June 5th 6pm: MLB Draft Game Thread

[StuckOnYouk]

It's important that this pick works out so we can make fun of Yankee fans in 4 years when Ellsbury's albatross contact is weighing them down while our guy is raking in AAA.  

 
So true.
 
By the way what did we get for the Damon signing?

 

[The Boomer]

With Davidson to the Braves, the Sox are about to pick a stud of their choice unless they budgeted to go below slot here.

That's a very good point.

 

[nvalvo]

Why no on Reed?

 
I worry he has no position. 

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

I'm sure I missed this elsewhere on the board, but what pick number did Drew and his conniving agent cost us?

34

 

[MuzzyField]

Fuck highlights ... I want more Sox talk.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

I think it would have been #34.  Ugh, that bastard.

 

[ForceAtHome]

Daniel Bard.

 

[O Captain! My Captain!]

The 20 thousand 14 mlb draft

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Wait, Who?

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

In the Year 20,014...

 

[MuzzyField]

20-thousand-14 Draft... What year is it in Bud's world?

 

[RedOctober3829]

Huh? Belichick take over the room?

 

[Hank Scorpio]

"The year 20,014 first year player draft."
 
Twenty thousand fourteen...

 

[Bigpupp]

Nice

 

[Doug Beerabelli]

Is he committed to Rutgers?

 

[mabrowndog]

The Red Sox next pick is #67. 

 

[Bone Chips]

Bud, please, take a nap for goodness sake.

 

[PaulinMyrBch]

Okay, yellow writeups from now on please. I like that one.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Seems like he'd be pretty easy to run on with that leg kick...

 

[RoDaddy]

Everybody's delivery screams TJS these days

Yeah why not just schedule TJ surgery on contract sign day to get the inevitable out of the way

2004 Cardinals: Runner-up World Champions.

 

[O Captain! My Captain!]

2004 Cardinals: Runner-up World Champions.

 
Silver trophy winners

Except these days all that having TJS earlier means is that you can wear out the new ligament and get a second one.

 

[Rough Carrigan]

Is he committed to Rutgers?

Tell him it's not prestigious.  It's New Jersey State!!

 

[Over Guapo Grande]

As long as cleaning up the mechanics doesn't mean the stuff takes a hit.

Daniel Bard asks "when has that ever happened?"

His delivery is very stressful on the body. His stuff is very good, but we'll see. I trust Ben and his staff.

I think I already posted it Nip

 

[AlNipper49]

Can some one paste this for me correctly?

[AlNipper49]

Cool thanks

 

[nvalvo]

Great movement on the frontdoor curves in that video. 

 

[nvalvo]

edit: nevermind, Nip's video was already up. 

 

[BosRedSox5]

I really don't see a problem with his delivery at all. Some of the reports actually think it's good for him because it's so flexible. He doesn't seem to be putting undue pressure on his joints or ligaments. Unorthodox doesn't always mean bad.

I hope you're right.

It took me about six minutes to go from 'who? Aw crap' to 'I LOVE THIS GUY'

[PaulinMyrBch]

He looks like a mixture of Jered Weaver and Luis Tiant. 

 

[Lowrielicious]

It looks like he's throwing a whiffleball. Look at the break on that. 

exactly what I was about to post. Don't know if it's the camera angle or what, but that looks insane.

 

[nvalvo]

Presumably there's pitchFX info on these showcases held in MLB stadiums...

Chris Sale agrees with this. 

 

[mabrowndog]

Fisher gone to Houston

 

[nvalvo]

Derek Fisher to Houston. 

 

[mabrowndog]

And there goes Fisher's teammate, Mike Papi.

[nvalvo]

Papi to Cleveland. 

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Are the rest of the picks tonight only one minute between picks, or is that only for the competitive balance round?
