Well good thing we didn't let Jack Suwinski bring the lineup down tonight

Here we go boys. Surplus of prospects? Need an OF? Do it BC

Since the draft began in 1965, the Pirates have had the No. 4 selection three times. Those picks produced right-hander Brad Lincoln in 2006, lefty Daniel Moskos in 2007 and catcher Tony Sanchez in 2009.

I'm holding out hope they can find the next Cole Tucker or Will Craig or heck maybe even Reese McGuire

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 9:28 am

I forgot Will Craig even existed. McGuire has zero bat but he's at least a rosterable MLB player.

Yeah he's OPSing right around Michael Perez and Tyler Heineman

We should probably all ignore that Trout was in that 2009 tony Sanchez draft. But there were dudes drafted immediately after Sanchez that could have helped the pirates when they were actually good.

The Pirates could have saved Mike Trout. He'd have been a dodger for three years already by now and never had to experience the Angels

Postby **Beveridge** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 3:05 pm

Trout would probably still be in the minors.

So who gets traded? Vogelbach, Quintana, marisnick... any others?

Postby **faftorial** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 6:28 pm

Quintana should return something decent.

Kinda hope the Bucs can get Eric Green's son today at 4

Postby **willeyeam** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 7:37 pm

Termarr. Championship

Comparisons to Wade Boggs and Vlad Sr.

Holy jumpin

Hes got a little swagger. We need that

Postby **willeyeam** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 8:11 pm

I think without a clear first tier of players, the worry was that the Bucs would take a lower ranked guy to save some slot money to spread around last year. Which isn't a bad idea per se, and I liked how last year went. But when Termarr made it and seemed like the consensus best player available, it was nice to see them go for it.

I don't follow the draft so who is he referring to?

Lots of glowing words for him out there.

Might be a cornerstone

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 9:32 pm

**** Kumar Rocker went ahead of him at 3?

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 9:36 pm

The sons of Matt Holliday, Carl Crawford, and Lou Collier all taken in the first round. **** I'm old.

Postby **willeyeam** » Sun Jul 17, 2022 9:41 pm

The Carl Crawford one cut deep
