Actual 2007 Draft Thread - Day One

[otis89]

Just glad we didn't take another pitcher...we have plenty of young arms and need to have a solid position player prospect every decade or so.

 

Funny how guys aren't even happy when we land the top HS hitter in the draft...

 

Cubs fans are never happy. The Cubs could win the World Series and there would still be complaining going on here.

[illiniguy]

Ok Weiters....fall to 48... :P

 

That would be awesome.

How awesome would it be when we passed on him again. Wilken has to prove he is smart by stretching :roll:

[Chocolate Milk]

I wish I was watching the interview. I guess you don't really need to be some kind of genius to hit a ball with a stick.

[Brian]

OUCH, (our past draft board up now)

No, there wouldn't. Cubs fans are never happy because the Cubs never do the right thing and never win.

[cubweiser03]

Lower your sigining bonus.

Vitters aint going to college after seeing that interview.

[Mephistopheles]

that was a shocker

[gflore34]

Took the one of the best HS hitters, didn't take a chance on a HS pitcher and best of all, didn't pull a Colvin out their asses like last year - I'm happy!

QFT. I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be much complaining going on if the Cubs just won the World Series.

[illiniguy]

Not too many teams have a Prior on there though. We drafted great that year.

Would you still be complaining about the complainers?

 

I would've preferred Moustakas/Heywood/Wieters, but let's not lose sight of the fact of the uncertainty here. This isn't free agency where we have a pretty good idea who's going to give you what, there's a crapload of variability in how these guys are going to turn out.

[Brian]

He looked like he was wasted.

 

wouldn't you get wasted if you're new boss is Jim Hendry?

[Derwood]

anyone else fully expect the Pirates to once again take a college lefty?

 

thank you, thank you very much

OK. So I exaggerated. I still made my point though.

[Brendan]

moskos to the pirates

[waffle]

I'm happy with the pick. Does that make ME wasted?

I wasn't complaining.

And what was that point, that Cubs fans insatiable appetite for greatness means they will never be satisfied and always complaining? You are describing Yankees fans. Cubs fans complain with justification.

[CubsInNC]

funny ball-shrinking, anti-steroids ad sponsored by MLB.... hypocritical, no?

[E.J.]

So, now we have to wait like 3 hours for our next pick. Can't say I'm liking the new format.

[UK1679666180]

I'm content with the pick, he's the safe pick I tought.

[Moonlight Graham]

I will give my opinoin on the pick in 4 to 5 years. :D

[Brian]

i'm betting the GMs and the scouting directors hate this new format.

[Prior4CyYoung]

well there goes wieters

[UK1679666180]

Boras and Angelos...
