Frankly I'm surprised I haven't been asked about when the draft is starting. This might be one of the latest starts we've had, we usually start in May. Oakland is on the clock. Remember, you have 24 hours from the time the previous pick was made to make your pick. The clock DOES NOT stop on weekends anymore. Me or someone else will work on a list of previously draft college players, and underclassmen are no longer eligible (so, there's a second reason not to draft Donny Everett. Too soon?). Also, international players who did NOT play in the United States last season (regular minor leagues, Arizona Fall League, etc) are also ineligible. And anyone who was free agent eligible this last offseason is not draft eligible either.

But teams can start picking now. But the clock won't start until the 10th.

Surprise pick by Jeff. Never would've guessed Groome to go #1 overall. Shocker!

Dreaming on two aces fronting a future rotation in Anderson Espinoza and Riley Pint. I've never had this dream before. Such young arms, what could possibly go wrong!

I hope to be in the same position in my other league. I traded for Espinoza in the offseason, and I have the #5 pick in the draft that just started. Moncada and Puk went 1-2. If one of the next two picks is someone like Kyle Lewis, that means either Groome or Pint fall to me. Fingers crossed.

Apparently Groome is poised to freefall in the draft because of his asking price. Sweet.

Crisis averted! Boston just needs to sign him now. I just feel sorry for Travis now. Colorado isn't exactly your ideal landing spot for a top pitching prospect. I actually skipped over Pint in the MLBSA because of that and took someone lower on my board instead. I didn't see the broadcast of the draft but I read that you could see the disappointment on Pint's face when they took him.

I was sitting here hoping that the White Sox wasn't going to take Senzel, I'm glad they didn't. I wanted to go for a college player with my first pick and I got the guy at the top of my list.

With the rash of 2016 draft picks going early I was hoping Calhoun would fall through the cracks. He was on my short list for the winter draft. Exceptional pick Matt, my favorite so far this draft.

All the picks have yet again been very good boys! Im happy to grab a young toolsy high upside and high floor center fielder. Hopefully Moniak and Robles are both roaming my outfield in the years to come.

I like most of the picks. I don't know much about Calhoun so I can't comment on him. I thought Senzel and Anderson went too soon. Anderson went too soon in the real draft, so our hands were tied. Senzel I'm just not a fan of. I don't like his hitting profile for a corner position. It's my own personal bias, but I wouldn't have taken him at all in the first round. I thought Thaiss was a little high, but since I already have Collins, if someone needed a catcher, they had to pop him early so I understand that pick. I love the Braxton pick. I grabbed him in the MLBSA with the 5th overall pick as well, and that's a deeper draft than we have here. I still like Pint, and it's a shame he came to Colorado. Maybe they'll trade him? It's like taking a hitter and then seeing them go to Seattle IRL. Just breaks your heart.

I like the Perez pick. He was the main one I was hoping to trade up and get a pick to use on.

My pick is in, I am sure it's horrible. I honestly spent 45 minutes researching someone to take so I didn't hold up the draft. I have far too much going on to sit down and make a long list like I usually do.

Aledmys is only the 2nd ready now guy I have ever drafted, I usually draft for upside. 16th overall might be a little too early for Diaz considering all the other higher-upside options available, but hes been my target since the winter draft, before Diaz's real life break out. I didnt want to wait until pick 1.30 for him and watch someone snag him up. Now I hope this mini slump hes in is only that, and not a truer indicator of his MLB hitting ability...

O'Neill was my primary target. I was hoping that with most teams paying more attention to the real draft that he might slip to me. Luckily I still have other options. But he's a nice bat, young for his level, is still hitting for power outside of the Cal League, and his strikeout rate is declining.

I was beginning to wonder if others didn't realize he was draft eligible. I mean, when do you get the chance to get a plug n' play SS in a draft, one who is really good. Even with Castro at SS and Peraza and Nick Gordon on my team, I would have taken him at 1:24. It was killing me because I had two other guys there to want to take, but just felt you can't pass on this proven talent if you're taking the best player on the board. I really think he's the best player taken in the draft so far, even as his real life stats start to normalize. Solid hitter, solid glove and ready to play whenever you want.
