Bro, the main University of Texas campus is in AUSTIN. Bundy would be in Austin next year if he goes to college. You're confusing it with Arlington.

Austin is one of the coolest cities in America, btw.

Awesome. Your still 100% wrong

Um, why? As i said, Zimmerman is only signed thru 2013. Rendon likely waits til August to sign, goes to the minors next year. Doesn't break in til 2013 when Zimmerman could be trade bait.

VERY ballsy pick....gonna cost over $5M. Though as a 2-sport guy, can spread it out.

by **JP_Frost** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:42 pm

It sure does. Man this sucks. 10 minutes ago I thought we'd have a choice between Rendon and Archie.

by **Tondo** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:44 pm

Please no Lindor...let's not go stupid here please...I'd be ok with HS RHP Guerrieri too

by **GeronimoSon** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:45 pm

Not for nothing.. but the Indians batting order tonight.. looks pretty good.. now if the Tomlin-ator can hang in there.. we could get a much needed W...

by **Tondo** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:46 pm

LINDOR IT IS! THANK YOU, GOD!!

by **GeronimoSon** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:47 pm

Lindor.. not who I wanted... :dunno:

He's not the BPA. he's about three shy of that.. the Indians may have a Jose Reyes Lite...

by **Hermie13** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:48 pm

LIIIIIINDOR

by **entertheshoe** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:48 pm

Francisco!!

by **Tondo** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:48 pm

So stupid....so freaking stupid...sorry for the rant, but that's outsmarting 101. We will regret this pick big time...a 17yo MIF? Really? Feel lucky today Grant? So moronic...

by **Rocky55** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:49 pm

I'd have taken Baez.

by **ClevBuck** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:50 pm

Pretty bad pick
Not much offensiv upside if any
I thought we did our Homework this year and wouldn't be afraid to spend in the 1st

by **homerawayfromhome** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:50 pm

Disappointed they didn't get Archie Bradley.
Francisco Lindor is a great consolation prize.

by **GeronimoSon** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:50 pm

Lindor may be the "best SS" in the draft.. but he won't be commanding a huge signing bonus.. the Indians will be able to offer him slot value, and not a penny more.. With this, the later rounds should be a LOT more aggressive.. At least that's the plan and they're sticking to it..

Yes?

by **JP_Frost** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:51 pm

not a fan of this pick. His bat is questionable, especially his power. I'd have gone with Baez as well.

Don't think he'll be as easy as some are making it out to be, but dont' think you'll be spending more an arm and a leg

by **danh8** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:53 pm

Very happy with pick given the players taken off the board before our pick. He's average to plus in most cataegories for the SS position, and he's a guy that's almost a lock to remain at SS. He fits an organization need for sure with ACab likely gone in a few years, as well.

Having scouted both Baez and Lindor thoroughly, the Indians believe, obviously, that Lindor is the best pure SS out there, and I agree...

So, when do we pick Burch ?

by **OhioBaseball** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:54 pm

Great, a middle infielder with no power or speed. Hope to God this guy isn't the second coming of Alex Cora.

Would not be overly disappointed if the Indians let this kid go to college and get the early pick next year.

Interesting to see Lindor and Baez go back to back.

by **Tondo** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:54 pm

What makes it worse...we have to waste more $ for Lindor than a College arm, shortening our budget already...wow, talk about WORST case scenario happening. I'm pretty disappointed....once signed Lindor can join Wolters and they can hit .600 OPS in MV and do the same in LC next season...and they'll still be in Tony's Top10, dropping steadily, like EVERY "high ceiling" bat in our system did in the last 10 years

Yes.. that was the question.. someone to spend on other than lindor..so you don't know.. or don't want to share or.. what?

He has speed and power. Not 80 power, but he's been compared to Rollins at this age by scouts. Won't hit for that much power but a 15 HR/20 SB guy is very realistic. Think Jeter, but with defense :drinks:

by **jellis** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:56 pm

Lindor bat is legit, he might lack power but his bat should be a plus skill. I think he could be a better Asdrubal
