    lol...there was an article on him that called him a "true 17 yr old". I thought it was funny that they had to mention it was a legit number.

    Do you hate the pick though? I would've been fine with Appel, but this seems like a very good pick.

    I'm so happy with this pick. Watching the pre show, they were talking about the attachment Luhnow will have with this pick, with it being his 1st as a GM and being #1 overall. Hopefully, we look back at this in 10 years and reminisce.

    I was shocked when they actually made the pick. Thought for sure they would take Appel. PSYCHED!

    Lol, I'm thinking back a couple of years when we drafted Jio Mier and what the analysts said about him and comparing it to what they are saying about Correa. Mier was never an exciting prospect and now he looks like Adam Everett (minus the glove) in comparison.

    Sub 'Buxton' out with 'Correa'--that's what Peter Gammons said after the selection of Correa. Said the 'baseball guys' wanted Correa.
