murray is done with football

 

[BMOK33]

Amazing how few HS guys there are anymore. Used to be if you were any good at all you didn’t go to college and went right to the draft. It’s decinitely leading to shortended careers. Guys like Uggla Utley and Howard all were good but can you imagine if they didn’t go to college and came to the majors at 20 or 21? I mean Ryan Howard might have had a shot at the HR repxrd

 

[Terry Yake]

A's get their franchise QB

pretty surprised they passed over swaggerty but murray's having a pretty solid season at OU. highly doubt he'd pass up on that money and stick with football

Guessing Kyler Murray is done with football

Yup. Slot value is about $4.76M for 9th overall. He shouldn’t turn that down.

 

[JWK]

Just how much money is Liberatore demanding?

 

[Spoiled Bratt]

I know very little when it comes to prospects in baseball, so can someone give me some type of scouting report on Madrigal?

Thanks

Singer fell to KC at 18. Wow.

 

[JWK]

Future Cy Young winner, Ryan Rolison

Thought they would select Seigler.

 

[Deen]

Groshans looks super skinny. 6 foot 4 and 180 pounds. Better start eating your vitamins kid.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Kyler Murray is going 9. I wonder if he completely foregoes the football season this year for this.

I certainly hope he does. He has 4.8 million reasons to do so.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Reading up on the guy White Sox took

I am fine with selection

 

[JWK]

Future Cy Young winner, Ryan Rolison

I take this back, he didn't follow the #1 rule of twitter: Never tweet

Oof

Royals having a nice draft

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Jays added yet another son of an accomplished MLB player.

 

[Canes]

Wrong thread

 

[DougieSmash]

When you choose Grayson Rodriguez over Brady Singer, Matthew Liberatore, Cole Winn and Shane McClanahan... terrible.

 

[Terry Yake]

apparently murray says he's still going to play football in the fall

pretty stupid decision if he actually goes through with it. he's not going to the NFL with his size and he's going to risk injury while leaving millions of dollars on the table

what an idiot

If I were him, I might consider to make such a statement just to ensure that I get as much money from Oakland as possible. We'll see what he does. Detroit's Matt Manning gave up on basketball for $ 3.5m, by the way.

The draft should be in December

Doesn't make sense.

 

[darko]

McClanahan and Liberatore. If Tampa can sign both they made out like bandits.

 

[Memento]

Very happy that the Cardinals drafted Gorman. He's the exact power bat that we haven't had at first Scott Rolen. Granted, Rolen is a borderline HOFer and one of the best defensive third basemen who played, but Gorman's bat is similar, and I think he can stick at third.

It sounds like the A's have a deal with him and he'll just play ball in the fall and then head to the A's afterwards. That's fine. Let him enjoy himself at OU.

Wait, I thought he had to sign the baseball contract now since he wasn’t a senior at Oklahoma last year? I’m probably wrong, but I thought that was the rule.

Him signing a baseball contract has no influence on his football eligibility. Kyle Parker and Russell Wilson were active MiLB players while also being starting QBs in the NCAA.

that sounds great and all until he suffers a career ending knee injury

Which I'm sure the A's used to leverage a considerable amount of money out of him.
