Haven’t watched every pick, has a single IF not been announced as a SS yet? 

The best players/athletes on most high school and college teams usually play SS. They get sorted out more at the next level

Not if they’re left handed

That kid made me look up his uncle Delmon, only 3.2 bWAR in 10 years. That's a rough 1/1. 

Didn’t delmon throw his bat at an umpire in minors?

Mariners really hit the jackpot today.

Curious about the Cubs reach, but might be a great pick to help reload an outfield system as they hopefully trade away some for a SP in the coming weeks.

“The Yankees drafted an aggie”… FUCK

”he went to high school at Lake Travis”… gross

“He’s Jeff Kent’s son”… fucking Jesus christ

Can he hit a curve ball when it really matters, say, when some broke arm reliever throws 20-22 straight curve balls ?

Not that any MLB pticher would actually do that in a game that matters right?

This year’s MLB Draft has been K-filled. I mean, you had Kade Anderson going with the third pick and in short order, teams drafted a Kyson (Witherspoon), a Kayson (Cuningham) a Kruz (Schoolcraft!).

In all, I’m kounting 21 different K names taken so far. They include:

Kade (four of them actually)

Kaden (Echeman, a pitcher at Northern Kentucky with a number of pitches!)

Kaeden (Kent, Texas A&M shortstop, son of former Jeff Kent, who apparently loves alliteration)

Kaemyn (Franklin, Oklahoma, high schooler with promise as both a pitcher and hitter)

Kaiden (Wilson, Texas A&M lefty pitcher, teammate of Kaeden Kent, apparently they love different spellings of Kaiden at A&M)

Kailen (Harrison, Orioles pick, can’t find out a lot, but apparently he’s from Australia).

Kaleb (two of them)

Kamden (Edge, high school pitcher)

Kameron (Douglas, two-way player at Alabama State)

Kane (Kepley, great alliteration, Cubs’ second-round pick, starred at North Carolina)

Karson (Ligon, Joseph is his first name, but he goes by Karson, pitcher at the University of Miami)

Kayson (Cunningham, Diamondbacks’ first-round pick, pure hitter)

Kellan (Oakes, Oregon State pitcher)

Kerrington (Cross, sounds like a British superspy, third baseman, Big 12 Player of the Year at the University of Cincinnati)

Kien (Vu, Arizona State outfielder, said to have big power)

Kruz (Schoolcraft, best name in the draft. As Padres fan Justin Halpern says, “A.J.  (Preller) only likes drafting guys with names from fantasy YA novels.”

KK (Clark, high-school pitcher from Mississippi, unclear if he spells it KK or K.K.)

Kolten (Smith, righthanded pitcher from Georgia)

Korbyn (Dickerson, Indiana centerfielder, has flashed above average with all five tools)

Kyle (four of them)

Kyson (Witherspoon, has a twin brother who is also a prospect named Malachi, but the Red Sox wanted the K name).

I’m looking forward to the day when every player in baseball has a name that starts with K.
