Who did they do that with? Jed Lowrie, for one. I was asked by the team to look into whether declining statistically from the previous college year was a red flag. In my model, the previous year was not significant, so I said no (and the model already liked Lowrie, based on the relative down year). Jed Hoyer's reply was "Interesting. Bill James had it the other way." So I may have had some influence on that pick (though I suspect I just made them feel better about something they wanted to do). I get a kick seeing Lowrie still playing 16 years later. Thanks. The first example of a player they picked who had been better the year before that I was thinking of was JBJ. OPS close to 1000 as frosh and sophomore, then .778 senior year. I think there are more, but all a while ago.

Any interest in getting P Chase Petty at #40? Thanks. Got a pretty violent delivery and for a high school pitcher that's kinda scary.

Eric A Longenhagen KG and I are still trying to ascertain who is going 1. Pittsburgh hasn't tipped their hand and nothing concrete coming thru the agents right now.

On Leiter trying to get to Boston...
Kevin Goldstein They are definitely still trying, according to a source picking ahead of them that I spoke to a couple of minutes ago......still don't think the gambit works.

Wasn't Vitek a guy like that too? We don’t say that name around here anymore!

Not player related but the draft coverage is just rough on MLB. As someone that watches the NFL and NBA drafts religiously, the MLB draft is so far behind and the crew doing the MLB network is not good. Super awkward and very little feel for making an enjoyable draft night.
