Wow HS ball in FL ends early. Our HS state play-offs (IL) would last until the end of May! Feel like I missing some context.

Dunno, but it’s really hot in Florida in May.

Man, this draft is so weak…..

Right? Of course there will always be players who become stars out of nowhere. But if you go by scouting grades (out of 80), there is only one player who is even a 60/80, and thats Rodgers. It’s a huge dropoff.
That’s why I’m not surprised when I read the report that teams picking at the bottom of the first round may just draft a 2nd round player to save money. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out.

I just don’t want Brady Aiken. Health concerns are a no.

If you’re planning to pass on every player in the draft who is at risk of an injury, you should go ahead and shut down your scouting department and make other plans for the first weekend of June.

Aiken just had TJS and probably still wants super above-slot money.

You didn’t say (your completely fabricated assumption about) unreasonable contract demands were a no. You said health concerns were.
Karkat
The health concerns compound the contract thing. My ever so sincerest of apologies for not laying out a completely detailed opinion on the internet.

The real question: Is there anyone up for the draft this year whose name doesn’t sound like a law firm?

Would love to see DJ Stewart go to the Braves as a comp pick.

Some fans are unhappy with this draft but it’s shaping up perfect for my team. Tons of pitching depth and question marks make it likely for LA to land a talented SP at 24. The bigger than most, draft pool makes it possible to spend well over slot. Wild cards like RHP Dillon Tate could go anywhere too this year. There should be plenty of talented SP available late 1st round in 2015. I hope Cin or Min are willing to send over a pick to shed some salary too. Brandon Phillips plus Comp pick for Ethier + $?

High School Playoffs started today in most of Florida. Still have weeks to go before State Finals

Looking forward to seeing how the new front office for the Dodgers handles their first draft.
