That would be the best possible scenario. I hope it does motivate him that they should have drafted him sooner. He has electric stuff and is a great talent. If he comes out motivated, he can shut anyone down.Quote:

Or it doesnt matter at all because he already had a deal in place. Who knows.Quote:

Yep. Teams could be going under slot, though at this point in the 1st round that's unlikely. More likely is that the guys who have fallen have done so because a team has told them they will pay them over slot with their next pick.Quote:

Great, glad he got picked by the Cardinals. Last pick in the first round.
Happy for Hudson... Good organization, but I still hate the cards
Hudson is going to the Cardinals and will likely get paid more than $2 million. Bet he's pissed**
Hopefully this gives him motivation to prove to others he deserved to be picked higher. I hope we get a great start out of him tomorrow.
Same here but it least it wasn't the mets.Quote:

Dakota to Cardinals!!! excellent!
I would think the next player/commit would be Robbins, though I'm hoping he doesn't go anywhere.Quote:

There's a chance of just about anything haha. The two guys I'm looking at for the Braves right now are Trammell and Wentz. I would be ok with Reynolds, though. But I'd prefer higher ceiling guys.Quote:

Another pitcher for the braves... I know they're good arms, but jeez... We have no hitters
Haha we may have a 10-man rotation in 2020 throwing shutout after shutout. Possibly the most legit pitching prospects in the history of baseball at this point.
I like both Wentz and Muller and I absolutely love that our chances of finding a few legit top arms out of our system are now very good. We'll see what we do to add some offense, but I like it.
You can always trade legit pitching prospects for hitting later on to get more bang for your buckQuote:

Braves been stockpiling pitching last 2 years. I look for them to make some moves this offseason to get some hitters to open the new park next year. At least that's what I hope lol
Louisville vs Florida in cws finals? They've sure dominated tonight
Love Dakota Hudson getting picked in the 1st round by an organization like the Cardinals.
That tells you a good deal about Dakota Hudson.
My first 3 picks in nearly every draft would be pitching. Stockpiling pitching allows you to build a dominant staff- and it also allows you to trade highly rated prospects for multiple position players to build your team. Pitching is always more expensive
I love what the Cardinals did tonight. Perez was a possible top 10 prospect that fell because of a positive PED test and the they get two college arms- including Hudson who I think will move through the organization quickly in Dakota and Jones from Virginia. Then they add another power high school bat that could play first or a corner outfield spot.
I'm hoping that they are very active in the Latin market in July as well. I want them to get Lazarito.
Yep, if you ain't got pitching, you ain't got squat!Quote:
