PrintSince drafting is pretty much the only thing we do well I'm not yet going to let myself get too pessimistic, but I'm 100% confident that we'll be able to screw this up somehow if we so desire.

The Dodgers really wanted Hicks
Too bad suckas!
We should call Stephen Strasburg's at 20
just to further emphasize that we will be drafting him next year.
At this rate, we pick after 1 pm

Draft tracker
is talking about him as a pitcher, saying he went from interesting 2 way guy to upper echelon pitching prospect. Almost nothing is said about him as a 3B.
The poster formerly known as Matt.
Yeah, it drew some comment from the analysts

I don't think this was a Fontaine-led pick
Also, Fontaine works his magic in the later rounds, extracting hidden value.
So we failboated the 1st pick as expected, and now we can only hope they get solid talent in subsequent rounds, when there’s no attention on them.
I'm not justifying the pick, because it was an awful pick
I’m just not sure this pick was purely Fontaine’s idea.
True.
I care very little for this first round pick, but the real test will be how we take advantage of rounds two and on.

Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
You'd think that.
I guess the whole Boone Stutz thing is still pretty fresh in their minds.
What do you think about this years draft?
Lawrence Jackson? With all the talent left on the board?
I wouldn't exactly say he's an excellent pick
He’s played 0 NFL games, we’ll need to check back in a few years to see how it all played out. Just seems like we had some other needs.
You can't evaluate picks years after they've been made. That's not fair.
It’s just like even if the Bedard trade works out for the M’s, it’s still a bad trade. You have to evaluate based on how it was at the time. If Bedard wins eight Cy Youngs and 6 world series MVPs with us, and Adam Jones, George Sherrill, Tillman, Butler, and Mickolio die in a freak boating accident tomorrow, the trade was still a bad idea.
If Lawrence Jackson busts, the pick was still a really good idea.
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
If he busts, how was it a good idea?
Fair or not, the success of a Draft Pick is almost entirely based on what they accomplish as a pro. Why is New England heralded for drafing Tom Brady in the 7th round? It’s not because it was just a good idea, it’s because they found superstar talent that late in Draft.
One of our needs was DE depth.
That pick addressed that problem nicely.
What is great about College Football and Basketball drafts
is that the players can have an immediate impact on the team the following year. You don’t need to wait 2-3 years to evaluate how well a team drafted in those sports.
DE is a position where you can never have too much depth. WR is more fungible
Plus you don’t need to be an elite receiver to function in the West Coast Offense. Really right now WR is the Hawks only weakness and the rest of the team is awesome. I think the Hawks are sitting pretty for 2008
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
I agree about DE depth
But is Wahle going to shore up our line? Seems like we could have used another solid O-Lineman. I also think we needed a DT like Kentwan Balmer before we needed a DE. Run Defense absolutely killed us last year, who knows if Tubbs is even going to play in the NFL again? With a mid-sized MLB like Lofa too, we can really get punished up the middle if we don’t have the run-stoppers we need.
Wahle is better than most people think.
I think you need to read more Field Gulls
And our run defense was pretty damn good last year, we gave up 100 yards rushing like four times all season.
Yesterday's Pants
A blog-thingy about the Mariners and stuff.
Wahle was a fantastic FA pickup.
Kentwan Balmer would have been a horrible fit in our organization. Red Bryant is a better 2-gap fit for us.

Yeah, Gammons, the "danger" is in bringing up these relievers too fast.

Fields
30 app, 2.27 ERA, 31.2 IP, 2 HR, 18/56 BB/K at Georgia.
Confirmed: Misses lots of bats, and strike zones.
Against college hitters, doesn't that just mean he misses lots of strike zones?
College hitters aren’t great at pitch recognition, so they could well be swinging at a lot of balls.
