Draft Pick Discussion

[Clay]

The Colonials go against their own philosophy and draft the 2nd player on their board.... HS CF T.J. "Don't Call Me Cutini" Knudson...

He's our 2nd favorite player in the draft.... 5 tool.... real deal stud.... Love this kid.

Seem him as the #1 bat in this draft and a likely TOP 10 BA Prospect from Day 1

1.4 Up 2 CF's now gone

My Scout loves this guy more than any player in the draft. That's what i pay him for.
Justin Linseman Prediction to an 8 contact over time.

[Dave]

I won't expound on McCarty since he hasn't been picked yet... but I didn't have him at #2 range.

Go easy on Carlos. He didn't have time to get a list together.

Don't make him angry again.

[Clay]

Don't make him angry again.

Yeah... don't make him go mobile!

anyone's thought on my pick. Please no Underwood comments

[liquidcrash]

I like Linseman just fine. I don't see any 8's, but he should be pretty good.

Of course, he's an international. Clay will be along shortly to tell you how that'll play out.

Picked the ballpark of where I thought he'd go...

Probably BA Top 50(ish) Prospects....

Personally a little too high for me... mostly because I don't like INTERNATIONAL guys....

At #3, I would have been scared off by a guy with 3-3-2-2-2 numbers with no real stats to back it up.

My advice: Be patient.

You complete me.

I had Bryant #1, Knudson #2. After that, this whole thing is up in the air as far as I can tell. There's plenty of guys my scout likes right now, but I don't see much of a hierarchy. I think it's going to be a more unpredictable draft than we've seen in the past few seasons.

My scout has Linseman #23 on his list. Personally, I had him a bit higher than that.

[Clay]

I expect either Pat or Linty to take the #1 guy on my board.

They both see players and draft a lot like I do and they're in a position to take him that I wasn't at #2.

[liquidcrash]

I believe I have an idea of who you're referring to. If so, I'll say I disagree with him being #1 on any board. But I'm an idiot, so disregard most of the things I say.

Sau was international - but I remember hoping he'd drop to 4, and then hoping he didn't because he was an immigrant.

Hyundai selects CF Tom "Grinder" Swanson. Plus power, Plus speed, good leadership. I couldn't take a chance on the HS kids. Too much risk.

Yeah, Sau is looking like the real deal for sure. I've just not seen enough consistent BLB level success from the INT's yet. He's a good start though.
