If you don't mind

[Big Nasty 34]

I think it's interesting that Houston picked Bregman with their first pick especially with correa as their supposed future.

[TikiHog]

Bregman wont end up at SS

[Big Nasty 34]

Bregman to third I suppose if Altuve remains in Houston

[JHicks3636]

The Colorado Rockies select
3. Brendan Rodgers, SS, HS

Texas is up next

[jry04]

Bregman to third I suppose if Altuve remains in Houston

2B...

Won't put Bregman at third as a contact hitter.

[AirForceHog]

SS is a premium right now.

[JHicks3636]

The Texas Rangers pick
4. Dillon Tate, RHP, UC-Santa Barbara

Houston will have its second selection in the top 5 next

[JHicks3636]

The Houston Astros use its 2nd pick of the top 5 picks on
5. Kyle Tucker, OF, HS
Brother of Astro player Brock Tucker

Minnesota is set to pick next

[flippinhogmana]

most projections have somewhere about 16-17 high school players first round.  Of the rest, five are projected from the SEC, most of them high in the first.

[SPAL]

If you don't mind

Certainly. I was hoping somebody would

[JHicks3636]

The Minnesota Twins select
6. Tyler Jay, LHP, Illinois-Champagne

The Boston Red Sox will go next

[hoglady]

If he makes it to the BoSox they will take him IMO.  They like them Hogs

I hope so.
Would love to see him in centerfield for my Red Sox.

[Richard_white]

What pick does the Dodgers have in the first?

[bulldog04]

Daz Cameron may not go in the 1st

[SPAL]

Congrats to BennyBaseball!

Question, has any Hog been drafted higher?

[cubsfan5150]

Damn it

[cubsfan5150]

Jeff King, 1.1

[3of5-2]

reminds him of Donnie Baseball. Congrats!

[AirForceHog]

Not a fan of the RedSox however glad Benni landed there. Great organization.

[dotnet]

reminds him of Donnie Baseball. Congrats!

Which is a little better than a 13 year old making the same comparison

[trippigs]

WOW......he did it!

[josh_sec33]

At least he could pronounce his last name. Did you hear the commish butcher it?

[dotnet]

Damn it

my thoughts exactly

[hoglady]

The Boston teams really love our Razorbacks.

[TNhawgfan]

Not a sox fan but awesome news for Andrew!

[bulldog04]

I thought the Mark Kotsay comparison was more spot on

[ricepig]

Oh my - I'm a happy Hog and Red Sox fan.
Congrats to Andrew!!!

Yankee fan here, I guess I'll give damn about them if he makes the show.

[GB-Razorback]

7th pick signing bonus last year, $3.3 mil.  Nice.

[JHicks3636]

The Chicago White Sox go with
8. Carson Fulmer, RHP, Vandy
The White Sox only pick tonight as well

The cross town Chicago Cubs will pick now

[flippinhogmana]

The Chicago White Sox go with
8. Carson Fulmer, RHP, Vandy
The White Sox only pick tonight as well

The cross town Chicago Cubs will pick now

four of eight/SEC and all four in the CWS

[dotnet]

7th pick signing bonus last year, $3.3 mil.  Nice.

and AB will have as much leverage as you're going to have.  An SEC POY who can return without losing any leverage? ... pretty nice...

[JHicks3636]

The Chicago Cubs draft
9. Ian Happ, OF, Univ of Cincinnati

The Philadelphia Phillies are up next

[JHicks3636]

The Philadelphia Phillies go with
10. Cornelius Randall, SS, HS

Cincinnati will get the next player

[jry04]

I know this is somewhat off topic, but Aaron Fitt said today that he thinks if Jackson keeps up dominating he could be #1 overall next year.

[SPAL]

Gonna be a deep pitching class next year.

[JHicks3636]

The Cincinnati Reds select
11. Tyler Stephenson, C, HS

The Miami Marlins will make its choice next

[Flatline]

So awesome for him. Boston is not my favorite but they are on top 5  He is going to a great organization.

Was hoping Dodgers so I might get to see him play in OKC 

[SPAL]

The Cincinnati Reds select
11. Tyler Stephenson, C, HS

The Miami Marlins will make its choice next

NOOOOO

Screw the reds.

[jry04]

Gonna be a deep pitching class next year.

Really deep, so for him to even mention it shows how much respect Jackson has. Not that we didn't already know that, though.

[JHicks3636]

The Miami Marlins dial up
12. Josh Naylor, 1B, HS
A Canadian player and the first draft surprise

The Tampa Bay Rays will go now

[hoglady]

So awesome for him. Boston is not my favorite but they are on top 5  He is going to a great organization.

Boston does a good job of developing players.
They have a good organization with a good minor league system.
He really ended up in a great spot.

[JHicks3636]

The Tampa Bay Rays choice will represent the halfway point of round 1
13. Garrett Whitley, OF, HS

The Atlanta Braves select now

[SPAL]

Still ticked off that Tyler Stephenson went to cinci. Unreal.
