1951 BVL Draft
deGrom deal results in Foys No. 1 prize, Harris
|
| |
Despite Mr. Adam Goldberg’s annual declaration that the draft is the worst he has ever seen, 134 players, many with talents to benefit a club, were selected into the BVL. “He cracks me up,” said Brick Church boss, Jesus Diaz. “My calendar is marked when he’s going to say that.” Pause. “The Knights would be thrilled owning a No. 1 pick--like we are!”
The Foys used the first overall pick--originally New England property--to draft OF Michael Harris. The Foys gained the Hawks No. 1 in the Jacob deGrom deal made 3 years ago.
Hopeful that they are on the right road and not lost, Toronto improved themselves with lefty Nestor Cortes. “Monarchs haven’t been given the proper credit for the recent talent they have acquired,” said scribe Slick Rhodes. “They added a top dog to their rotation, in Cortes, with their #2; a slugging catcher, William Contreras, with their #5; a top closer, Alexis Diaz, #12; a Gold Glove shortstop, Nico Hoerner, #20, to last year’s talent. Ignore this club at your peril.”
Banksville cashed in their three first-round picks for starter Luis Severino, #3; reliever Ryan Helsley, #9; and prospect Gunner Henderson, #10.
The other first-round selections: OF Jordan Walker, #4 (Brick Church); 1B Christian Walker, #6 (LES); C Alejandro Kirk, #7 (Homestead); and 2B Brendan Donovan, #8 (New York City).
Notes from the draft:
* Of the 134 players chosen, 66 (26 starters, 40 relievers) were pitchers (49.3%); 36 were position players (26.8%); and 32 ineligible players (23.9%).
* Simonds Watch: After New York selected Ronny Mauricio, Brooklyn boss declared he’s a Bulldog, confusing Mauricio with Ron Marinaccio, who was drafted earlier. Classic SW!
* It took a while to find Carlos Santana, who was found in the Bum Players Pile of cards.
* Sam Moll was selected while Mr. Charles was sedated with Xanax for a return trip home. Landing seven hours later, Banksville made history by drafting Nick Sandlin to become the first club to pick two players from two continents--on the same day. How ’bout that!
* The Liberace Boogie Woogie was played to introduce the selection of Matthew Liberatore.
* Brick Church broke its edict--never draft a Yankee--by drafting a Yankee, reliever Scott Effross. Foys responded to the uproar and stated the reliever was not considered a "full Yankee"--Effross pitched the majority of the his MLB season with the Cubs.
* New York selects Matt Mervis with the last pick. "What an honor," Mervis joked. "I'm the last player called in a draft my boss thinks is the worst he has ever seen. Nice."
