The Official 2018 Amateur Draft Thread

Why would they draft a shortstop? They've got tons of middle infield prospects.

Right? Adams is pretty Eppler-esque.

Angels may be banking on catching another deal on someone with their 2nd pick, sort of per the usual of late.

[Docwaukee]

Not excited about Adams.  Hope he's not the guy.  

[rafibomb]

damn it's adams.

[Cdaniel]

F*ck

[HaloRed]

Ethan Hankins that he repeats his pitches well?  Did Gubi have a say on this one?

[Angelsjunky]

WTF. I don't get it.

[tdawg87]

Franchise over.

[rafibomb]

Eppler LOVES his athletes

Angels stocking up with OFers for when they lose Trout after 2020

Slightly under on 1st round slot, and slightly over on 2nd round slot to maximize the 2 picks?

[Angelsjunky]

Jordon Adell

Jordyn Adams

[Tyler]

Great pick!

[tdawg87]

More like Bordym Adams

[Angel Oracle]

Is Eppler underwhelmed with the college pitchers still available?

Does this mean that Gilbert was likely their first choice, and Adams was their fallback?

[Inside Pitch]

This is exactly what I was told.....

That's basically their MO. 

And I know it doesn't have much bearing on the big-league team, but another top OF prospect in the system makes it a little easier to deal one...

[Angelsjunky]

So what about second round, mr. Insider?

Bad pick. McClanahan is a lefty who throws high 90s touching 100, projected as a reliever. I would have picked him if Singer had health issues. We are fine in the outfield. Pitching wins.
