If Andrew Susac is available at 43
would it be good idea to draft him?
I survived the 2004 & 2010 seasons.
Goldschmidt is AWESOME
or Hedges
i don’t know enough about them, but they are expected to stick at C from a defensive standpoint. the offense has always been the question.
it’s hard to tell with catchers (offense-wise) until you see them in pro ball imo.
Probably
I’d be shocked if we don’t take a C at 43 if either of those two guys (Susac and Hedges) are available. They’ve said that they want to add catching depth, and that’d be an awesome way to do it.

they do have a lot of question marks
but after Susac and Hedges, the catcher ranks start looking really ugly…
McCann would be a reach
I wouldn’t be horrified, but I’d prefer to just wait to the second round on someone like him.
In fact, given the way things are shaking up around here, waiting for McCann in round 2 sounds very enticing.

why not BPA?
we just added a C at AAA, seems like there’s always “somebody” moving teams to latch on at the C position.
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
it's entirely possible Susac/Hedges
would be BPA when we pick

No C in the system

The Mariners draft day thread is hilarious
In all fairness these are well trained and grizzled scouts. If they take Hultzen over Rendon and Bauer then they most feel very strongly.
they could always point to the Giants
and say …. “at least we didn’t go into a draft Panik mode”
I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
there is nothing wrong with taking Hultzen over Rendon/Bauer
by blue bulldog on Jun 6, 2011 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions
Rendon is a 20-30 guy and Bauer just looks disgusting
If Hultzen is a Cole Hamels type guy, then that is Awesome. Pineda, Felix, and Hultzen…yea that’s pretty damn good. I just think Bauer will be better and It’s hard for hitters to go to Seattle.
I hate to sound like a noob.. but
What’s your guy’s opinion on our picks? Ima huge Dback fan (since it was the BOB) but I never got into the draft.. I know we covered some needs at pitcher but the guys we got.. are they good? great? steals?? any input??
Love 'em
It’s a good day to be a D-backs fan. Particularly since the rest of the NL West hasn’t had a shining Day 1 of the draft.

Bell, Norris, Story

A pizza would be good,
but we’ve already got good pizza depth in our farm system. If not a ham sandwich, they have to go cream cheese bagel, cuz our cream cheese bagel depth is atrocious at every level.

i disagree
most likely he’ll be stashed in AAA in 2012. we’ll leet Enright or Collmenter start. and if they struggle early, we’ll see Bauer in the majors in May or June. maybe try to avoid the clock (assuming that’s an issue under the next CBA)

sometimes i feel bad when stuff like that happens
but he’s been given a lot of time to put it together and stay consistent
problem is he can’t stay consistent, and that’s gonna hurt him as a starter.
maybe convert him into a power lefty reliever?

Norris must be falling due to signability
we’ve got options though….
Norris? Story? Jackie Bradley? Hedges?
it’s possible they are all available
if we didn't sign a single player other than 3 and 7

It'll be Story or a catcher

And Dwight Smith
Do baseball players ever name their sons something different than their own name?
Bad doormat! No stock options!
No
its against Player Association rules.

Rays
are now picking guys that won’t break the bank. Case of having too many picks.
Wow, Rays just went super signability
Too many picks is actually proving to be a problem for them, they’re having to reach for guys who will go below slot…….

Wow, the MLB Network guys
Love the former big-leaguer Jr.’s… probably a bit too much…

thx
Gorgon is the guy they gave up to get one of these extra picks. Wonder if they like the move in retrospect?
by Counsellmember on Jun 6, 2011 10:54 PM EDT up reply actions
Not sure
These guys aren’t great prospects, but Gorgen’s TJ really derailed his value, too. Probably a wash…

you think?
Does TJ really make such a knock on a prospect’s value? How would you say it’s hurt Parker? Not just delayed his development? We shouyld have him in an extra prime year…I wont make that one a question.
by Counsellmember on Jun 6, 2011 10:57 PM EDT up reply actions
It's a significant delay
And not everyone recovers. I’m more confident about Parker after the last couple of starts. Gorgen wasn’t a huge prospect even before the surgery as a reliever… his value was in the fact that he could have helped later this year before the injury.

Wow
This sandwich round is crazy. I almost 100% guarantee we get a catcher Round 2…

2nd Round
There’s going to be some awesome talent available for our next pick. What an amazing draft in terms of depth.
Sheesh
It’s like all pitchers have had Tommy John surgery at some point lol. Why don’t they just get the surgery before they get hurt now? Don’t waste the time of waiting for it.

Jays
Doing the same thing as Tampa with so many picks.
I like Toronto's picks much more
Than I like Tampa’s picks. I liked the first two Rays picks, but they’ve gone cheap since.

Was excited............
but now I’m not. Bauer is a risk due to work load, Bradley was NOT the best high school arm available at #7 and we are already have better left handed prospects better than Chafin (Skaggs, Holmerg, Schuster). We need catching and middle infielders!!!!
No need to draft for need
We’ve made three awesome picks today.

Two straight years.........
of pitching prospects. Not like we’re loaded with bats and postion players. If nothing else we’re stock piling arms for future trades.
Yeah...
It’s hard to see where the Bradley/Rowland/Holmberg/Brewer/Corbin tier stand at this point. We’ll obviously deal with the problem when it becomes a problem (if it becomes a problem), but it’ll be very interesting to see how this system’s prospects percolate into the upper reaches of the system over the next couple years.

passing on rendon and starling is not something i would have done.
hopefully it works out.

same with story

disagree with this
Bradley is definitely the best high school arm available at #7
who would you rather have? Guerrieri? the kid came out of nowhere….what if he ends up just losing his stuff randomly? tons of high school draft prospects end up just being one year wonders
at least Bradley has the pedigree of success (two straight years considered a premier prep talent). and scouts definitely think his stuff is as good, if not better than Guerrieri’s.

And there's the end of the Supp Round.
Plenty of good talent available for tomorrow, but for now I’m off to write reports!

Hmmm
1st place by way of sitting idle, that’s better than a balk-off win.

I suddenly love Mike Morse
he knocks us out of first then puts us back in
MCC flipping their lids at our draft picks.
I LOVE IT. “Snakes loading up with arms.” “Gulp” “F—-, the one guy I didn’t want them to take.(Bauer)” Get used to it GIANTS, IT’S COMING.

they have no idea
how much we desperately hope Bauer becomes the next Lincecum….and does to the Giants what Timmeh has tortured us with the past four years……
by blue bulldog on Jun 7, 2011 10:13 AM EDT up reply actions
Timmeh has morphed from a very eccentric hard thrower
to a seasoned number one pitcher with the full arsenal. He doesn’t need to throw 96 all the time anymore. He worked with Roger Craig during a period of time last season when he was struggling, and Craig corrected his grip and the kinds of pressure he was applying to the ball, making him even better. Hopefully, with Bauer, the D’Backs will train him to be able to get hitters out consistently without burning his arm out. If they can do that, he’s going to be a Giants nemesis for a long time to come.
