Saw this coming a mile away

I saw him falling to somewhere around 15-20. I won't say I'm shocked to see him still falling but I did think he would be gone by now. I also didn't think Singer would fall to 18 either so. 

i don't know his personalty that well to know if he will get offended enough to come back but even though his name is at the top of the best available, they won't even mention it. They talk about Kowar and Rocker who are numbers 2 and 3 on the list. 

No way Shane makes it past the compensation picks is there?

I think a lot of these guys will play in different spots in the pros than they did when are drafted anyway. Best case is this guy makes one of those two a trade chip.

I'll take Shane to the Cubs. I've never had my team take a USF player. The Bears passed on Mack and screwed me.

How about a SS from Stanford? 

Surprised that Singer is still on the board. Was also surprised to see Murray go so high. A lot of risk there. 

WSU's Alec Bohm goes third overall. He won't be missed, he did some damage against us. 

Draft: Pick-by-pick, first-round analysis

I'm thinking Mize, Bart, Bohm to start it off. 

Looks like MLB.com will be streaming it live as well.

I agree that they don't use it the same way, I was just pointing out that they do have the infrastructure in place to model it similar to MLB

There is a foundation is place for sure.

The NBA has their G-league now.

They do, but it isn't used nearly the same. I don't follow the NBA close enough to know for sure but I think most careers go there to to die rather than to be developed. It certainly isn't used mid season the way MiLB is.

IMO, baseball has the fairest system for kids.  If you're good enough, you can come out from HS.  You know your actual draft position before you have to decide whether to go to/stay in college or come out.  It's a model I think the NBA should adopt.

I agree here.

I'll also add that baseball's minor league system plays a big role in why their system works. It doesn't matter if your 16 or 24, you are going to get time time develop and adjust to being a pro before you are expected to preform. 

Not even one team playing in a super? No bueno.

19. Cardinals
Mayo: Jackson Kowar, RHP, Florida -- Some think Kowar has better raw stuff than his teammate, Singer, albeit with less polish. Kowar's top two pitches are his fastball and changeup, which could remind some in Cardinals Nation of Michael Wacha.
Callis: Shane McClanahan, LHP, South Florida -- Unless one of the premier high school pitchers slide this far -- which isn't uncommon -- a college arm is the most likely pick.

20. Twins
Mayo: Shane McClanahan, LHP, South Florida -- The Twins are said to be mostly looking at college arms or high school bats, so they could opt for someone like Naylor or Schnell in this spot. But we'll stick with college pitching and McClanahan, who has slid a bit because of command issues, but still has a plus-plus fastball from the left side.
Callis: Jackson Kowar, RHP, Florida -- Minnesota could grab the last college pitcher from the second tier before they're all gone. The Twins could be the lone team to make California shortstop Osiris Johnson a first-rounder, and Denaburg, Larnach and Naylor also are possibilities.

I agree, they’ve greatly underachieved.

I agree, there was a clear blueprint for this team to be much more successful and we missed that mark.  It's not like this team was void of talent.

Villar redemption was nice to see. 

Our pitching is just not that good right now. 

Luckily our two best conference tournament pitchers are on deck

#inSullyandWisleywetrust

If you throw strikes and they hit it, I find it hard to blame the pitcher. Above all else, the pitchers fundamental job is to throw strikes. If you do that, I will never blame the pitcher. He either should have never been in that position, or the offense was hot.  

Walks on the other hand.........  and runs from four consecutive walks.....

It was big for him to throw his season high in pitches when we needed him. Keep us from using more arms. He was done for the next couple days after throwing 3, so good for him by taking one for the team and going out for another.

I agree.

I don't like him in six out save situations but CBM's hands are tied there. It was huge for him to rebound and hold out till the offense could come through. 

Ap got the job done, not sure there is anything left in him for this regional.
