I was hoping for a SP personally

Dude has a really pretty swing. I like this pick.

I admit I don't follow draft stuff very much.  In baseball they're still usually years away.  It feels like angels always take high school kids first picks. Someone give the lowdown on this kid.

Erstad resigns as head coach of Nebraska 

[Second Base]

So we drafted a 2B, who is expected to be ready quickly. That's cool and everything except that we already have Fletcher, Rengifo and La Stella capable of playing 2B. And Rengifo and Fletcher are likely in the long term plans. Maybe even Jones.

Seems like there were better picks on the board. Maybe I'm wrong.

So what? What is the fascination with him?

And why post that in this thread?

MLB teams don’t draft for “need.” They draft the player that has, in their opinion, the best chance at achieving the most value.

I agree with your assessment. If we were drafting "best available" I think we let one go with Jackson Rutledge. I'm sure there's a lot more behind the scenes we don't know about, but I don't think we drafted a position of need or best available.

He’s  going to move to 2B

[angelsnationtalk]

Does anyone else really want to see Rece Hinds fall into our hands in round 2?

assuming we get a position player.

I’m guessing he’ll get a opportunity to manage a team

Resigned to spend more time with his family. We'll see how long that lasts

don't be too sure of that.  

[Hufflepuff]

Hopefully we save money with our 1st round pick, and can throw more money at our 2nd round pick. Get a high ceiling high school kid that's slipped down the draft board like Hunter Barco.

[Billy_Ball]

Second Base?

 

[Docwaukee]

He's not a 2bman just because someone on mlb network thinks he might be.  

[krAbs]

So like...does anyone know anything about this kid? Scouting report or anything?
