GDT: 2020 MLB Draft

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

I don't see the Phil's passing up Abel here

 

[Deen]

Groshans at 2B, Martin to the OF.

Yeah, we got flexibility.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Cubs, take Mitchell

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Howard.

Another SS

 

[Canada4Gold]

Groshans at 2B, Martin to the OF.

I would say Vlad to 1st, Biggio staying at 2nd, and Groshans at 3rd is probably more likely. But yeah there are a few options.

 

[BSHH]

Did the Red Sox wanted Tork as well and had their pick changed by autocorrect? That seemed strange...

I wish the Cubs took Bryce Jarvis.

Pretty happy with the Martin pick as a Jays fan. I mean how could you not?

I don’t think people see Vlad as a long term 3B so this gives really good depth and flexibility on the infield.

Still need to hit on some of our young pitching and in a year or two sign some outfielders because our top end talent and depth there are just brutal. But it’s the outfield and theoretically that’s exactly where you should be able to find players in FA, trades or convert from other positions.

I would expect Martin to be the long term option in CF.

I think Martin settles in as a CF unless he proves capable at SS.

Pearson and Ryu can be a solid duo of aces in years 3 and 4 of Ryu’s deal and along with the bats they have the makings of potentially their best roster since 93.

2020 MLB Draft: Best available players for Round 2, including LSU's Daniel Cabrera and Miami's Chris McMahon

 

[darko]

Jays infield becomes even more loaded with Martin joining the mix.

I can see both Vlad and Martin in the outfield.

 

[Deen]

I can see both Vlad and Martin in the outfield.

Vlad in the outfield? Surely you jest.

 

[grentthealien]

Any thought the Red Sox picking 17 year old Blaze Jordan? I remember him getting a bit of hype the last few years.

Jays sound like they got a good player. But I am a little skeptic on Boras?? lol

Vlad I see as eventual DH. I think his bat would blossom more. Jays be better off.

I would expect Martin to be the long term option in CF.

I'm thinking the same thing that Martin probably becomes that elusive center fielder. The depth that's being built in Toronto is impressive. The issue will be whether they can keep everyone once they all hit their prime or if they become a future Cleveland and just keep dealing everyone away once they reach a point where they know they're going to make big bucks.

 

[darko]

One of the worst defenders in baseball at a somewhat premium defensive position. He'd be easier to hide at LF. Or even 1B.

 

[punk_o_holic]

Has Martin signed? If people had him at 2nd overall and decided to go back to university and enter the draft next year, would he go higher or lower than 5? Would it be very dumb of him to reenter since the Jays will probably offer him a fair offer/the outlook of the team looks solid?

As for me, being an Astros fan, I'm excited about Alex Santos. Said he's leaning towards signing. So potentially from a Yankees fan to a Astros prospect.

Vlad in left would be a pure disaster. 1B or DH make a lot of sense though.

It would be very dumb to return to school.

This. Vlad can’t run. I mean he can but he’s like a Mac truck that takes time to build up to top speed. He’d be a nightmare in the outfield. 1B or DH all the way

[Memento]

I love the Cardinals draft, and it looks like they'll sign all of their prospects (all have signed except for Bedell). Three excellent high-schoolers with high upside, while risky, will be excellent if even one of them pans out. They then took solid, safe picks that signed low slot (except for Bedell, who could've easily gone top two because of his pitchability, and we apparently have an agreement with him).

We also signed eight undrafted free agents to add to the seven we drafted.

All in all, it's good to be a Cards fan!

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

So far

Winners- Tigers, Jay's

Losers- White Sox, Orioles

LOL

Garrett Crochet looks absolutely fantastic for White Sox right now coming out of pen

4 games thus far (Counting tonight) with 5 K's and only 1 hit allowed in 4 IP

This kid has a hell of an arm

Could be Sale 2.0
