    Time for Mr. Brown to shine. This is why he got him! (Too bad we won’t know for ~4 years how his next few nights bode)

    A few of those mocks have Houston taking Brock Wilken from Wake Forest. He’s a Crawford Boxes fit and I’d be ok with that pick especially if it was a below slot deal.

    I like him as a player but I don't expect him to be on the board when we pick.

    I don't care who they pick but he's a hell of a player.

    I watched him for several many games.

    I feel like he's someone who needs to really refine his approach and could be a boom or bust guy. He looked clueless at times in the CWS

    Who are the names of some folks y’all would like to take in the first two rounds?

    Gelof
    Sykora
    Ledbetter
    Groover
    Naylor
    Bush

    There’s not anybody except Groover that I really really like.

    If Michael Carico is available in the third round tomorrow, I'd like him.

    Liking Arjun Nimmala, maybe he falls to us at 28?

    9 picks away now. Seems like college hitters have been valued the most so far. No HS infielders have been drafted yet.

    Spencer Nivens from Missouri St. is interesting. Porter Brown from Texas is a player I think is extremely underrated.

    If Sykora or Morales last to the Astros pick, they’d be good choices imho.

    I really really like Morales. I think he's got a lot of natural talent as a hitter, not just a masher, and continued development he could be a monster

    I'd personally prefer pitching. Was hoping Waldrep would fall, but I like Floyd too.
