The #2 guy was there.

Doesn’t mean he’s a better talent though.

These sites rate these guys all over the place.

Liberatore was thought of as the better prospect because he had done it more.

Rodriguez jumped up this year. He has a big power arm. No talk of being in the pen or anything like that.

Liberatore may be more polished and may have a better track record but that doesn’t mean he’s the better talent.

Grenier was the bigger issue. That sounds like a bad pick where you took him.

Sounds like a reach to make sure you get a MIer.

I feel like you could have thrown darts at the top 50 and done better than they did.

 

My guess is we'll hear the Roger Clemens and Mike Bordck comps....and neither guy makes it out of AA.

 

Royals and Rays though....wow.

Astros drafted a guy named Seth Beer. 

 

Something tells me that will be very popular in jersey sales.

Of course they did. He will end up being the steal of the draft. Just wait.

Eh idk. He can't play anywhere defensively.

Give it time. There was a time he looked like he was going at the top. Someone will find a way to make it work, he's got a ton of talent.

Totally agree. Key was him going to an AL team - worst case he DH's. Dude can still hit.

Round 6, picks 175, O's select Leadership Christian Academy RHP Yeancarlos Lleras.

 

@CarlosACollazo 40s41 seconds ago

I really like Yeankarlos Lleras. He's small, but he has whippy fast arm strength and he gets up into the mid 90s. It's a reliever profile but I like the arm speed.
