2019 MLB Draft, Marlins pick 4th, select OF JJ Bleday

Featured Replies

So they chose the best available college bat right? That's perfect. The only "better" players were high schoolers. I'm happy. Great job not shying away from the easy choice. Awesome.

 

Marlins picked the player that made the most sense.  Even though they have 10k outfield prospects.

A bunch of this poster's retweets are of the Detroit Tigers. He is apparently salty that the Marlins swept his team and then took the pick he wanted right in front of the Tigers.

 

 

Any idea what the marlins are thinking with those picks ? Any names that have come out in the mock drafts ?

 

fwiw, the only site i've found a round 2 mock has the marlins grabbing george kirby at 35 (which would have been a steal as he went at 20 and was probably going at 19 if hte lefty wasnt there for the cardinals.)

 

they have jj goss going to them at 46.

 

marlins targeting pitching isnt a bad idea.

 

 

I'll say take Leiter's kid 

 

There were some rumors that he wasn’t willing to sign at a 2nd round slot. Not sure how true, but could have something to do with a possible slide 

 

 

I just about suggested Michael Busch as a player the Marlins could look at getting. I decided to wait to see who the Dodgers would take and sure enough, the took him off the board.

Arizona has the next two picks in a row. They shouldn't have to wait between picks, like who are they waiting for? Just announce your two and move on.

 

 

Manfred talking about the shift. Clearly the league has adjusted to the shift. At least they have adjusted to the way the Marlins use it.

 

 

Matthew Allan available. He has a 60 grade fastball, 60 grad 12-6 curveball and 55 grade control. Baseball America says that his fastball AND curveball could be 70 grade.

 

 

I preferred Allan and Leiter and the Marlins have a bevy of OF prospects, but not bad with Misner. Good power-speed combo. With both picks so far the Marlins took the top rated College position player left on the board.

 

 

Marlins take another outfielder.

 

hilarious.

 

I really thought they were gonna go after a pitcher but still like the pick, solid

 

 

Looks like Matthew Allan is not gonna get a good slot. He might end up going to Florida. I might get to see him up close.

 

 

Damn how close are your seats??

 

Well I park just across the street of the Gators baseball complex Monday-Friday, so my Driver's seat is pretty close.
