    Bachman seems like an overdraft at 9, expected him to be in the running for Reds. Probably Angels have a deal with him for less money.

    Now, Mets, big spenders, take Rocker.

    Kumar Rocker and his parents. That's it.

    Like they're just watching tv and he's like "oh look at that I'm a New York Met now, turn it back to the Golden Girls."

    That seems rare.

    It's going to suck picking #30 next year.

    The Rays always seem to make late picks work.

    Two good high school shortstops, Watson and House, still available. Highly rated, have fallen a bit tonight, maybe asking for more $. Wonder if either will be there for Reds and if they’d bite.

    I don't understand how Rocker fell to 10th. Did he have arm issues this year?

    If either of them fall to the Reds we should pick one, throw whatever they want at them, and figure out the rest later (assuming health and everything). Don't even let the buildup happen, just have the Reds go out immediately and say "we take Brady House".

    He was over-scouted.

    “Inconsistent velocity”.

    I’m trying to figure out why the Pirate wouldn’t just pick Leiter, but that’s good for the Reds and good for the Leiters too.

    From JJ Cooper twitter

    If I'm the Reds with extra money because of extra picks, I'm getting very interested in who could still keep sliding.

    House is gone. He’s left the House and gone to the Nats.

    I was kind of pulling for Bachman but yeah I don't like him at #9.

    Not sure what I want at the moment, but i still do like Tyler Black.
