MLB Draft Day Two Thread

A few guys I’ve got my eye on include:
Jorge Lopez – RHP
Josh Osich – LHP
Alex Dickerson – OF
and my personal favorite Grandon Goetzman

Still a lot of talent on the board. I don’t see us taking any overly expensive players today like Norris, Susac, Hedges, Delmonico, Tilson or Howard.

Can’t we listen to the draft? Can’t find a link for it.

They just put it up.

Just wanted to listen for the our 2nd round pick and then I’ll probably just follow the tracker. Thanks for your coverage by the way, look forward to more of it today.

Taking a shot on Josh Bell. That will be fun to watch develop.

There you go DBacks!!!

the Dbacks having a 10 man rotation in the future.

I liked the limited scouting reports on him

still wish we had the money to buy out Daniel Norris….

sadness

seems like an interesting guy

think we’ll try to rush him through the minors as a reliever?

Meo faced off against UConn’s Matt Barnes last weekend in the NCAA regionals. Stat lines:

Meo – 6.1 IP, 9 H, 1 ER, 2BB, 9K
Barnes – 4.1 IP, 9 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, 6 K

Edge Meo.

we get Dickerson or Gaedele with this next pick.

Got anything on this guy?

A sturdy 6-foot-1, 195 pounds, outfielder Justin Bianco is a Pittsburgh signee with solid tools across the board. While nothing jumps out, scouts like his present strength and think he is not yet physically mature. He’s a solid-average runner, and scouts also like the way he plays the game.

four legit prospects from this draft…..Bauer, Bradley, Chafin, Meo. four arms, but that just means lots of tradeable chips in the future.

goes to an NL West team not named the D-Backs.

Just went to Toronto. Hope he gets healthy. Good arm.

Bianco mentioned some in this article in which he went 3 for 4 in a key game.

1. Bauer

3. Goldschmidt
4. Skaggs
5. Bradley
6. Davidson
7. Owings
8. Borchering
9. Pollock
10. Chafin
11. Cowgill
12. Eaton
13. Linton
14. Mateo
15. Corbin
16. Meo
17. Wheeler
18. Holmberg
19. Green
20. Brewer

don’t realize how stacked the system is until it is put into perspective.

do you guys think we’ll go catcher now or later.

More gas!!

He began last season in Kansas State’s rotation, but his stuff has played up significantly this year when he has come out of the bullpen. After pitching in the high 80s as a starter, he has worked at 93-94 mph while teaming with James Allen to give the Wildcats the best bullpen tandem in the Big 12 Conference. His hard slider gives him a second plus pitch, and his lack of a reliable changeup isn’t a handicap as a reliever. Marshall isn’t big at 6-foot-1 and 207 pounds, and he throws with some effort, often flying open in his delivery. He still throws strikes, and he has a loose, resilient arm that has allowed him to top out at 96 mph even when used on consecutive days. He profiles more as a set-up man than a closer but should get to the majors quickly.

I wouldn’t minding seeing a lefty or two. I can;t remember the last time the Dbacks had a couple of reliable lefties in their pen, as opposed to every team we play against.

that you guys would like to see us take here?

That Towers was referring to Bauer as “Bundy” in the press conference.

I think you’ve made your point about the pitching. It’s not like the Org doesn’t have any pitching in the minors. Some attention to other needs wouldn’t be the worst idea I’ve ever heard.

I think they drafted Perez as a catcher, not a RHP.

Another pitcher.

Winkler. Love what the Dbacks have done all draft.

It was fun. See you down the road.
