Keith Law had Calabrese ranked number 19 on his big board, Baseball America has him at 67 and Fangraphs at 73.

From MLB Network on Calabrese. I like the pick. When you can get the top amateur in all of Canada in the 3rd round, DO IT! 

Best available. Best available with the next two picks please.  

[Vlad27Trout27]

I'll Take it!

[HaloBronco]

OK, best player available from where we were picking but we need pitching. 

 

Also we need some help at catcher and corner infielders as well. 

 

Maybe we trade some outfielders for some arms (isn't OF the postition we have the most depth at)?

Isn’t he committed to University of Arkansas?

What’s the word on signability ? I’ll presume being taken 2nd is a big deal for this kid and he’ll sign but you do wonder if some of the analyst types had him ranked higher then where he went. 

[Chuck]

I'm guessing they already had the money and sign-ability questions answered before making the pick. 

There's no way they burn a 3rd round pick after not having a 2nd rounder.

You’d presume.  Anyway exciting pick for sure !

On a scale from Cody Bellinger to Mike Trout, how good will he be?

As with most things, he'll probably fall somewhere in the middle.

So am I 

[aznhockeyguy]

They'll most likely go over slot here and then go under slot on the 5th rounder.

Calabrese=Benintendi

If he progresses nicely it would take the sting out of losing Jordyn Adams in a package for a pitching upgrade.
