MLB Draft Talk (July 13th 6pm EDT & July 14th 11:30am EDT)

Brown should focus on pitching. Kid throws 98 from the left side. That’ll take you a lot further in a professional career than being a good college hitter. Tennessee needs to treat him like LSU treated Skenes.

He hit pretty damn well as a Freshman. I know it was 4 innings and you may be correct but he's miles behind where Paul was as a pitcher.

Bat is ahead of the arm at this stage in his development. He's got a pretty good chance to get drafted pretty high as an outfielder in '27.

I don't see CTV doing that to the kid but who knows

Congrats to Cannon Peebles! Drafted in the 17th!

 

[931Vol]

There goes Peebles.

 

[rockytop25]

PEEBLES!! Let's go

 

[TheBigOne10]

Way to go Cannon! So happy for him.

Ethan Moore just drafted

 

[931Vol]

Uhhhh did he not just announce he was coming to school?

 

[Legion of Doom]

Moore won’t sign if taken this late. Not all guys drafted get signed.

I know but it’s a waste of a pick from Cincy.

 

[TheBigOne10]

So where do we think Siebert factors in this year?

 

[Legion of Doom]

Cincy does not have the money with taking over slot guys early in draft. No way they are able to sign Moore. Waste of a pick after the article released where Moore has said he is coming to school.

That organization has been poorly run for a long time

Cain just confirmed that Moore is still coming to Tennessee

Do Reds even pay attention to these things lol.

Appenzeller drafted by Seattle in 19th round

 

[wtmvol]

A google search tells me that sometimes MLB teams in the late rounds intentionally draft players they know won’t sign in order to gain a compensatory pick next year.

As I said, they're an extremely poorly run organization

 

[Jackcrevol]

i dont understand roster limits on baseball teams:

Its as if the NCAA meeting with Lloyd and Harry said 'this sports getting too popular, quick before product gets too good.'

 

[Jackcrevol]

Do Reds even pay attention to these things lol.

no no braves said we got this

 

[Legion of Doom]

I guess they wanted to throw every dollar left and pipe dream hope it worked. Good to know Moore is coming. We are stacked for next year again. Vitello is a machine.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Still no one has drafted Henry Ford?

 

[Legion of Doom]

This was about the best outcome we could have hoped for with our roster. Appenzeller is special player.

You are only able to gain a compensatory pick if a player you drafted in the top 10 rounds doesn’t sign. These teams wouldn’t qualify for one.

 

[VolFan_stuck_in_the_901]

Soooo.... Bargo and Chappy are most likely not getting drafted
