Daniel Norris to the Pirates

is what the first pick today should read

What’s the best place to follow this?

by Woodman663 on Jun 7, 2025 11:13 AM EDT reply actions  

Follow Day 2?

MLB.com draft tracker should be up and this site and many others will be live blogging or chatting. Depends on what your style is.

Cards Day 2

Norris and Bell were on the top of my list for Day 1 options for the Cards so if 1 or both make it to them in Rd 2 I would love to see us make a splash. All indications are Wong will not be a hard sign nor will it take much overslot if any…I say that will a littel reservation since Boras is his advisor. But that should mean we have the ability to go upside even if it means overslot signing in Day 2. If Norris and/or Bell are gone or they just don’t want them for whatever reason I like Howard, Dickerson, J. Lopez, Meo, Conley, Fisher, T. Greene, Delmonico, Cave, Evans and a flier on Amir Garrett with their picks for Rd 2 and 3.

dang...

I suspect the Pirates were on the phone last night

by John Sickels on Jun 7, 2025 12:11 PM EDT reply actions  

if they can sign him

that’s a hell of a pick. Best high school bat and best college arm in the same draft is a huge win for the pirates. The outfield of McCutchen, Tabata, Bell could be amazing

by lomo45 on Jun 7, 2025 12:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

They pretty much have to, right?

PIT can’t afford to just cede a pick this high. They must have a good read on his receptiveness to sign I’d think. Not dissimilar to Stetson Allie in 2010 I suppose in some ways.

by Matt0330 on Jun 7, 2025 12:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

The pick is protected

So they don’t HAVE to sign him necessarily.

by deezle on Jun 7, 2025 12:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

Confident

Pirates have to feel they can sign him. All the money is being put into the minors anyway. Now they can go low $$$ and high upside the rest of the draft.

Don't like it...

Not all big guys become Prince Fielder. I think he goes the road of Joey Meyer - great big hitter, excellent power, never enough of an athlete to perform at MLB level. Really would’ve gone with a more athletic player.

by thecoolest on Jun 7, 2025 12:21 PM EDT reply actions  

my feeling is that, i'm okay with it

My personal preference was someone like Derek Fisher (although being a UVA fan, there’s a part of me that hopes he slips). That said, the system needed power potential, and Vogelbach has some of the traits that Wilken looks for when drafting a bat relatively high - good bat speed and good, strong, quick wrists. The Cubs also have a good training staff that has done a great job in developing leaner, stronger guys in recent years. With Vogelbach and Baez, they’ve added some sorely needed power potential.

Sounds like some of that pre-Draft Tampa Bay spin..

by Matt0330 on Jun 7, 2025 12:37 PM EDT up reply actions  

Except they’re actually drafting like they’ve got tons of money to spend. Tampa’s draft is real nice, but they clearly aren’t going “BPA at every pick”…Toronto is actually going huge, and I bet they sign these guys.

by metafour on Jun 7, 2025 12:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

sounds a little rich

I’m sure they have eight figures to spend on the entire draft, a little skeptical that they have $20M. But I suppose this year, with all the talk (likely unfounded) of hard slotting next draft, that one team had to go with the “all out guns blazing” approach, and it might as well be the Jays. We’ll see what the damage looks like after the deadline, but considering that teams rarely use high picks on players they don’t have every intention of signing, Jays fans should be pleased.

by mrkupe on Jun 7, 2025 1:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

Sure why not

Seriously though, who knows when considering that Tyler Beede & Kevin Comer won’t likely go ‘gently into the night’ at the deadline. I love the Jays’ approach though especially when contrasted to the way the Draft was run during the JP Ricciardi era.

by Matt0330 on Jun 7, 2025 12:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

wow, Blue Jays continue to roll

1) did not know you could call “time out”

Williams Jerez

mlb.com is saying there are questions as to him possibly being 23 (?!?!), which I hadn’t heard.

So far, this is a Red Sox draft. I absolutely love what they’re doing (which, as a Rays fan, is pissing me off mightily.)

by AndrewTorrez on Jun 7, 2025 12:38 PM EDT up reply actions  

Thanks for all the updates. I appreciate it. As a Rays fan, what do you think of their draft? It seems like the Rays have a nice mix of players, much to what Keith Law said. They didn’t go crazy like everybody speculated but they made intelligent picks.

by Dorn on Jun 7, 2025 12:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

my thoughts are

here, although I think John summed it up pretty well — very nice picks at 24 and 31, then 3 pretty significant overdrafts in the supplemental (Hager, Ames, Snell), two wildcards where you just have to trust their scouting department (Martin, Harris), and then three pretty solid picks (Goeddel, Carter, Garvin).

So far I really like the Goetzman pick at 2.75. Not thrilled with drafting a reliever at 2.89 with a lot of talent still on the board.

by AndrewTorrez on Jun 7, 2025 12:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Starter or reliever in the pros?

Try him at starter

Has great upside potential. Worse case, he becomes flamethrowing reliever, but a starter is always more valuable.

I like Houston’s draft - a couple of college upside plays in Armstrong II & George Springer.

Derek Fisher?

Any thoughts one whether Fisher gets selected soon (or at all) and who will take a chance on him?

by rblythepittsteel on Jun 7, 2025 1:00 PM EDT reply actions  

tough to say

He’s obviously a very tough sign, and the further he drops, the less likely he’s going to be drafted in a position where the drafting team will have the money to sign him away. If he doesn’t go in the next 3 rounds or so, the odds of him signing are close to nil.

Nick Maronde, Florida

Anyone have anything on him?

http://babiesboozeandboobs.wordpress.com/

by Sethy on Jun 7, 2025 1:05 PM EDT reply actions  

Keith Law had him at 52.

Coming from a three-quarters slot, Maronde will sit 92-95 in a relief stint (mostly 94-95 when I saw him) and pitches heavily off the fastball; the pitch has late life but no sink and he’ll probably be a fly ball guy long-term. His hard curveball at 79-81 mph has good shape although he doesn’t always finish it; when he does it’s an above-average pitch that should give left-handed hitters a ton of problems. He has a changeup but rarely if ever uses it in games.

Maronde’s arm action is long but very fluid, with visibility to the hitter the only real concern, and he’s looking more athletic than he did in high school. We know he can pitch in relief, but he has the size, velocity, and at least one off-speed weapon to move back to the rotation in pro ball.

based on his stats from 2010

he sounds like he has the stuff to be a closer, was reaching back at 99 at one point, hopefully the shoulder problem doesn’t hurt the velo too much.

John Hicks

What the? I’m a UVA fan and really liked Hicks, but when was he projected to be a top 4 round guy? Good for him, though, having waited his first two years while Valdes was around. Needs more PT to develop behind the plate but the skills are there, I think.

didn't realize that, thanks

I don’t recall seeing him anywhere this high on some other lists, so the pick surprised me, but the kid has talent, but for a college junior, is probably touch raw developmentally.

Hmm

I have no idea if it was a factor but, the Mariners drafted Danny Hultzen then draft his catcher a few rounds later.

by Pikachu on Jun 7, 2025 1:47 PM EDT reply actions  

This year’s top prospect in Canada is righthander Thomas Robson, who has a big frame at 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds. Robson’s fastball sits in the 88-91 mph range, and he has touched 93, and it’s not difficult to envision him adding a couple of ticks because of his frame, his age (17) and how easy his arm works. Robson also shows a good feel for the strike zone, moves the ball around well and has a good understanding of how to pitch. He can spin a curveball and shows feel for a changeup. Robson is committed to Central Arizona JC but could go as high as the fifth round.

by Tromni on Jun 7, 2025 2:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

Don't disagree completely, but I think that the "beans for 1b" is a little bleak

Chris Marrero is having a respectable season at AAA, and Tyler Moore has proved at AA that his season a high A Potomac (where he was the Player of the Year in the Carolina League in 2010) was not a fluke. While neither of them are top drawer prospects, they were good enough to make Sickels’ list of team prospects last winter.

That said, I’ve been quite surprised with Mike Morse’s glovework around first base - since he came up as a SS, I guess I shouldn’t have been that surprised. He could be a nice placeholder until one of the prospects pushes him out.

After showing solid stuff on the showcase circuit for the last two summers, Chin was in discussion to be a top-15 rounds pick, but he had Tommy John surgery in late April. When healthy, Chin sat at 86-90 mph and touched 92 with his fastball, threw a fringe-average curveball and showed feel for a changeup. He had a deceptive delivery with a three-quarters release point and impressed talent evaluators with his ability to compete. Chin won’t be able to throw for about 10-12 months, and it would be surprising if a team took him and tried to nurse him through the recovery process. He could develop into a top-flight college arm in a few years.

From BA

At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, third baseman J.D. Davis is a good hitter with a lot of strength and above-average power. His swing is more about strength than pure bat speed, which concerns some scouts. He also has a stocky body with a thick lower half and will have to watch his conditioning as he gets older. He is already seen as a baseclogger. Davis also pitches and has been up to 93 mph off the mound, with a curveball and a changeup. His arm strength and body type make scouts think he might be worth trying at catcher. Davis is committed to Cal State Fullerton.

Fisher fell because of bonus demands and his insistence of going to Virginia U. if they weren’t met. That’s why it’s easier for a team to take a risk here. I’m sure Texas will make an offer within reason but if they don’t come to an agreement, it is not that big of a risk to use a 7th rounder on him.

Tyler Gibson, my 3rd round pick, just got selected in thr 15th, though, that is because of signability concerns. I was willing to pay him.

I asked earlier but didnt get a response, but now that he's been drafted

Any thoughts on KJ Hockaday? Breaking Teixeira’s high school home run record has to help one’s reputation.

Tylers

I don’t know what the deal is with the Tylers.

I don’t know if Tyler Robbins will get drafted or not, but if you want to see a great stat line, go check out what he did at Dallas Baptist.

All of the Tylers

reminds me of when the Mets doubled up on Dylan Owen and Dillon Gee
