2022 Draft Utility is live - Draft clock starts Wednesday 7/12

[Hank]

What? Now Tobs is an asshole.
Snider was mine!!

[Matt]

Sorry for the wait. Home now and will pick in 10-15.

[funclown]

All be picking in about two hours after Matt. Need to go workout now.

[Matt]

Sorry for the delay. Thanks for all the trade offers but decided to go with another SP...3rd in 3 years I believe. Hopefully that arm injury doesn't kills his career and he only keeps getting stronger. Maybe I'll actually have a SP staff that isn't dead last in the league in a few seasons.


SP Kristoffer Ball
LSU

[Spectre]

Damn, love that pick Matt

SP Kristoffer Ball

Shit. That's who I was trying to trade up for. 1.16 on the block.

[Delandis]

I was holding out that he'd drop.

One of the 7 guys I have that I was really hoping would sneak to 25... Nice pick!

CF Tom 'Tug' Lyons.

Yeah yeah his injury history scares the shit out of me, but I just got a feeling about this kid. Feels like a true superstar. Also rolling the dice we tend to handle fragile kids with kid gloves.

We got a gameplan for handling him.

When he is playing he's a legit top of the order hitter. Also...yeah he plays defense well also.

We traded down to have multiple picks for a reason, not to play all the picks safe.

It's a good pick this late. If Lyons had never been hurt, he's a top 5 pick. Would have been in the running for #1 even.

A fragile CF who looks like he is going to be covering about 70% of the entire OF is definitely scary but I think he's worth the risk. He could actually debut as the top prospect from this class and I wouldn't be surprised. That's probably never happened in BLB history with a pick this late.

DVS is on the clock and then Seattle.

I will entertain offers to trade down from the 17th pick if anyone is interested who picks in the 18-40 range.

Time for one of those Philly 2nd for Seattle 1st I've been reading about.

[umd]

Decisions... decisions. Tug was last on my Big Board.

[Pat]

Acquire an additional 2nd then talk to me.

[Guest]

Still looking to get back into the 1st or in the top half of the 2nd. I have future picks and prospects available, as well as 3.13, 3.16, and 4.12

[Pat]

Sorry for the delay guys.

I had three teams with really good offers for the pick and I was simultaneously trying to change a diaper, feed and on top of that my board got ripped up by Snider, Melendes and Lyon going off the board.

SP Erik Wade is coming to Seattle. Feels like a super safe pick at this point. Maybe a little too safe with the high upside talent still available at SS and CF, but made the pick anyways.
