Happy Draft Day!

Submitted by Rob G. on

The first round of the MLB draft happens today. It will last at least twice as long as necessary. Good news for us Cubs fans is they have the #6 pick, so we can get the first pick over quickly. I believe they do go through the supplemental round though today and that's two more picks (#43 and #56) for the Cubs at the end of the evening.

The buzz for the Cubs centers around the 2 high school position players, Carlos Correa ("He's another A-Rod!!!) and Albert Almora ("the Cubs would take him even if they had the #1 pick"). Huzzah! The latest mock drafts from Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus both had the Cubs taking Almora for what it's worth.

Other names loosely linked to the Cubs are Florida catcher Mike Zunino and LH prep pitcher Max Fried.

You can watch the fun on MLB.com.

"Good news for us Cubs fans is they have the #6 pick, so we can get this over with quickly." no doubt. well, that wrapped up a little quicker than i thought. bud selig makes a less-than-2-minute speech. neat. this might happen in 30-45 minutes. everyone's on the clock for 5 minutes and i'm sure most (if not all) will stretch it out as long as possible for no other reason than "making TV."

Mariners take M. Zunino Jeff Clement retrospectives being filed.

K. Gausman to Orioles at #4. Appel must be thrilled with Boras right now.

are you high right now? If Appel is still demanding $6-$7M, it's possible the Cubs would have to pay a luxury tax and lose a draft pick and/or not have money for some draft picks they wanted later. That would be very, very dumb. None of this has anything to do with Concepcion.

are you high? gerado concepcion is a waste of money and a roster spot even if it's somehow "cheap" to give him $7m. whether they give a guy $5m or $8m in the 1st round it probably wouldnt make/break the team.

clever comeback "None of this has anything to do with Concepcion." you heard about the new CBA right? anyway, I'm done with you, there was a reason I've been skipping over your comments the last 4 months.

not really. you seem to support flushing money down the toilet as long as it's on a reasonable payment plan. i think anyone who would do something like giving g.concepcion the deal he got would get whoever the hell they wanted no matter what. it's moot anyway.

Submitted by crunch on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 06:06 pm

yup. doesn't necessarily make it a bad thing, especially if you have a good plan for going cheap later. some teams are more than willing to look deeper for a deal in following rounds if they can get the guy they want or fall to them. if everyone had to go cheap no one would draft appell...and what happens in this system when the next bryce harper shows up?

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 06:46 pm

Keith Law says it's Almora. and Callis says it's Almora to Cubs and Fried to Padres.

Submitted by Rob G. on Mon, 06/04/2012 - 06:47 pm

Almora it is. Welcome new Cubbie! Don't suck. See everyone in 2 hours for the next Cubs picks. ~sigh~

He does have a Lou Montanez about him...weak draft, safe pick, etc. But he is a great defensive outfielder and has decent speed, so he does have that as a fallback if he doesn't hit in pro ball.

The Cubs draft Almora. I would have drafted that blonde in the blue dress (for those watching on mlb channel)

Interesting possible stellar top three for the Bucs with Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon, two previous high Pirate picks.

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    I don’t see Tauchman as a weak link in any position. He simply adds his value in a different way.

    I don’t know that we gain much by putting him in the outfield - Happ, Bellinger and Suzuki and Tauchman all field their positions well. If you’re looking for Taucnman’s kind of AB in a particular game I don’t see why it can’t come from DH.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Tauchman gets a pinch hit RBI single with a liner to RF. This is his spot. He's a solid 4th OF. But he isn't a DH. 

    He takes pitches. Useful. I still believe in having good hitters.

    You don't want your DH to be your weak link (other than your C maybe)
