f***ing hell, I'd rather of had Hansen/Hochevar/Carillo. I hope to hell this works out. Broadway has pitched exceptionally well against some of the better teams in college baseball as of late.

 

I just don't like drafting guys in the 1st round without a decent fastball. He has a hell of a curve though and seems to paint the zone which is a sign of a fast riser.

 

I'm guessing it will be a very very quick sign (ie by the end of the week).

The thing is with having only 1 pick in the first two plus rounds, we HAVE to make sure they are signable.  This was the smart move.

 

As always, Big Mike is the voice of reason. Great call big guy and something I completely neglected.

 

Welcome aboard Lance!!! Let the debate begin.

Rangers won't take a Boras guy so the Cubs are gonna nab Hochevar, imo. They could go with Hansen too.

 

Man Boras is having a major effect on those two. I'm now thinking Tyler Greene will be there in the 3rd round after seeing whats happened with the rest of the guys.

 

Carillo just went off the board, very good move by the Pads.

Cubs pass on Hochevar and take Pawlek. He was the top rated high school pitcher.

 

Interesting on how much Boras' clients are sliding. You know the Yanks will snag them. Heck, the BoSox could get agressive in this draft and end up with two really good guys with there picks.

Drafting pitchers without a decent fastball should come as no suprise.

 

It must be written somewhere only Minnesota, Oakland, and Cubs draft pitchers with live arms. These players are always available for these organizations to swoop in and draft.
