Los Angeles Angels 2022 MLB Draft Thread

Just watched a video on Caden Dana...he's got the dreaded inverted W. Schedule the TJ now or later?

obviously it remains to be seen, but i feel like perry has done well with his two drafts. i think he might have taken the wrong player with the 13th pick, i feel like barriera was the guy, but i don't know what he knows. all the other picks seem like good organization building picks. i think that should be acknowledged, at least.

i agree. Would have liked another arm at 13 but if someone they believe was better falls to them then i think they made the right choice.

He seems to be drafting based on projectability. Even if that means its a pitcher with just 1-2 plus pitches it gives the system something to work with.

Casey Dana was drafted as a of'er. Read that he had played some 3b at Seton Hall.

The pitchers drafted last year seemed to focus on starters. This draft seems to have gone after relievers. With the exception of the high schooler.

One more pick to go, then we start looking out for posts from John Smith.

Good Luck to all players halos have drafted.

Three pitchers from Ok. State

Interesting

[John Smith]

Caden, an All-State first-team selection and Kentucky commit, told NJ Advance Media he’s planning to sign with the Angels after his brother was drafted.

Caden was round 11?

Perry is a sneaky sob. Gotta love it

I gotta say, this looks like a pretty good draft. Jury is still out, what allot of potential and also also of bust! Really Love the pitching side of the draft, and also adding Power to the system. Hopefully when we look back in 5 years, we'll talk about the talent that is up.

He only uses 1 spray of Drakkar.

Yep, combining the 2021 and 2022 drafts

Not an Angel but Brewers found a harder throwing Pat Venditte (but sounds like he's going to school)
