2023 MLB Draft Day 1 Thread

Pirates take Skenes

[Twins33]

Since the Tigers are understandably in love with Langford, I’m hoping the Rangers don’t take Clark

[pierre75275]

Is there somewhere that is updating live after the picks are made?

I don't have ESPN

Whoa, what? 

[notoriousgod71]

First curve ball of the draft.

[wabene]

Kitties take Clark

[AlwaysinModeration]

Come on Texas, pick a prep kid!

[wabene]

Hoping for Wyatt 

[wabene]

Wyatt gone. This should be rich, lol

[notoriousgod71]

Jenkins or lowder so I'm on record with who I want. No Gonzalez or teel.

No faith they can fix dollander.

[SwainZag]

Different order.... but Top 4 are gone..... what do the Twins do?

[wabene]

The brainiacs are on the clock baby!

[Twins33]

Jenkins or Lowder, please

[SwainZag]

Jenkins!

[wabene]

Jenkins better known as chalk

[Mike Sixel]

Just take the most likely best player, thank you.

[Schmoeman5]

Chalk so far. Twins get Jenkins. No Gonzalez. 

[chpettit19]

Love it. Let's see if he can stick in CF.

[wabene]

Welp everybody feared they'd get cute, but they somehow held their worst impulsiveness in check, lol

[AlwaysinModeration]

Did not see the Jenkins pick coming.

[jkcarew]

I would have gone Teel…but they might think he’s not a catcher.

First 4 picks went exactly the way I DIDN’T want them to go.

Oh well…no matter what happens now, we can’t say they ‘reached’.

[notoriousgod71]

At least this guy already has an injury history.

No issue there. 

[Mike Sixel]

Wow. Fangraphs thinks crews could be in the majors next year. That's fast. 

Had Skenes made the Twins, I'd think this year was possible

Don’t see how he can with the frame he already has at 18. But, maybe he’s a freak. Would be nice.

About now, I’d be happy if he just WANTS to play center.

[wabene]

Was Mitchell a reach for the Royals?

I'm traveling so I can't transpose but I'm listening on xm. They have quote snippets and after hearing his I'm in love. Not exact quotes but I'll get close.

1. My power doesn't come from swinging hard, it's comes from being a quality hitter, short to the ball and hitting lots of barrels.

2. I'm only getting stronger and quicker as I develop so I'm doing everything I can to stay in center.

I'll try and pull a clip when I get home. Doubt he play center long term but if he can function there when he's young that would be fantastic.
