Please let Bubba Starling fall to the Cubs

Please let Bubba Starling fall to the Cubs

Bubba Starling is one of three picks the Nationals are highly coveting. The others being RHP' s Alex Meyer and Trevor Bauer out of the University of Kentucky and UCLA respectively.

[Trendy Bastard]

Unfortunately with Wilken drafting, Cubs fans can never be sure who we are going to pick.

[Fitzy]

I also hope they go with Starling, but that is all left to what the previous 5 picks are.

[realmofotalk]

With the 16th selection in the first round of the 2011 first year player's draft, the Los Angeles Dodgers select pitcher __________ out of __________ High School.

[cjkalt]

How did half of those players the Rays got picks for qualify for supplemental picks... thats pretty sick that you get one for Hawpe and the like... they are just horrible... much rather have a 1st round pick than half of those guys at least

Who knew that picking up washed up players in mid-season could be so rewarding?

[Hammer]

i am severely hoping somebody with a tough name gets drafted... that should provide one hilarious moment from bud selig.

[love_that_reefer]

M's get Danny Hultzen, didn't see that coming.

[Fitzy]

RHP to the D-Backs. That was one of the guys the Nationals wanted.

[Hammer]

i assume bundy is gonna choose between baltimore and the university of texas, due to his shirt.

Bundy is to Baltimore. Best pick of the draft so far.

[Sabu88]

Bundy is to Baltimore. Best pick of the draft so far.

yep. Best player in the draft. The Orioles get the player the Pirates should have selected again (Wieters).

[love_that_reefer]

First four were all pitchers, Royals drafted Bubba Starling, the 1st position player.
