    This has worked out well for me. I did the dishes during the first several picks. Now I'm scanning some pictures my wife asked me to do for a wedding coming up. Listening to draft and getting to be productive - win, win for me.

    Please no. He'll probably be around in the supplemental round.
    He heard correct

    That's horrible. I think Buckley just popped his shoulder out of socket with that reach.

    "He projects more as a reliever than a starter".

    Awesome.

    Well, so much for giving a crap about this draft. What a joke.

    Serious reach by the Reds. Nice job. They just drafted a guy at 14 that may have been available at 49. And they just said on MLB Network he may project better as a reliever.

    Travioso. Can hit 99 sits at 92-93 has a great slider. Projectible but a project. As for the reliever remark thats not true - if he doesn't develop off speed stuff it is but he hasn't had pro coaching and doesn;t throw off speed yet
