Starts now on ESPN/MLB Network. Unprecedented circumstances have made this one of the most interesting drafts we will ever see.

Four picks in and you can pretty much throw every mock draft out the window.

One Texas commit down the drain so far, right? 

NM, I’m an idiot. Kelley is the 3rd best available right now. Not been picked yet. I’ll get my shit together one of these days, but not today 

Compensatory picks coming now.  There are like 8, which will complete tonight’s selections.

A highly ranked HS prospect sliding like Kelley is usually indicates signability questions. Hook Em!

First time in draft history that the first 7 picks were all from college.

Kjerstad is a bitch. Glad to not see him playing college ball anymore. 

I usually get unhealthily into the draft every year. Didn’t realize it was even going until late last night. Unusual year for sure, surprised they’re even holding it.

Just went in the 2nd. 47th overall

 

Can we get a summary on draftees? Current and commits?

Only 35 UDFA signings so far. Only 4 are in Baseball America’s top 500 with #429 being the lowest. Quite a departure from the not so distant past when well over 1000 players would be drafted. The college and JC rosters are going to be jammed.

A lot of DRAFTED kids are getting buttfucked in negotiations.  First example is extreme $20k for college junior in $650k slot, but many of the college kids are getting well below slot.  I assume the HS kids will be the benefactors in this.

 

You get the gist.  This is happening almost across the board.

The teams are really jamming the draftees and UDFAs. I read where some teams are offering UDFA 2021 $20k contracts instead of 2020.
