Griffin Canning

Sounds like a great value pick. Guess there were some medical concerns with his shoulder which is why he dropped but considering the state of this farm I'm all in on this team taking risks for high upside. Love what Eppler and his staff have done the past 2 years. Trying to infuse this org with less safe floor, low upside guys. Lot more risk for sure, but a lot more upside and this team needs upside

I thought this was going to be about the Angels firing their first base coach.

Pedro didn't have a big frame either.

When I saw the title, I was trying to figure out what Alfredo Griffin could have done to get fired.

He taught Trout how to slide.

No, and No...    Just not a big guy and his MRI showed something that created risk.   Whether it was simply signs of fatigue or an issue -- nobody has any real knowledge of.

College is a rough place for pitchers. A short season but the coaches ride good arms into the ground because they have no more than four seasons and they are gone. They have zero concerns for the players, they are essentially free and every year they get a new crop. So if a guys shoulder starts to fray they really don't have that long term contract to worry about.

I hope the Angels were able to get as much health information as possible before making this pick. This crap about pitchers just  reaching MLB and elbows exploding is getting tiring as a fan.

I wish I could read a thread about an Angels prospect or current player which does not contain the terms "MRI" or "medical issues".

Just one story where the guy is healthy and capable of playing baseball.

I don't believe in caning Alfred Griffin under any circumstances, no matter what kind of boneheaded mistakes he makes coaching.  It is cruel and unusual punishment.

Is there any chance this kid might go back and finish his senior year in college?

Probably not after going in the second round. Perhaps if he had really fallen he might've thought he could recoup some value by going back in next year.

His favorite team growing up was the Angels. Pretty cool.

Doubtful...would lose any leverage he currently has. So, unless he thought he was going to come back and go in top few picks it would make zero sense for him to go back into draft.

More wear and tear on the arm. Probably not, unless the Angels just low ball him terribly...

The same chance Espinosa has of winning the triple crown this year.

Fight on 

Did anyone draft a Trojan yet?  Didn't they come dead last in the PAC-12?  By all means, keep fighting.  Only one direction to go from the bottom.

Everyone under 30 has two last names.  

Because women are stupid and men have no balls.  Now 1/2 of the country's young people have a former president's last name as their first name.  Very sad.  Very stupid.

Just white people, mostly in or around Orange County

I'm just seeing Frankie Rios in the 17th Round on the MLB site, a shortstop.  Perhaps the pitcher was a commit but not a player?

I know they had two commits who were drafted early.
