MLB Draft 2011 -- Day Two Discussion Thread

Moving into Day Two of the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft, with the Rangers picking today at #83 (with their second round pick), #113 (with their third round pick), and #144 (with their fourth round pick). They'll pick every 30th pick thereafter for the rest of the draft.
SBN Dallas takes a look at the best prospects still on the board right now. The first two picks that the Texas Rangers made yesterday are guys that are expected to be relatively easy signs, guys who will sign quickly for at or around slot.
That means that, today, you could see the Rangers get more aggressive, in terms of targeting players who are expected to be tougher signs. Josh Bell, for example, is still on the board, despite talk that he wouldn't make it out of the first round yesterday. Kevin Goldstein says he thinks Bell's price to sign will be $6.5 million, which is a huge number for a guy not seen as a top 5 talent...but now is the point in the draft where a team may grab him and hope to get him for less.
Anyway, discuss today's rounds here...

I wonder how long Meo stays on the board
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
if that's the case
sign me up for Charlie Lowell. Big lefty from Wichita State with two solid pitches already.

violent in a bad way?

Meo would be nice if he's on the board when we pick
Osich wouldn’t be terrible, either.

I wonder if there's a particular scout that covers that region
who is just more emphatic about the guys he thinks are good or maybe he’s a more trusted scout than others…
Been wondering this all night.
The best we can hope for at this point is that he’s held accountable.

Arizona has to be loving life this morning
getting Bauer, Bradley and Chafin, that’s three really good college arms that should come quickly.
Tampa Bay had a solid draft and took a lot of prep guys. It will be interesting to see how it works out for them. Besides Guerrieri and Goeddel, they look like pretty easy signs.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
I'm actually not overly impressed with Tampa's draft so far.
I knew the rumors of a $15 million budget had to be wrong.

They're not going to sign Bell.
I have no idea why they took him.
"I hope the image of my erect penis sears into your brain." by ab03 on Mar 24, 2011 9:13 PM CDT
Did anyone else read JD's comment re yesterday's picks?
We would not have taken these guys if they weren’t ready to go out and play quickly.
Which is essentially saying that they wouldn’t have taken them if they weren’t ready to sign quickly. It makes me wonder if we will continue that trend today.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
I'm all for taking guys who will sign and play
it is one thing to dilly-dally with a top caliber guy. It is another thing to waste a year of development time on someone who is going to need three or four.
Go Rice Owls!
Would be a Matt Harrison fan, but I only like superstars
It doesn't surprise me that the Rangers would also like this attitude in their draft picks

I will wager many many internets they don't sign Cole and Bell.
"I hope the image of my erect penis sears into your brain." by ab03 on Mar 24, 2011 9:13 PM CDT
oh they'll sign Cole
I’ll wager the whole internet. They have been spending recently. They’ll have the same shot at Bell as anyone else.

I meant both together.
I know they’ll sign Cole. I just don’t think they sign them both.

probably a college guy. This team isn’t above drafting for need (see two straight college 3B).

“Most of the scouts I talk to, they want me to go out and play center field,” Lamb said.

Richmond Hill finished the season with an 11-11 record, but Matthews earned All-Greater Savannah honors for the second year in a row by compiling a 4-2 record with a 1.68 ERA. He struck out 94 batters in just 41 2/3 innings.

He really struggled out of the gate this season
but started to pick it up as the year went on. He had a little bit of an injury in the regional against Florida and didn’t play in the elimination game. I’m surprised he went as high as he did considering a HUGE dip in power numbers.

Good thing we got #22 on a regional list with the 113th overall pick.

In a way,
I almost feel better about them sticking to this plan. If you’re in a place that you only need one or two impact guys from your farm each year, then why not take 10 crazy athletes with the hope that one or two work out?

I'm not typing out a full response on an iPhone.
It’s a tremendously foolish approach that will bite you in the ass. People bring up Olt and LuJack, but Olt is and was more polished than any of these guys, and Jackson was the one overslot guy from last year that went where people thought he should go. I don’t see the Rangers going overslot (by much) on any of the guys they’ve taken so far.
by LiamP on Jun 7, 2011 12:36 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
It's not my preferred plan by any means.
But don’t we have to admit that sheer randomness means that at least one or two players from each draft class will probably work out? And if that’s the case, why not have it be a high ceiling guy?
I dunno, I’m try to talk myself into this here.

I think that when your earliest pick is #33
you could argue this is the best strategy (outside of overpaying for signability guys).
Like you said, if you can get one top 100 guy a year from the draft, when picking this late (when no guy is guaranteed to be top 100) then you’re doing pretty well. But guys like Osich just will never be there.
Last year was a terrible draft for everyone, and they managed to get a probable top 100 guy (Olt) and a bright prospect (Jackson) anyway through this strategy. Which I would define not as just taking athletes, but rather taking guys who have fallen because they are just high risk athletes or for some other reason (play in a non-prospect league – Olt; too short – Matthews)

Mike Olt appreciates your concern, but he was worried he was taking too much spotlight..
away from the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, so he faked an injury and wishes you put the focus back on the Myrtle Beach Pelicans rather than himself.

I think this is the wrong direction for the meme.
I prefer the Olt is Professor X and Cone is Magneto. They both want the same things but have different ways of going about it.
But they don’t do this to each other.
