2021 MLB Draft Day 1 Thread


Jack Parkman

Recommended Posts

It's kinda nice discussing a 22nd pick in the draft, let's pick later next year.

The last time the Sox chose an athletic SS late in the 1st round worked out well....you can see him at Coors Field in a couple days.

Going in to the second round would love to see any of the following three make there way to the sox: Solometo, Stovall or Kath in that order and if all three of them get snatched up before they pick it would be refreshing to see the org target someone like Jaden Hill.

Few quick thoughts:

I love that the Pirates fucked up the first pick.

I love the Rangers got their first pick right

God damn did the Tigers do the 3rd pick right. That dude may blow out but he also might be the best right handed pitcher for 10 freakin years.

I hate when the Orioles pick players I like.

I don't think Jordan Lawlar is gonna hit.

Dayton Moore has balls of steel.

Sam Bachman is the perfct Angels pick.

I'm pissed the Mets bailed out Kumar Rocker. I was hoping that turd would go in the 20's

The Nats got the steal of the draft with Brady House at 11.

 Joe Mack and Chase Petty make a cute couple.

Wow, wild card to start off the draft.

Davis was my top bat by far in this class, and my personal favorite prospect

I went into the spring with hopes we'd have a shot at him

Can't wait to follow

Booing Manfred at the draft? Tough crowd. Probably all idiots.

All doing what I, and the majority of MLB fans, can't do from the couch

Looks like him and Chandler will be Clemson bound

Sox really like Madden too. He may be their pick regardless.

Decent chance I would have preferred him to Montgomery

Mlb network with a top grade production.

 

Nothing like having ymca blaring over the interview 

MLB Network needs a total and complete revamp, what an awful platform

Nice. Really like Montgomery. Going to be a fun follow. 2nd round should be fun.

Still wonder if there was a play that HS kids will be more affordable with all of the ncaa turmoil and college players less so with extra avail this year.

Who are we eying tomorrow? I wouldn't mind a gamble on Hill from LSU

if we get Montgomery and Petty I'm thrilled

Would have loved Petty if that rumor was true, typical Twins

Nick Swisher makes a cameo… the douchebag.

Toughest athlete I've had to root for

Just curious why you guys love Montgomery so much? Law has him at 56...

Been wondering the same thing, I know this forum in YUGE on him

I know nothing here other than reading the profile, but a 19 year old playing Midwestern high school ball doesn't excite me. 

He'll be 20 on Opening Day next year, not very HS-ish...Hopefully works out

So is Petty still in play for 2nd round?

Twins spoiled that

I can't believe an EIU guy went in the first round. 

Wild, just me or this class isn't very good?

Endless raw HS infielders

Tigers got Ty Madden. Really good value for them at 32 when he was projected for top 15. 

Another steal, DET should have an awesome rotation

Would love Hill, can't wait to see what happens

Tigers’ fans apparently wanted a SS like Mayer instead…some meathead takes that often look ridiculous on both side of the ledger five years down the line.

Tigers definitely going all in on the pitching front…but with only Candelario, Torkelson and Greene, they’re going to have to spend on hitting in FA.

Hawkins was also ranked right around where the Sox picked him. 

The Sox did pretty well under Hostetler. It remains to be seen about Shirley. 

I wish the Kanny arms were doing better. Missing 2020 hurt Thompson and Dalquist imo. 

 

Jack, we don't know that.  They might have been even worse with a full 2020 season.

Henry Davis get 6.5 mil as pick #1

 

Mentioned this in the other thread but the savings with Davis and Mozzicato for the Royals we’re virtually the same , and yes the pirates had more money in their remaining slots, but they added 4 first round talents compared to the Royals who really just got one? Hard to see how Royals couldn’t have had a similar draft than what they had without the discount.
