Shadow draft is you taking who would take if you were them isn't it?

That's what I thought we were doing with our picks?

[Greg Pappas]

1. Houston Astros—have selected Carlos Correa, SS, Puerto Rico Baseball Academy

[Greg Pappas]

2. Minnesota Twins-- are officially On the Clock!

[JeremyStrain]

MIN - Appel

Try to reload while Mauer and Morneau are still around.

[LanceRinker]

With the second pick in the 2012 Draft, the Twins select Byron Buxton.

[JeffLong]

Soooo I guess Appel again. That's how this works, yes?

[Greg Pappas]

2. Minnesota Twins-- have selected Byron Buxton, OF, Appling County H.S. (Ga.)

[Greg Pappas]

3. Seattle Mariners-- are officially On the Clock!

[JeremyStrain]

Nah, it's not who you think, it's who you would take if you were that team.

I was actually going to change Appel to Buxton, missed it by 10 sec, had to help the little one go potty :/

[JeffLong]

Zunino

With the second pick in the 2012 Draft, the Twins select Byron Buxton.

From the OP/

Now, there are a three options on how a poster may participate:

1> You can post who you think the TEAM will take. An example would be... The Orioles will take Kevin Gausman, RHP, LSU.
2> You can post who YOU would take-- if in charge and on the clock. An example would be... I would take Carlos Correa, SS/3B, HS-Puerto Rico.
3> Both... but be clear in your post. An example would be... The Orioles will take Kevin Gausman, RHP, LSU, but I would take Carlos Correa, SS/3B, HS-Puerto Rico.

[LanceRinker]

With the 3rd pick in the 2012 draft, the Seattle Mariners select Kevin Gausman.

(I'm making my selections based on who I would take if I were the GM of the team on the clock)

- higher upside than Appel.

[JeremyStrain]

SEA - Zunino

Young catcher to grow with Hernandez and Hultzen.

[Greg Pappas]

3. Seattle Mariners-- have selected Mike Zunino, C, Florida

[bhrusty]

While the order ahead of them changed I'm still sitting here with the same basic decision I had thought I would, between Gausman, Appel and Fried. I hadn't expected Appel to be here, but I never liked him more than Gausman anyway.

I'm going with the highest upside pitcher, and a lefty for a system that is absolutely bereft of them and taking Fried. I also think he can come in at or under slot, but I don't think that would have been a problem with the other pitchers either.

4. Baltimore Orioles-- are officially On the Clock!

[LanceRinker]

With the 4th overall selection, the Baltimore Orioles select Kevin Gausman.

[JeffLong]

The O's will pick Appel

[RVAbird]

With the fourth overall pick, I would select (on behalf of the Baltimore Orioles) Kevin Gausman (RHP, LSU).

[BSLChrisStoner]

The Orioles will take Gausman, but I would take Almora.
