Callis has Cole Wilcox and Mayo has Mick Abel in their final mocks. Guess I could always look this up, but was it because Callis had Abel going ahead of 17?

Only 15 first rounders all time being in the Hall of Fame is a pretty insane stat.

Not much suspense Torkelson goes 1st.

Not much suspense Torkelson goes 1st. Listed as a third baseman, though. Man, if he sticks there, the surplus value his offense could provide would be insane.

I know ESPN doesn't really give too much weight to college baseball normally, but you'd think they'd know enough to know that comparing his exit velocities with a metal bat to Aaron Judge with a wood bat is a bit flawed.

Wow Orioles did throw a curveball on everyone.

I wonder about the rumor of one of the teams punting in the top 10. This seems like that feel to me.

FYI - Eric Longenhagen is tipping the picks. Sounds like another weird one coming up.

Wow...a surprise pick didn't take long. They must be saving a bounty to spend on their next couple of picks.

I'll put out a general request to not tip the picks in here for anyone simultaneously watching the draft and following the thread.

Orioles are either being cheap or planning on going wild in rounds 2-5 We'll see. If they lowball him, they can get the comp for next year. I feel as though Kjerstad is one of the most overrated prospects in the draft. His contact rates are alarming!

This was already going to be a weird draft....but I didn't expect it would be this weird. I have no idea who is going to be available at #17.

Wow the Blue Jays will get one of the Consensus top 3 players. Not saying that means much but getting a Martin would be a coup.

He's the best hitter in the draft.

Wonder where he ends up on the field in TOR. The infield is so loaded. CF?

Things seem to be stabilizing a little after those picks at 2 and 3.

Will the Padres take the first HS player in this draft? They can pick between Veen and Hassell which I'm sure they didn't expect...

Padres go with Hassell over Veen. Interesting...

Damn Hassell over Veen. Yo let’s get Veen to drop to 17.
