Wanted to have a place to talk all things MLB Draft 2021. From the Longhorns headed to the show to your favorite teams screw ups (looking at your Rangers)  

Schedule 

Spoiler
Rounds Date Time (ET) Viewing
1/Comp Balance A Sunday, July 11 7:07 p.m. ESPN/MLB Network
2-10/Comp Balance B Monday, July 12 1 p.m. MLB.com
11-20 Tuesday, July 13 Noon MLB.com

 

Compulsory, "which recruits are we worried about losing to the draft" question. 

Thanks for the placeholder.  Even at just 20 rounds this year, I think we're gonna see a lot of Longhorns go, but ownership groups have made it known they're not gonna spend 40-50 rounds of money on just the 20 rounds.  And the continued compression of MiLB levels/clubs, not as many places to park latter round guys either.  Another big difference this year is the signing date moving to 1 August, three weeks later than usual.  We won't have to wait long to see who shows up on campus after that.  

Like most of sports this year, I think most of the projections are about to go out of the window.  

Is the A&M QB prospect still looking like being a 2nd or 3rd rd pick?

Won't know until next year since he's only a Junior

Wow. I’m betting nobody had that 1-2-3 selection combo predicted correctly.

Madden should go 13 to Phillies or 14 to Giants.  If Arte Moreno wasn't so cheap, Halos would have popped him at 9, instead of cutting underslot deal with Bachman.  Although tonight has been crazy so who knows.

Hmm... Giants may grab dropping Watson here.  I want Ty to get his money, but I"m glad the Rockies didn't draft him.

No doubt Bednar improved his stock with his CWS performance. He should send us a thank you card.

Orioles take Cowser at 5.

Been a good few months for Sam Houston 

Yankees could use him right now

Ty getting passed over by others. He didn't end the season as strongly as he started. Could be why. So, how far does he have to drop to give any hope that he'll come back for another year? I'm guessing he would have to fall to the 2nd round.

He’s not coming back.

I know he's not. Purely wishful thinking.

Madden to the Yankees? i hope not. hope the Cubs take him at 21. 

How would you feel about a Kansas St Wildcat?

Cuskick to ATL?  It's weird the way Ty is falling.  People are scrambling to find out why.

All I can think is he’s been a 2 pitch pitcher. Barely throwing the change may have hurt. 

But that can be fixed with coaching.

Repeatable over the top deliver which is great for fastball/slider, not so good for changeup.

Cusick is seen by many scouts as a reliever;  Williams has one of the hinkiest deliveries in the entire draft.  Madden has classic starter mold.  

Since Henry James seems to be confident in his connection to the Madden circle, perhaps he will offer up his two cents on what happens if Madden doesn't go in round 1?

And a potential cross post to the recruiting thread, no Bubba Chandler selection would indicate he wants big, big money not to go become the next great Clemson QB.

On to the supplmenental 7 picks. 

 1st round done, and now to compensation picks. Ty still waiting

You seem very certain.  He's certainly a no-brainer at this point.

He'll still bolt for $1.75mm.  Just a question of the franchise...

Yes, I am certain that were done with the 1st round. And yes, I'm certain we're on to compensation picks, and yes, I'm certain that Ty is still waiting. Am I missing something?
