Not sure if it's thread worthy and a bit last second, but I figured I would start a thread where y'all can post thoughts and reactions.
MLB Draft Lottery on MLB Network Tuesday @ 5:30
- Thread starter YTF
- Start date
Red Sox have a 1.2% chance of 1st pick, 11% chance of top 6. If the status quo stays the same, they'll pick 11th. If the Mets or any team behind the Red Sox move into the lottery, they'll move back a spot for each one.
Mets drop 10 spots if they don't get into the lottery. Nats can't be in the top 10.

No? They said Holt and Fenway...I was in the kitchen though so didn't see.
Assuming I was mistaken you could, you know, provide the correct info.
The mustache clearly isn't lucky enough.

All because you misspelled a name. GJGE
Relatedly, did you know that literally 100% of people who conflate correlation and causation end up dying?
Cleveland with a 2% shot, gets the #1 spot and Cincinatti, with a 0.9% shot at the top spot, lands on the #2 spot.
Weren’t we In Cleveland’s spot until last day of season? And this happened last year too when Minny jumped to 5th?
I was curious because that didn't make sense to me so I looked it up. In case others are curious:
Three other teams -- the Mets, Padres and Yankees -- that were eligible for the lottery also dropped in the first round. The Mets had the seventh-best odds (4.3 percent) to win that top pick, but because they, along with the Padres and Yankees, exceeded the second surcharge threshold of the Competitive Balance Tax, they will have their first overall pick dropped 10 spots because they did not land one of the top six picks in the lottery. That means the Mets will pick No. 19, while the Padres and Yankees will pick at Nos. 25 and 26, respectively.
Next year's draft doesn't have the top end talent of this year's, nonetheless, the Reds getting another top pick to add to that squad...damn, they could be real good. Good thing their owner is an absolute cheapskate.
Maybe this makes Cincy feel better about trading Spencer Steer to the Red Sox?
I was trying to remember the last time Cleveland had the #1 pick before realizing that I can't remember because it's never happened. Guess I'll be paying a bit more attention to the amateur prospects next spring.
This guy gets it.
What's going to be fascinating is that none of the top-20 picks or so are California shortstops.
