MLB Draft chit-chat

Post by Versus75 »

Kyle Peterson: "The only bad part about Jackson Holliday being drafted no. 1 is that he probably isn't going to play for his uncle Josh Holliday at Oklahoma State.

Holliday compared to Dansby Swanson.

Has a brother who may be high draft choice.

That's great. I wonder how much money he made by sitting out a year. I'm sooo thrilled for the Mets!

RF Gavin Cross, just drafted, compared to J.J. Bleday. How about comparing him to Spencer Jones? Hope Spencer is taken in the first round.

Lesko #15 ... I was hoping he would drop out of the 1st round. Slot Value $4.083 million.

Edit: You're too fast for me, DCDore.

Cooper Hjerpe earned his payday. I didn't like losing to him, but I gave him for a great Regional.

Still no Barriera? Did I fall asleep?

~~~

After watching Peterson, Burke and Perez for far too many college games, I thought I would switch from ESPN to MLB Network. What do I get?

Vitiello. Sheesh. I keep expecting to say, "I thought so-and-so from Tennessee would have gone in this slot."

Pains me to say it, and I haven't listened closely to everything, but Vitello has given good, entertaining analysis, no Vol-homerism that I've heard.
