Actual 2007 Draft Thread - Day One

[E.J.]

Aumont is a Tall dude.

 

Doesn't have much of a grasp of the English language. What was the point of that interview?

[Brian]

yeah it's quite clear most of these guys don't have the experience with talking to the press

[cubfan]

I'm guessing Aumont speaks French and has learned English as a second language. With that in mind, I don't think he did that bad.

[Tedward]

Moustakas teamate Matt Dominguez (3B) to the Marlins at #12

[E.J.]

This is taking way too long. This thing started an hour ago and we're only on the 13th pick. Go back to the old way.

They need to cut the time between picks to 3 minutes.

[E.J.]

Beau Mills taken at 13 by the Indians

[Brian]

Lewis & Clark State College :lol:

[BeerHere]

I like the fact that it's televised, but I have to agree. At this pace the first two rounds will take 6+ hours.

[Brian]

Braves take Heyward

[BeerHere]

As they gush over the kid and his "Frank Thomas like plate discipline", the video they showed was him popping out on a pitch below the knees.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The Braves are such a good organization.

 

Porcello continues to fall.

yeah, just crazy.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The Braves are such a good organization.

 

Porcello continues to fall.

 

i'm hearing Porcello won't fall below the Rangers from some friends I know over in Texas.

[Tedward]

Which pick, # 17 or # 24?

[Brian]

Devin Mesoraco picked be Reds. He's from the Groundhogs day town

[YearofDaCubs]

The Braves are such a good organization.

 

Porcello continues to fall.

Maybe he really will drop to the Yankees.

I don't have that info. I'll see what else I can learn.

[Brian]

Blue Jays select Kevin Ahrens

[Mephistopheles]

the rangers will probbly take Beavan and the Cards will take Kozma

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

If the Rangers get Beavan and then Porcello, they will have added some nice young arms to their system.

[Brian]

Rangers select Beavan

[Mephistopheles]

oh nice call by me. Im shocked he lasted

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I think they'll go for Porcello if he's still there with their next pick.

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

Rangers select Beavan

 

Great, great pick. He'll work well for the Rangers. I think he'll be a groundball/K machine.
