MLB Draft Thread

Collins is going to be a ridiculous stud. Once he becomes adequate at blocking pitches, is gunning down everybody, and hitting .350+ with some pop and goes 1st or 2nd round in the draft, we're going to be wondering how in the world we replace a C like that.

MLB Network was talking about Lindgren possibly being the first player from this draft making it to MLB and helping out the Yankees bullpen this year.

Also showed some highlights of him mowing down some hitters from Ole Miss.

With the 59th pick in the 2014 MLB First-year player draft, the Texas Rangers select SS Ti'quan Forbes from Columbia HS (MS).

The Tampa Bay Rays are now on the clock.

And to be fair, we got used to him missing some Lindgren pitches, so he got blamed for several late in the year that Pudge Rodriguez wouldn't have blocked in his prime. Lindgren would throw that filthy slider about 12 feet short of the plate at times, and everybody looked at Collins. I bet catchers look like abuse victims after catching Lingo a few innings

With the 60th pick in the 2014 MLB First-year player draft, the Tampa Bay Rays select RHP Cameron Varga from Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy (OH).

The Cleveland Indians are now on the clock.

With the 61st pick of the 2014 MLB First-year player draft, the Cleveland Indians select RHP Grant Hockin from Damien HS (CA).

The Los Angeles Dodgers are now on the clock.

I know some people may not like the Yankees, but having a MSU player pitching for them is good for MSU as much as ESPN talks about them and the National exposure that they get.

Sorry Rebears, another year with your best recruit gone to the draft

With the 62nd pick in the 2014 MLB First-year player draft, the Los Angeles Dodgers select OF Alex Verdugo from Sahuaro HS (AZ).

The Detroit Tigers are now on the clock.

The Boston Red Sox are now on the clock.
