Hultzen's big velo jump is supicious. Glad I'm not an M's fan.

And just like that, pretty much all of the mocks are made a mockery of.

by **jellis** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:17 pm

Bauer is reported to be next rendon slide is on

by **Tondo** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:18 pm

Early curveball but I like it....now what if.....Rendon is there at 8? Gotta buy the bat, right? Medical scare? Power scare?

Can't see the O's pass him up.

Yeah, position player to the M's was the surest thing in the draft, other than the Tribe going college pitcher.

IF he's there, you HAVE to pull the trigger .. no questions asked.

Runs in specific positions can make a difference.. doubt it happens by # 8.. but.. it's like drafting closers in Fantasy Baseball.. around the 14th round.. there's a run...

by **A.Zajac** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:19 pm

Bauer no real surprise.

Agree.

Still don't think he's there but you take him. Too much upside.

by **Rocky55** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:22 pm

C'mon Orioles, leave Archie alone.

by **A.Zajac** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:22 pm

Rendon will NOT be picked fourth. Someone is going to fall into our lap.

by **JP_Frost** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:23 pm

O's won't take Rendon according to Mayo. Baseball beginnings reporting that the M's didn't trust Rendon's medicals.

Dylan or Bauer.. archie is safe.. trying on Wahoo gear...

by **dazindiansfanuk** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:23 pm

Goldstein saying the momentum is leaning towards the O's taking Jed Bradley #4.

Going to be some serious HS talent at #8 if they do.

Hoping they do pick Jed Bradley.

Orioles affect the Indians big time here.....let's see.

by **GeronimoSon** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:25 pm

Royals <== COME ON ROYALS.. take Rendon !!..

by **A.Zajac** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:25 pm

THANK YOU!!! Archie is still there! PHEW!

by **Rocky55** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:26 pm

I think the O's got the best player in the draft.

HAHA! Look at Bundy -- dude is wearing a University of Texas-Austin shirt! (his college commitment) Haha, oh boy. Sounds like a fun negotiation.

Agreed.

He has a good chance to be the best player in about four years..great talent...

Archie is wearing OU stuff too. Seems more like an MLB Network setup

by **Rocky55** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:29 pm

I'm starting to think we get somebody good.

by **homerawayfromhome** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:30 pm

@ rocky55 agreed.
Watchout for Archie Bradley and Trevor Bauer.

by **jellis** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:30 pm

I still like a healthy rendon more, but Bundy was a close 2nd

by **GeronimoSon** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:30 pm

Dayton Moore has been quoted saying that he wanted to protect the "home turf".. It was in the KC Star.. With some local guys going elsewhere (Pujols being the most prominent).. Moore may demand a BUBBA!..

by **jellis** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:30 pm

I am thinking archie here

Bundy is verbaled to Texas, not UTA, they are seperate schools

by **A.Zajac** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:31 pm

There goes Starling. We're still okay.

by **jellis** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:31 pm

A lot of happy KC fans right now, all the pitchers left so they took the local kid

by **JP_Frost** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:31 pm

Starling to Kc

by **Rocky55** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:32 pm

Starling gone. Who're we gonna get?

by **A.Zajac** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:32 pm

Mayo reporting Rendon will go to the Nats.

Sounds like their advisor is trying to squeeze a few more bucks out of their respective drafting teams!! Definitely don't think MLB (owns MLB network) told them to do that; if anything, they should discourage it to get bonuses down.

by **JP_Frost** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:32 pm

I think the Nats go college arm, and I can't see the Dbacks going for Archie or Rendon.

by **entertheshoe** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:33 pm

Can you imagine if the Royals hitting prospects all work out? Hosmer, Moustakus, Myers, and now Bubba. Yikes!

by **Hermie13** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:33 pm

Rendon would be interesting to the Nats here. Compared to Zimmerman a lot...who could be gone when Rendon is ready (signed thru 2013)

by **Tondo** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:34 pm

Bauer is already gone at 3

So, 2 left...Dbacks have an unprotected pick coming up, so they'll go easy College sign (J.Bradley, Gray, Jungmann, Springer)...I pray for WAS to take Lindor so I don't have to sweat him...Rendon or A.Bradley....I'm in

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.

by **GeronimoSon** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:34 pm

The seventh pick cannot be a HS kid.. that pretty much seals Archie coming the Indians way.. The Nats at 7.. will have to take a college kid..

Hello Archie.. welcome to the North Coast !!...

Not true.....could be a HS kid that wants to sign. Lots of Lindor talk there and Baez. I do think Archie is safe though not to go 7th.

by **A.Zajac** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:36 pm

DBacks are on the clock now... a bit nervous now!

by **ClevBuck** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:37 pm

Bauer, Bradley or Rendon? Not a bad spot to be stuck in

by **Rocky55** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:37 pm

Yes!!!!!

One more to go.

by **Hermie13** » Mon Jun 06, 2011 7:38 pm

Bauer is gone, what are you talking about? Rendon just picked too
