2018 Draft Pick Discussion, Rounds 1-5 [7/5 -- 1st rounder Turang signs]

[KeithStone53151]

Does anyone know why these guys are falling did far? The run on position players is very interesting.

[Eye Black]

Sounds like Grayson Rodriguez might be off the board before those two (Singer and Liberatore).

[narwhalattack]

It'll be interesting to see if the Orioles draft pitching this time. Based on how Gausman and Bundy have fared... I'm not sure if they know what they're doing with their pitchers.

Toronto is taking high school 3B/SS Jordan Groshans at No. 12.

Do you have intel?

[Eye Black]

Orioles take Grayson Rodriguez, all of these pitchers are still available with 9 picks until Brewers selection...

 

Liberatore

Singer

Winn

Gilbert

McClanahan

Hankins

 

Wonder if 1-2 of those guys will make it through to the Brewers pick.

[narwhalattack]

Rodriguez to the O's and Groshans to Jays? Those two are getting picked considerably earlier than I thought they would.

[LouisEly]

The A's are insane if they let Murray play football.

Could be part of the negotiation strategy - they let him play football, in exchange they sign him for well under slot. If they have a deal in place for $4M, that's $800K they can use to sign other players. If they have a deal in place for less than $4M... that's not a terrible strategy, especially with the minimal difference in talent between this spot and the end of the 1st round.

[SRB]

I was hoping for Rodriguez to the Brewers, but if some of these other guys keep falling...

Do you have intel?

The picks are usually on Twitter and various chats before TV. I think last year we said we didn’t want that posted in this thread, but I don’t care either way.

I have a terrible feeling that the Brewers are gonna take Larnach in spite of some of these guys falling.

I’d prefer that folks don’t tip the picks. It’s like a spoiler. It’s bad form on message boards in football, but I’m not a moderator here. Just my opinion.

 

Guesses or speculation are different.

[Eye Black]

The Brewers are going to have a tough selection, there are going to be some really solid players available at #21. Concern will be what the financial number is for a lot of those guys that are falling.

I have had these feelings about just about every Brewer draft. A number of guys out there I want, but the Brewers always go and pick the one I don't. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

[JDBrewCrew]

Fine, I'll stop.

Good call, lets keep this thread clear of spoilers in the main messages.

 

Also, there is a spoiler button for those that want to share information that hasn’t been announced on the broadcast.

It's going to make it all the more daring for Stearns to take Beer.

Same here. Big time. I just have had a different view of handling the draft and what to do in the first. I think it may be turning now, though.

 

This year, I’d be floored if they really do something aggravating.

 

My opinion - don’t go cheap to try to get some extra good players in a later round. I’m not saying you never do that. I just wouldn’t do it this year. Every year and circumstance is different, and you shouldn’t just plug and chug the same theory every year.

[JDBrewCrew]

Another surprise for the Marlins pick.

[wallus]

I have nothing to add other than Sbnation's draft tracker called Kelenic's school Waukeshaw West HS (Wisc.)

[Warning Track Power]

If Singer, Liberatore, Winn, McClanahan, Kowar or Hankins are there, one of them have to be the pick don't they?

[JDBrewCrew]

Wow Gilbert over Sanger?

[narwhalattack]

If Singer, Liberatore, Winn, McClanahan, Kowar or Hankins are there, one of them have to be the pick don't they?

 

If there's one thing I learned from following the Brewers draft the past few years, it's that they certainly don't think like us.

Kyler is a ballsy pick that high! They must have agreement in place for money & option to play football.... his pro future is baseball but his heart wants to play football bad
