2013 amateur draft

[Philabuster5]

We need a thread for this!!!
Unfortunately I'm stuck working following strictly on twitter...
But, these guys will be listed (at least on cbs) by the time they sign.
In one league, we draft in 2 weeks any draftees. I'm building there and have picks one and two.
It's an exciting night ahead...one of, if not, my baseball favourite.
Anybody else have immediate fantasy ramifications from tonight?
In my home league, 7 guys already rostered, some from 2 years ago haha.

Anyway....take this thread any direction you see fit.
I'm planning to draft 2 of Frazier, Gray and Bryant in that one league. Appel swiped last year at this time (I don't think I'd have taken him anyway)

Or are these guys not interesting yet in most leagues? (minors rules sure vary league to league)

Top 10 MLB Draft Prospects

Y! SPORTS

 

[Philabuster5]

I'm glad I have 2 wks to sort out my top 2 picks.
Ouch!!
Gray to Colorado and Frazier to the team I loathe.
Cubs screwed it all up for fantasy players everywhere.

Dominic Smith! Whoo-Hoo!


So...is he any good?

 

[Chef99]

Hey...earlier, Harold Reynolds said he wouldn't be surprised to see this kid Appel pitching in the majors by July...this is a bit of an overreaction, yes?

 

[Philabuster5]

Big exaggeration.
Reynolds is an idiot.

Domonic Smith in my limited knowledge was a super grab by the Mets...huge power.

 

[Chef99]

I wasn't totally paying attention but I got the impression that the MLB guys were criticizing the Cardinals for picking this kid Gonzalez at #19.

I dunno, I think i'd be willing to give St. Louis the benefit of the doubt. They've been pretty good so far.

 

[Philabuster5]

I think the cards had their typical awesome first day.
I wanted the Tigers to grab Kaminsky at 28 and this mercado kid looks really good too.
You're right Chef to trust them!!

Scout.com: Gonzales, Kaminsky lead Cardinals draft day 1
