2006 Draft Discussion Thread

[Derwood]

well, at least I appreciate the work I'm doing. I'm putting player photos and everything. Someone will thank me, someday. Someday....

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Hurry up and get drafted, Ambriz.

[Derwood]

we've hit another lull

[sethuel1]

Jesus the kids in this draft are young. 1987? Holy crap

 

there's more than a couple from '88 in there.

 

I'm in a weird "feeling old" age. I'm not yet old enough to be president, but I'm older than most pro atheletes

 

Mine hit when i bought my Onyewu World Cup jersey and then realized he is younger than I am.

 

Also when one of the undergrads in my lab called me Uncle Seth

 

Same for me - guys like Ben Gordon and Luol Deng are younger than me. And Cedric Benson is 4 days older than me.

 

Of course, I"m still just 23.

 

*feversihly goes to find out CR's birthday*

[Derwood]

Personal rule:

 

If you were too young to see the original theatrical release of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, you are a whipper snapper. Get off my lawn!

Remember, I'm a hot softball player now, not a raisin. Stop stalking me!

I'm not picky.

Excellent rule.

Might be a good idea to hire a body guard. :newugh:

So you were born on Christmas Eve.

What if you were old enough to star in it?

Then you're too old? :lol:

Draft Update:

 

A bunch of teams that aren't the Cubs are drafting a bunch of players.

Is Lasorda drunk? :lol:

No. I was born on New Years. I thought Benson was born on 12/28.

Then you're Mark Hamil?

[sethuel1]

At age 3, I was part of a casting call for extras for Witness. Does that count for anything?

I could have been an extra in "The Babe" when they were filming in Champaign

Damnit, I went the wrong way... but I was close enough.

This is turning into an amateur's thread, alright. Not so much about the draft, though!

ARZ - Kevin Thompson

 

This guy has kicked butt in my simulated league.

Stupid Cubs and their signing of free agents.

Here is what espn.com's Keith Law said on a chat session today:

 

Kevin (Manassas): What are your thoughts on the Cubs first round pick Tyler Colvin?

 

SportsNation Keith Law: (3:21 PM ET ) Has to be signability, don't you think? He was a third or fourth round talent. I'm surprised that the Cubs went "cheap," especially since they went over slot last year with Utah HS pitcher Mark Pawelek. Perhaps they didn't feel anyone on the board was worth slot at #13.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

All the picks that the Cubs gave up or that were created for the signings of Eyre, Howry and Jones:

 

33. Giants (for Type A Scott Eyre) - SS Emmanuel Burris, Kent State

39. Indians (for Type A Bob Howry) - LHP David Huff, UCLA

57. Indians (for Type A Howry) - 2B Josh Rodriguez, Rice

89. Giants (for Type A Eyre) - LHP Clayton Tanner, De La Salle HS (CA)

119. Twins (for Type B Jacque Jones) - 1B Whitney Robbins, Georgia Tech

[sethuel1]

Some guy from Bradley just got picked. Don't we have some Braves on the board?

 

or whatever they're called now that they're not allowed to be the Braves.
