A's just took Skye Bolt, UNC. Another proven hitter type that "advanced analytic" type teams love.

They were right too... he does have the best "name" in the draft.

Nationals closed out the round by taking Mariano Rivera Jr. Probably a good thing he didn't end up a Yankee just because of pressure and expectations. He doesn't have his Dad's cutter.

Well, his dad wasn't even drafted so there's that.

Which makes it even worse in a way. The greatest relief pitcher in the game's history entered the league with very low expectations. Now his kid enters the league with very high expectations.

Very true. The best advice I think you could tell a guy like that in that situation is, "don't try to be your dad." That has to be incredibly tough. As much as he tries not to be compared to his father's success, it's just inevitable. Tough spot. Hope he does well though. You never know. Look at guys like Prince Fielder, Tony Gwynn Jr, Ken Griffey Jr, etc. There's precedent that he can be his own man here.

MLB guys butchering Ka'Ai Tom's name. I had to learn his pronunciation when Kentucky came to town. It's "Kuh-aye". But whatever.

Good thing here is that we are now in the territory where if our younger players hear their name called, they're likely to stay at school... hopefully.

Great to go after kids that highly sought after but rarely is that swing rewarded with a HR at this level

Not really true. Just because a guy isn't taken in the first 5 rounds doesn't mean he won't leave early. True, the 3 guys who left early in recent years (Chris Hatcher, Brad Holt, Cody Stanley) were all drafted no later than the 5th, but that doesn't preclude it from happening if, say, Gesell hears his name called later on.

Yeah, obviously there's a chance they'd still leave. I didn't say they wouldn't. Likely isn't absolute boss. Lol

Nice! Ramsey was a 12th rounder out of high school. Glad UNCW helped his draft stock in addition to giving him a degree. :)

Round 10 just started.
As boring as this is... it's my excitement for the day. The movers are here packing up my whole house. Bittersweet.
