Actual 2007 Draft Thread - Day One

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Wendell Fairley to SF

[Mephistopheles]

lets see with the giants. theyve taken hs sps bumgarner and alderson. they may go with a bat but they have a lot of picks left. if smokers there hes an option. i think they could go upside upside again with burgess. Wendell Fairley maybe. they might take a chance with signing away russell.

 

ill say smoker then russell.

 

close.

 

tough choice here for the yankees now. I think Russell or another toolsy HS OFer. Chris Carpenter or Nevin Griffith if they go pitching. UT Suttle maybe

[Mephistopheles]

Smoker maybe. Smoker wont fall past the Braves at 33.

 

The Nats at 31 may take Jackson or Cumberland

The Giants will take another hitter. Maybe a lot of the others mentioned at 32.

Smoker 33. If hes gone. Ill think.

 

 

Im tired of doing this now. what is it a minute between the picks in the suppy?

[Guest]

I like Smoker.

[Mephistopheles]

Harvey of course. I cant believe i forgot him

[Guest]

Wow, Brackman.

[Mephistopheles]

Not surprised. I didnt project it. Shoulda mentioned it.

[Brian]

hmmm Brackman to Yanks

[CubsInNC]

Wow, Brackman.

 

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

[Guest]

Anyway Smoker or Harvey fall to 48?

[Shilzzz]

what pick are we at now, number wise?

[Guest]

I'm really wary of guys who lose 5-10 mph and have injury problems right before the draft, though. I wouldn't have wanted the Cubs to take the risk.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

what pick are we at now, number wise?

 

31

Brackman = 30. Last pick of first round.

So are they taking a break? There's no clock ticking under Washington.

I thought 1st + supplemental.

They're doing it for another hour. There's usually a break before the sandwich picks.

I'll take Carpenter. I like Crosby quite a bit too.

[Mephistopheles]

i think the faller of the draft has been smoker. harvey was expected to fall some. the Braves have to be ecstatic if they get Smoker next pick. They would have never guessed in their wildest dreams to get Smoker and Heyward. They probably had their choices down to those two guys.

[Chocolate Milk]

This break is stupid.
