At least this draft will be longer than last year's version. The draft league will be interesting to watch.

The early reports from Baseball America…It’s not looking great for this year’s college hitters.

Keith Law wrote about Louisville C Henry Davis today, believes better than Bart and argument for No,1
pick this year

Lots of buzz about Bubba Chandler, HS RHP.. Clemson QB commit but BA guys say industry thinks he picks MLB if first-round pick

From BA’s latest mock draft:
“Bubba Chandler’s range seems to be throughout the entire first round, as high as around No. 9 with the Angels and as low as the back of the first round. We’ve heard the Giants are one of the teams that likes him, but they also might be a team that jumps at the chance to get Gunnar Hoglund—who if healthy wouldn’t have made it outside of the top 10 picks.”

Any new talk of possible targets for the Giants' pick in the 1st round? I haven't seen much but I don't often frequent the places that talk a lot about the draft.

They are both almost guaranteed top 5 picks. They were both in contention for top overall when they came out of HS a couple years ago and neither have hurt their stock in college.

I don't think either Vandy pitcher will be there at 14, but I'd be happy if either Painter or Bednar fell to us.

msg helped me realize the draft started today. I didn't have the dates cemented in my mind and thought it started later this week.

Still cannot figure out if he is related to Brandon but he does have a brother pitching for the Pirates. Cheesy paragraph at the end of this article about MSU 1st rounders named Will.

Honestly I was hoping one of the Vandy aces would be around when we got our turn.

Bednar seems a good pick.

Day 1 of the draft is in the books with a few surprises. Frankly, I'm surprised that Rocker dropped to the Mets at #10. Henry Davis was not expected to be the #1 player in the draft, but the Pirates have a need at catcher and he is an excellent player. Leiter going #2 was not a real surprise to me. Marcelo Mayer to Red Sox is a phenomenal pick. He could solidify the middle of the infield with Downs in Boston for a decade or more.

So two pitchers so far. Not a surprise given the number of position players taken the last couple of drafts.
Its a clear need in the farm. Interesting quotation from Michael Holmes regarding Bednar:
“Although need does sometimes creep into your head, you try to kind of focus on what the player can do and what you think the value is,” Holmes said. “We had a nice little string, since I got here, of college position players that we’re really excited about, but it’s nice to put an arm in the system as well.”
Unless pitchers just happened to be at the top of their list at their turn of every round, I would guess that pitching was a hug priority going into the draft.

This thread was really driven by posters like @GiantsPackersChamps2011 , @SFGRTB , calsnowskier and tzill in years past. I found the Twitter account sfgrtb would use and will post the picks here, starting with the 3rd round guy:
