WALLY JOYNER IN DA HOUSE! DRAFT THREAD - MLB NETWORK... Read RGHAN'S Draft Preview here. The Angels have 5 of the first 40 picks of the MLB draft. The first round begins at 4:00 PM on the MLB Network. The 2nd round is tomorrow. There are many mock drafts out there with educated guesses and random hunches. A good one is at SBN's MLB Bonus Baby, a great baseball draft site. Here is what we know about the Angels draft strategy:
- High risk, high reward players are okay
- Players wanting over slot (bonuses exceeding those received by the draft picks nearest them) will still be drafted.
- They like high school players, especially pitchers.
- They draft according to a player's perceived ceiling (the best case scenario of the player's potential in the major leagues) as opposed to out of any organizational "need".
- In recent history, the Angels scouting in Florida has been especially successful
Because they lost free agents John Lackey and Chone Figgins, the Angels receive the first round picks of those teams as well as a supplemental pick before the 2nd round. Add in their regular pick and that is 5 picks out of the first 40 players.
The Angels get:
Pick #18 (was the Mariners pick, compensation for the signing of Desmond DeChone)
Pick #29 (was the Red Sox pick, compensation for the signing of Thunder Lackey)
Pick #30 - their pick
Pick #37 - Supplemental pick for losing Figgy
Pick #40 - Supplemental pick for losing Benedict Lackey.
In the 2nd round (broadcast tomorrow) they have the 81st pick. In the 3rd round the have the 111th pick and have the 115th pick as compensation for not signing a high draft pick (J. Spence) in last year's draft.

Too bad there aren't any great power hitters in this draft behind Harper and Machado
If Josh Sale is there and we don’t grab him i think i’ll cry
Which player has the coolest name?
Delino DeShields Jr?

is it possible to trade draft pick? do they even have enough value to get other players?

Nope
Earliest is in 2011 (can’t trade a draft pick for a year. We can’t trade our 2009 selections yet. Only perhaps as a PTBNL.

and they call him as an OF??
that’s a surprise
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
Not really
They’ve been talking about it for awhile and the Nats already have a really well regarded young catcher.
his bat is way more valuable as a catcher
that’s the surprise
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34
Yep, he was announced as OF Bryce Harper.
Sounds like the Nats want his bat as soon as possible
Doubt it, the only reason why he's an OF in Scott Boras
He demanded he be signed or drafted as an OF.
"He’s not a Rhodes Scholar to begin with, obviously." -Theo Epstein talking about Jon Papelbon.
"OMG, I think I'm gonna barf!" Halowood's reaction to Fuentes facing a Right Handed Batter.
I forgot about that, but it also gets his bat to the bigs quicker than as a C.
It’s possible the Nationals decided they were fine with him as an OF, once Boras said Harper wouldn’t be a catcher.
Scouts have given him an 80 arm
Which was one of the big reasons people wanted him at catcher
But also potentially more injury issues
So plus points and negatives
by TheQuestforMerlin on Jun 7, 2010 4:14 PM PDT up reply actions
I think that's debatable
Do you waste 2 years of his bat while his catcher skills develops in the minors vs. getting him up into the majors and selling tickets quickly
Then there’s the durability issues
Yeah, there's a reason Minnesota
Have been talking about moving Mauer to 1B at some point. His bat is actually too valuable to lose to ‘catcher attrition’
by TheQuestforMerlin on Jun 7, 2010 4:16 PM PDT up reply actions
There's the flipside though
Why were Mauer’s accomplishments the past couple years considered so extraordinary? It’s because no catcher has ever done those things. Having that kind of production at catcher is extremely valuable, way more than having that production in the OF.
Now whether or not the time to develop him would decrease the value enough to move him, I don’t know. It’s an interesting question.

Totally
We have never had that question with Mathis. He is (or at least was prior to this year) essentially worthless offensively outside of OF!

From Harper's interviews
it sounds like all he cares about is hitting the ball. He seems more suited as an outfielder in that sense.

I'm guessing Taillon goes 2nd.

I love this from the Seattle PI (or what's left of it)
After a visit to the Mariners clubhouse to see the vacancy in the locker once occupied by Ken Griffey Jr., followed by watching one-time Mariners prodigy Joel Pineiro pitch well enough to win for his new team, the Los Angeles Angels, over his old team, a thought occurred:
What if Griffey came back — as an Angel?
Or an Atlanta Brave? Or New York Yankee?
Not saying I’ve heard anything. But if he were to show up elsewhere, we know what would happen: A September of six home runs, 20 RBI and a .265 average, helping lead a drive with his new team into the postseason.
Leaving the livery of the Mariners appears to be cure for whatever ails. An elixir, a tonic, a career bowel cleanser

OT: MLB 2k10 pales in comparison to MLB 10: The Show
I made a rookie 3B for the Angels on MLB 2k10.
In just 1 month, he was able to make the majors and play for a couple weeks. Then, in his rookie season, he had a stat line of: .412 BA, 275 H (broke Ichiro’s record), 50 2B, 90 Runs, 38 HR, 152 RBI, .448 OBP, .652 SLG, 1.100 OPS.

Does the Big Club’s current and near-future needs color & contaminate the process more than the “best available player” rhetoric would have us believe?
Near future needs play into it but its based on what is currently in the system not the Big Team so much
most of these guys take awhile to mature into the player they will one day be. Often you take the best player available early in the draft but later on its about filling needs and positions so those high drafts have some teammates lol

Yeah, they finally moved Figgy to 9th...
When they finally pull their heads out and bat him leadoff and Ichibutt 3rd it will be way too late
We could've had this pick
if Ollie refused arb.
It never would’ve happened, but can you imagine?
I took your stash.
Is Izzy hurt again?
He’s not in the lineup, AGAIN.
Erick, SS
Howard, 2B
Bobby, RF
Torii, CF
Hideki, DH
Mike, 1B
Juan, LF
Kevin, 3B
Bobby, C
It must be that time of day, the time to focus on sports.
he was listed as Day to Day on ESPN

I don't really like that pick
Mainly because the Dodgers were on him, and now I have no idea who they’ll take. I hope Aaron Sanchez falls to the Angels.

Doyers are gonna take whoever the angels want just to rub it in those bastards lol

And then trade him for a bench player
while their pick goes on to become a superstar
I took your stash.
This scout is a close friend and is the one that pushed the club for Stanton,,,has 2 guys that will have made the bigs from the 2008 draft
He knows bats!!

I've seen good things about Yelich from other scouts
I don’t think this was much of an overdraft
Defending maligned chants since 2009
Like I said their area scout is a great evaluator of the bat
2008 was his 1st yr as a scout he has Stanton making his MLB debut from that draft while another already has from that year.

"bat reminds them of Casey Kotchman"
Another diss?
The Saaaaan Fran cisco Giants.
Selig must not pay much attention to the great state of California..
It must be that time of day, the time to focus on sports.
In all fairness,
Anything that goes on in the Pacific Time Zone is way past Selig’s bed time.

With Trout, Top 5
Without Trout, probably closer to 25.
It must be that time of day, the time to focus on sports.
lol....not even close to top 5 even with trout
With the guys we got last year I’d think we’re in the late teens or early 20’s
Yeah, I know.
I was talking up Trout more than I was talking up our system. I honestly have no idea where our system ranks, I just like Trout..
It must be that time of day, the time to focus on sports.
Trout certainly helps
Probably brings them up to the 15 – 20 range. Conger’s hitting has helped as well.

Wow another surprise!
I think Stetson goes to the Cards…hope im wrong which i probably am

San Francisco seems like they've drafted to populate a 19th century novel.
Until Brown.

Now THAT'S an overdraft
Brown shouldn’t have gone until the supplemental, at least.

Depends whos left...
I think if Allie and O’Connor are there we take both or possibly Ranuado or Tago

by angelskid2210 on Jun 7, 2010 6:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Allie, Jenkins, Sanchez are probably the top 3 prep arms left
Renaudo would be a risk, and I don’t see it given their first pick.

the Cards know how to throw a draft!
who was the hottie in the red dress??
Thank you, Nick Adenhart. You will always be remembered. #34

Though I bet you HR already has dibs on that
Brown seems like an over draft?

Lots of options still on the board.
Castellanos
Allie
O’Conner
Cole
Jenkins
Tago
Wojciechowski
Bedrosian
Ranaudo
What is Tago projecting to be?

I like 3 or 4 of those.
I’m hoping and praying Allie stays on the board, I don’t think he will.

Allie might drop to us and we'll probably pass since he wants $2 milion and already $3 million gone.
And the halo shines tonight
We need to open our wallets for these guys
its the only way to get the talent damnit lol

Or Wilson....
