2022 MLB Draft Day 1 Thread

Yeah!

[2wins87]

I like it!

[sftwinsfan]

I'll take it, like the pick. Pleasantly surprised he lasted this long. 

[notoriousgod71]

First time ever I agree with a pick!

[strumdatjag]

The Devil Wears Parada.  Take him if he’s there.

Lee, please. 

Your request has been approved.

Likin' Lee!

[Dman]

It's a good choice. He was arguably the best bat in this class and he has a slim chance to play short but a chance non the less.  He is a big kid and Assume a fast mover.  Should be a good safe pick.  Hopefully they can get a little bit a savings on the bonus amount but probably not enough to pickup one of the pitchers that would fall to the teens.

At the start of this with Lee mocked in the top 4 I never would have dreamed he could make it to 8.  Very happy with the pick.

 

[USAFChief]

Lee??!? 

 

Stupid *?***(## Twins!!1!11

 

TERRIBLE pick!!1!

[strumdatjag]

Nope. Brooks Lee 

[ashbury]

Hope the Royals were in the market for a Max Kepler type, because that's what I think they just got in Cross.

[tarheeltwinsfan]

I hope Brooks Lee can play catcher, cause we got no one else.. 

[Dman]

I liked Parada as well.  It was a tough call there for me but I think in the end Lee is a bit more athletic and with Parada's potential arm issues behind the plate he could have ended up at 1st base or DH.  Lee should be able to play all utility spots and likely left field.  He could be a plus defensive 3rd baseman.  He's just more athletic so I really like the pick.

They could have gone Collier as well but Lee is pretty much everything Collier is supposed to be when he grows up so why not just take Lee and forgo the development risk.  Again I think the Twins made the right choice with Lee.

Did you know that Max Kepler's parents are ballet dancers and he was born in Germany?

[DocBauer]

Just a couple days ago, wouldn't have thought Lee was there. Couple months ago, no way he's there.

Like I said, happy with any of the 3. Great player any way you went.

Question: Second knee injury to Lewis, did that influence the pick of Lewis in any way???

[2wins87]

Seems to be a bit of reaching for college pitching going on.

Could be interesting what high school pitching and bats are left in the second round.

Bold prediction: Lee is a MLB regular before Lewis

 

[ashbury]

Parada to the Mets. A big market move IMO.

Now that is bold! Bordering on reckless Chief, a disposition of which you are well noted for on TD?

Define regular............... does playing the last half of 2023 with the Twins as the starting SS (or elsewhere) count?

Playing any position as a regular counts. 

How about: accumulate an average of 3 PAs/game for 2 months?

I'm with tarheelsfan. I will take that bet.

Anyway, love the Lee pick as well.

Do you know why these baseball ballet scenes are so suspenseful?  Because the count is always tutu.
