Official 2019 Draft thread

VOLPE just went to the Yankees!!!!!!!!! Haaaaaaahahaha!! Don't know why everyone loves his bat? He's baseball smart, but he's slow and is more of a 2nd baseman

Eh, so many other guys that I love.

was gonna post that i read Cashman liked him, interesting they actually did it...

Astros took Korey Lee??????? Ranked 119!!!! Wtf!??? Pffffft Reach!!!!!!!

Yeah Misner is only hitting .222 right now.

Nasim Nunez is the only guy I like in there. Slick fielder, FASSST, great tools, little pop, not much though.

Nasim Nunez #51(his earring is bigger than his head):
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 30 | Run: 65 | Arm: 60 | Field: 60 | Overall: 50

If all goes according to plan for Clemson, the Tigers will replace one potential first-round pick at shortstop (Logan Davidson) with another in Nunez. The only question is whether Nunez will make it there because he might be the best defensive shortstop in the 2019 Draft. If he convinces pro teams he can produce at the plate, they probably won't let him make it to college.

A fast-twitch athlete, Nunez has Gold Glove upside at shortstop and is a slam dunk to stay at the position. He has smooth actions, quick hands and feet and the arm to make any throw from any angle. In the event that he doesn't hit enough to be an everyday player in the big leagues, he has the tools to play anywhere on the diamond in a utility role.

Because Nunez is one of the smallest premium prospects in the Draft at 5-foot-9 and 155 pounds, he comes with concerns about how much impact he'll have at the plate. He offers little in the way of power, though he's a well above-average runner who's aggressive on the bases. A contact-oriented switch-hitter, he has a better swing from the right side of the plate.

I mean Volpe is a decent prospect, I just dont have him going until the Mid 2nd rd. There are a bunch of players that you could select before going Volpe. He might have fallen into the 3rd rd. He has a $3 million tag to break his commitment to Vanderbilt.

I had to flip through pages before I could find anything on Lee!!! C Ethan Hearns???!!!!!!

Arizona coming up with back to back picks. Hopefully they announce them both together

It looks like he has some potential.

For the 2nd round pick, I hope they go high risk, high reward.

That would be Kameron Misner!!!! Dripping with Tools!!! He oozes TONS of High Reward.If he finds his hit tool his comp is literally Mitch Haniger. I've scoured dozens of reports in search of anyone other than a comp Mariner, and I cant find anything except one name, and Haniger keeps popping up, soooooo .....

Yeah.

Hoping you are right.

I was looking at his ranking. It seems that the Yankees were enamored with him.

I have him ranked late in the 1st rd. So the fact that he's still on the board is somewhat surprising to me. No doubt his .222 batting average has frightened some this year.

Probably just to prevent Seattle from getting him. Draft block strategy.

Our Nope to Volpe campaign worked. Which means either he'll be an All-Star for NY or M's will get fleeced in a trade for him down the road.
