Looks like Gerrit Cole is going to the Pirates with the first overall pick.
Will be interesting to see which Boras clients fall to the teams who think slot money is for pussies. Meanwhile my team is under the auspices of MLB so Im pretty sure we're gonna sign some 17 year old with no desire whatsoever to go to college..

If I was with an AL team with a late-ish pick I would try to grab this goon.

the Giants take a short stop with their first pick, not pitching which it seems every other team has done.

Angels took that schlub from Utah I posted about upthread at 17 then he informed them he played all last year with a tear in his labrum that will have to be dealt with at some point.
I also don't get how the Angels ran Napoli out of town this offseason and then drafted a dude just like him today.

The Rays signed their top 14 picks and 20 of their top 21, despite sticking to slot.

"I read that teams went nuts on this draft anticipating hard slot money $s with the next CBA."
Also supposed to be a really strong draft. I've read that a hard slot is pretty unlikely.
