For those interested, the MLB Draft is tonight. MLBN/ESPN coverage starts soon at 7.
It's something at least.

Sounds like that 1st baseman the tigers took is the real deal at the plate.
Crazy they cut the draft from 40 rounds to just 5 this year.
That’s like Hockey basically only doing 1 round.

Haha, it's definitely awkward. I feel bad for the prospects, they cut the $$$ for anyone not drafted too. $20K as opposed to 100K+ or something like that.
COVID-19 sucks.
The Mets are coming up next as I post this...

Mets take the kid of the actress who played the mom in the movie Little Big League - Pete Crow-Armstrong. Comes out a quality HS program and a legit plus CF. Might not hit for much power, but can do a lot. I like it.

My Yankees take Austin Wells, a C from University of Arizona. Sweet lefty swing with plus power. May not stick behind the plate, but this dude can rake. Walks more than he strikes out, that's great for a power hitter. His bat is made for Yankee Stadium.
The Yanks drafted him in the 35th round before so they know him well. Draft eligible sophomore so he has some leverage, but he should be an easy sign. A sweet lefty bat is much needed with all the righty's. If he sticks at C or can play 1st, he could be ready sooner rather than later.

could be the first baseman of the future. Everything I’m reading on him there’s a lot to like. Strong Lefty bat and bat speed will play really well in Yankee stadium.
Don’t know much about him but The Red Sox took a kind that supposedly was projected as a 3rd round pick.

It reminds me a little of Greg Bird. Bird was a C and then moved to 1st, but he had that sweet lefty bat. Hopefully Wells isn't made of glass like Bird is. The Yanks are so RH heavy, a LH that projects to be a middle of the order bat is big. If he can stick at C, watch out. Should be a good fit, I love that there isn't much swing and miss with him. He takes walks and that's not a bad thing with the boppers the Yanks have.

I had so much hope for Bird but his issue was just staying healthy. Such a shame.

Having a summer without the Mets causing crippling depression has been a life changing experience

Now you get a summer of the Islanders and Mets causing crippling depression at the SAME EXACT TIME potentially.

Shocker. Yankees in another cheating scandal. Where are all the self righteous yankee fans today?

It is not secret that every team steals signs to a certain extent. If the Yankees were putting damn cameras in the outfield like Houston was I will condemn them for it. That being said as of now it is still clear as day that what the Astros did is much different than what the Red Sox or rest of the league has done.
Let's make one thing very clear though. Stealing signs does not change the fact that both the Astros and the Yankees have drafted incredibly well.
Drafting well and willing to spend in free agency equals success in sports. Who would have guessed it?
As of now this post is jumping the gun a bit. What the Astros did was far and away worse than anything that has happened in regards to sign stealing and that is why they were receiving more backlash than the Red Sox.

I want to know exactly what the Yankees did, but it sure seems to be cheating or they wouldn't be so upset about it.

That was my theory as well. Anyone who puts on pinstripes suddenly can hit 300?

You are a Mets fan right? Hopefully they get new ownership so I can watch the Yankees dismantle them in the playoffs.
I mean, hey maybe in a 50 game season the Mets will get lucky enough to make the playoffs again.

This was for the 2017 season, why even bring up Gio Urshela and Luke Voit? Man, Mets fans are bitter.
