    Rooting for Bobby Witt; went to the same HS as me and could possibly be the best DFW athlete in recent memory if not ever

    Haha reading all the free online scouting reports, analyzing college stats, and watching YouTube clips. Not saying I’m an expert by any means.

    I don’t understand why they picked him. BPA? I might be asking a very dumb question

    Apparently his grandpa lives in the general vicinity of the Salt Lick. They asked him about his favorite barbecue spot earlier

    Ah, gotcha, yep he's a local up here. Interesting that the Rangers picked Jung over him.

    Pretty predictable 1st round so far. Cavaco has been the only surprise being drafted significantly higher than his ranking.

    gotta say...picking this late in the draft is so refreshing. back to where we should be, boys. lets pick last every f'ing year. it'll be interesting to see how luhnow and co do in this draft with the weak slots and post-FO purge. I think our int'l slot numbers are better, though, so hopefully we make good moves there as well. If we can just land a steady #3ish pitcher, I'd be ecstatic with the return there.

    At this pace, the game is probably going to start before the Astros make their pick.

    Priester, Shewmake, and Toglia also taken earlier. Praying that Davidson falls 7 more spots to us.

    Malone or Davidson would be awesome. Goss, Busch, or Johnson would be ok.
