I'll do the Cubs

I know John was picking for the Padres and the Phillies

by Outshined_One on Jun 5, 2025 3:36 PM EDT up reply actions

by wilriv21 on Jun 5, 2025 3:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sorry

I wasn’t prepared for round 4 (only ranked to #84) and had to do some quick looking over who was available

by jar75 on Jun 5, 2025 3:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Pirates select

4.02 (117): Luke Jackson, RHP, Calvary Christian HS (FL)

by jar75 on Jun 5, 2025 3:48 PM EDT reply actions  

LOVE IT!!!

He was probably my favorite player available.

ETHAN MARTIN!!!!

by joegonzo on Jun 5, 2025 3:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

I had to save my draft

Since the Aviles injury came down, I’m not very happy with how those 2 rounds went.

by jar75 on Jun 5, 2025 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

i like the way you think, sir.

where you from Torrez?

by wilriv21 on Jun 5, 2025 3:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

This community seems very anti-reliever.

by crawdaddy on Jun 5, 2025 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

At this point, after taking two big money guys

I figured, why not

Plus, it's the 4th round

If you can get a high quality relief pitcher here, that’s actually a good thing.

by Outshined_One on Jun 5, 2025 3:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

that;s what SF Giants John Barr does - he grabs a power reliever around rounds 4/5

by wilriv21 on Jun 5, 2025 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

not bad at all here

I think most places have Munson top 100,
so good value.

The guy I like is Seth Rosin.
He gets ranked a bit lower,
around 180 by both BA and Nick James
no one took him here

But plus FB velocity with plus plus FB command in a big durable workhorse build is intriguing. Secondary stuff is underdeveloped, but that’s not unusual for a cold climate arm.

by acerimusdux on Jun 6, 2025 7:42 AM EDT up reply actions  

Astros select

4.08 OF Brian Ragira, James Martin HS

Anyone want to pick for the A's

otherwise I’m going with Hague as the next nominated choice

by AndrewTorrez on Jun 5, 2025 4:05 PM EDT reply actions  

possible…think they might look elsewhere with green and weeks.

by crawdaddy on Jun 5, 2025 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions

by crawdaddy on Jun 5, 2025 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions

Hey wilriv

A college hitter would be nice, but I don’t see any of value right now.

How about Lorenzen or Velazquez?

Kevin Ziomek makes a lot of sense here.

good christ yes

how did I miss him?

by AndrewTorrez on Jun 5, 2025 4:39 PM EDT up reply actions  

Havent been following much, but I do remember Ranaudo and Paxton. Paxton will come pretty cheap . . . about slot for 1s.

by crawdaddy on Jun 5, 2025 4:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think Paxton will come that cheaply

They took Harvey and Zach Lee, though.

by Outshined_One on Jun 5, 2025 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Oh wow, Lee. Yeah, that would be expensive.

by crawdaddy on Jun 5, 2025 4:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

You really think that Paxton’s going to sit out 2 whole years? Even Boras isn’t so egomaniacal to make a mistake like that.
