I'm using the MLB AtBat app on my phone because I couldn't get the MLB.com stream to work either.

The stream is locking up or the draft tracker???    this is the stream.. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/210960834/v1469243883/live-2017-mlb-draft-day-1

MLB.com is working for me. Sort of.

[Angelsjunky]

@Adam is hoping for Keston Hiura. Hmm...I wonder why.

The tracker wasn't updating. I have the stream on finally my security systems at work try to kill any enjoyment I have in life.

That tracker is always sort of wonky for me too...

He's gonna make SD great again...

It isn't too daring to say that McKay and Wright are next.

[Angelsjunky]

Brendan McKay looks really disappointed to be drafted as a first baseman.

Or to be a Ray.

Reading conflicting reports...MLB Network is really emphasizing the 1B part, but others are saying the Rays will have him do both still.

[Angelsjunky]

Brendan McRay doesn't work for him?

He might even invent the next Internet and solve global warming

Baldomathez is still on the board.

[totdprods]

The A's need SP though don't they?

[Chuck]

I wonder if they take another Florida Gator in Faedo to pair with Puk taken from last year. 

[Chuck]

@totdprods called it.

A's take Beck. 

[Angelsjunky]

So why did the As pick Beck over Adell or Haseley?

[Chuck]

Here's a better draft tracker since MLB's is not updating.
