Texas selects 3B Jake Buck Grandson of Legendary Cardinals Broadcaster Jack Buck and son of Cardinals/Fox Broadcaster Joe Buck. This is surprisingly plausible, Staunton, IL is a very tiny town about 30-45 min from St. Louis and he played his college ball at SLU.

No lames on the Rangers PS If I'm actually slowing the draft down, I'm kidding. Choose away.

Twins select from short list SP Roy Barton.
Padres are probably reaching but at the #18 pick they are excited to nab Antonio Lopez. 18 year old catcher from Kenner, LA.
Brewers are on the clock. They timed out with their earlier pick and still have not been on the boards since the 8th. But their export is current. So we'll do a short leash. I'll give him the evening but if I have not heard anything by tomorrow morning I'll auto him.

Brewers auto pick SP Jose Gallegos. Mariners are on the clock.
A's, Rays and Cubs be ready. I have short lists from Philly and Colorado so the picks will be coming after the Mariners.

Moving to the podium to announce the Chicago Cubs' 2nd first round selection is legendary Cub Anthony Rizzo. "With the 26th pick in the 2039 draft my own Chicago Cubs have selected pitcher Carlos Montano." And the room goes crazy!!! Two potential aces in the first round for the Cubbies! One can only imagine what the club will do with their 3rd pick (#35) in this first round!

One can only imagine what the club will do with their 3rd pick (#35) in this first round! Good pick! In the PBL Anthony Rizzo never played for the Cubs and had only one good season, with the Astros in 2018. Interesting to see the differences between how players diverged from when we started in 2010 to current day. For instance, Mike friggin Trout topped out at AAA, never reaching the bigs. I signed him with the Blue Jays in 2015 out of sentiment (Mike Trout is perhaps my favorite baseball player I've ever watched) and then saw him flounder for us as High-A. See what I did there? Trout...flounder? Fish puns as I derail the draft thread!
