I dont know much about this draft but I could have sworn Buxton was gonna go #1. All the mock drafts had him at #1. what happen here.

Astros fukked around went with the late rising, mega talented Puerto Rican SS..........fukked up EVERYONE's mock.

I had the right idea with them going ceiling over Appel....but NO ONE had that

I don't know what to think about the Mets picks at all especially the second. Hopefully we see some magic in who they sign tomorrow.

I dont rock with the draft but the Astros did some sh!t like that 20 years ago. I read how this scout quit because he wanted them to take Jeter and they didnt.. Deja VU 20 years later. This Correa kid aint 17...he is probably like 20 you know how it be with the age thing smh at Appel falling to #8. Buxton is gonna be good

Puerto Rico is not the Dominican Republic.

Appel turned down the Pirates media conference and Boras released a statement from him that pretty much says he's going back to school.

That means the Pirates would have two first round picks next year right? With the one as compensation being around where?

Wherever the pick was this year in a much better draft Pirates finally playing chess not checkers

I'm guessing that'll be two top 10 picks possibly? Kinda indeed.

Appel probably pissed because he was hoping to go #1 or #2.

I read something saying that there is talk that the Blue Jays pick at 22, Marcus Stroman, is more or less major league ready and could be with the big league club this year.

Anyone have any info on this dude?
