MLB Draft 2011 Discussion Thread

Some experts are saying the Jays are looking for a college bat, others say they'll go for a high school pitcher. Heavily linked players include Levi Michael, college shortstop, Andrew Chafin, a college left-hander who's coming off Tommy John and Daniel Norris, a high school left-handed pitcher. Others include Mikie Mahtook, Kolten Wong, Taylor Guerrieri and Josh Bell. All of those players have their downsides. Mahtook might not stick in center field and might strike out too much, Levi Michael might not stick at shortstop and might not hit for power. Wong isn't a sure bet to stick at second or hit for power, Guerrieri has great stuff but also makeup concerns because he's been kicked out of 2 high schools. Chafin's health is a major question and Norris and Bell will be very expensive.
Then there's that tiny issue of the Jays not knowing who will be available, as 20 players will be selected before the Jays get to choose their favorite. Whoever they will select first, though, the Jays will have a lot more picks this draft. So if you do not like the first pick, remember that every selection has a lot of bust potential and in the end the most valuable player to the Jays might not even be selected in the first three rounds. Of course, I'm saying this because most Jays fans don't seem to like Levi Michael, the current favorite to be picked at number 21 by the Jays. I'd like to point out a quote by Dave Cameron of Fangraphs:
Good college bats are, by far, the safest bet in any Major League draft.
This could be why AA and scouting director Andrew Tinnish are looking for a college bat, as they have plenty of picks to select high schoolers with a lot of potential with. Whoever they pick, I'm sure their improved scouting team has watched that player a lot and are confident in the player's abilities.

Yep i getting myself prepare for the pick of Levi
atleast the situation isn’t like the Cubs with Hayden Simpson where it came out of no where
I'd volunteer Woodman for the task...

Totally wrong
Taking a draft at random, like 1991:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Major_League_Baseball_Draft
7 of the 26 first rounder were all-stars. 1 in 10 isn’t even close to realistic
Jim Bowden talked about this the other day, with regard to pitchers:
http://espn.go.com/blog/the-gms-office/post/_/id/222/top-of-the-draft-philosophy-take-the-hitter
Smart. I was reading that the Royals had a habit of passing on local talent.

They might not be able to resign Zim who has a contract through 2013
HEADING STRAIGHT FOR THEM, I PRESS DOWN MAH GUNS!
Wouldn’t the Nats wish Rendon could be what Zimmerman already is? He is easily the most underrated player in MLB.
Maybe they think he'll be better than Zim
Zim’s 162 game avg = .289/.356/.485 with 25 Hrs and 98 RBIs.

that's pretty good

I don’t like Lindor this high. Sure you want upside, but I think you want a bit more proven guys first and then take upside guy after upside guy in later rounds.

i think they could take a chance on a HS bat.

sorry meant to continue
I often discuss the NBA Draft but that’s because I watch a decent amount of NCAABB, so I feel qualified to talk about it. for baseball, I just read Woodman’s posts :P

not bell
With Mahtook, Guerrieri, Barnes, Swihart on the board, I think Bell doesn’t make sense at 21. Too much of a signing risk with those talents on the board.

AA trusts his scouts
Clearly the message of Beede. There were higher-regarded picks, more signable picks. Only coherent explanation is that the scouting team loves Beede, and the front office trusts their scouts.
Tyler Beede sent a letter to all teams last week instructing teams not to contact him, and that he was attending Vanderbilt.

Pension Plan Puppets
I hope YouTube comes down to film this.
Josh Bell did the same thing.
That’s why I think he could fall to a sandwich pick
also sounds like they're not worried about the money

Dont hate, appriciate
he has a lot of upside, dont worry about signability itll get done. I would rather of had Guerrieri but Beede is a solid pick
is he even that much better/have higher ceiling than guerrieri to go through the trouble of the hard signing?
Choose me, Ash!
thats the question
imo no i think theyre similiar. The jays obviously do, i really hate that Guerrieri just went off the board

Still annoyed with Beede
Even presuming he was the BPA, there was probably a 50/50 chance he’d be available at 35- and we could have grabbed Guerrieri.
I’m choosing to believe this, because otherwise I’m way to frustrated.

Maybe they knew that he would definitely not sign if he wasn't drafted in round 1

no
it takes Bud 5 minutes to walk on and off the stage
Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?
Whose great idea was it to make Selig the star of the evening? The guy must have an ego the size of New Jersey to insist on announcing all the first round. Easily one of the most boring possible ways of running the draft.
What?
are you telling me you don’t enjoy listening him breath heavily and sigh into the mic before every pick?

When the sandwich round begins?

I thought he was going to go a lot higher than 26th

What I think: Jays either believed Guerrieri wouldn’t have enough control or a good enough third pitch and Beede would.
