Amateur Draft Open Thread, Part 2

Tiny by Jeff on in Upcoming Events

Since 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.

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

They were going to either take a HS pitcher

or a really athletic dude. But HS pitcher was the more likely one.

Silly Graham.

I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.

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.

Yeah, it drew some comment from the analysts

They stressed that he had been drafted as a 3B, which was a bit odd

I see

Well they could probably use hit at either spot in a few years. I don’t remember which they were more interested in him at.

Havens
Odorizzi
Cooper
Hunt

Another catcher? Really?

I guess the MLB draft is as much of a copycat draft as the NFL..

by lailaihei on Jun 5, 2008 12:39 PM PDT   0 recs

He's not really a catcher from what I've heard.
