Official MLB Draft Thread

Have they even taken a pitcher yet? Seems odd but totally understandable.

[mtangelsfan]

Wasn't the third round pick a pitcher?

 

 

Edit, yes, third round pick was Grayson Long (RHP)

 

Grayson, that should be in the OC names thread.

When he Speaks people listen...

We can call him EF for short.

Here's Jahmai Jones:

 

 

 

He's got the bat flip down pat.

I'm just catching up with the draft now. Is it really true that the Angels signed Drew Butera with their first round draft pick? Awesome.

[Angelsjunky]

And Chevy Clarke with their 2nd pick? Even better.

[Angelsjunky]

Might as well cut this off at the pass...

 

And Chevy Clarke with their 2nd pick? Even better.

 

Racist.

[Angelsjunky]

Taylor Ward really sounds like a head-scratcher - there looked like better catching prospects taken later, such as Chris Betts. Would have preferred Daz Cameron.

 

Jahmai Jones looks promising.

I broke into Jerry's office two nights ago trying to find information on their draft choices and all I found was a little folded up yellow piece of paper that said "TW no matter what".

[ukyah]

so, the angels just decided to take this year's draft off then? ok, noted.

[Guest]

And Chevy Clarke with their 2nd pick? Even better.

 

On that note... in 2010 the Angels had five first round picks, and the best player of those five was Cam Bedrosian. No others made it to the show. 

 

This year's first round appears to be as bad if not worse of a screw up.

 He pimped the shit out of that one!!!

I'm not sure there's anything worse than screwing up 5 first round picks

Have you perused our free agent signings?

[Jimmag]

In Jerry we trust

[Ohtaniland]

The Angels have drafted 30 catchers since 2009.

I went back and checked again and yes we have drafted 30 catchers since 2009. Taylor Ward makes 31.

[Hollyw00d]

We gotta strike gold sometime, right?

Right?

31 was Chuck Finley's number -- thus Taylor Ward is "the piece".
