But they are a team that cannot afford to make a 'reach' to obtain an offensive player over more of a 'sure thing' pitcher...

Brian Bashera to the Mets. No one can hit line drives off a rim like that dude. Surely will be a great gap hitter.

Mike is being told he won't fall past 19. He'll go within next 3 I believe.

Absolutely no such thing. Half the pitchers selected are gonna be total bust.

Let's hope the pitcher gets picked soon here too. Maybe the Cardinals will take him so the Arky fans won't know whether to be happy or sad. (lot of Cards/Arky overlap)

LOL at all you idiots. Like a guy from Connecticut could never be a good baseball player. Springer is a stud. They also had a pitcher go a couple spots later and should have another guy taken in the next 20 picks or so I believe.
