2008 Day 1 Draft Thread

[GoCubsGo1679625768]

Hypothetically, if Smoak was on the board when the Cubs pick, Wilken would probably pass as well.

[Guest]

Smoak won't make it past the Rangers and the A's.

'Coming down' highlights of a catcher.

Jesus. How bought they show him throwing somebody out.

[imb]

*cries*

Nice pick by Texas.

 

Oak. will take Wallace.

STL will get Friedrich.

[Guest]

I'm hoping for Lawrie or Hicks or one of the prep arms.

[UK1679666180]

I think Lawrie will go to the Twins

[Guest]

I think Lawrie will go to the Twins

Yeah, they seem rather smitten about him.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Could Hunt fall all the way to us?

[illiniguy]

Give me Mellville.

[UK1679666180]

I think Lawrie will go to the Twins

Yeah, they seem rather smitten about him.

 

Hicks will go to LA, IMO.

[UK1679666180]

Could Hunt fall all the way to us?

 

I expect him to.

[Guest]

Nice pick by Texas.

 

Oak. will take Wallace.

STL will get Friedrich.

 

Sucks for Oakland, they had to think the odds were high that Alfonso or Smoak or White Beckham would fall to them.

 

I think those picks make sense, STL has really liked Friedrich the last week.

[UK1679666180]

huh? there's an overdraft. This working out good for the Cubs.

[Guest]

I think Lawrie will go to the Twins

Yeah, they seem rather smitten about him.

 

Hicks will go to LA, IMO.

 

Yeah, and Logan will make him pitch.

 

I just want them to take Kelly because I don't trust Cubs coaching with him.

[Guest]

Someone good should fall to the Cubs with Weeks and Castro going so high. Hopefully Wilken will take him.

[RammyFanny]

Weeks, yes, another slight overdraft. I expected him in the 20's.

 

I'm hoping for Hicks, but he'll be eaten up by LAD.

 

After him, i'm hoping for Ethan Martin (as a pitcher) or Lawrie.

[UK1679666180]

STL should be thankful/

 

They have a tough one

[sneakypower]

bummer

[Flames24Rulz]

Weeks at 12? Um...wow.

[UK1679666180]

This is shaping up for Melville to the Cubs.

[illiniguy]

This is shaping up for Melville to the Cubs.

God I hope so.

[Guest]

I think Ping gets this one right.

[OleMissCub]

I'm surprised Scott Bittle out of Ole Miss isn't more highly ranked anywhere:

 

7-1, 8 saves, 1.78 ERA, 130K in 70.2 innings.

[RammyFanny]

I thought what's his face from BP said the Cubs won't take Melville.

 

I'm hoping for an Ike Davis/Casey Kelly/Odorizzi/reliever next.

 

 

Cardinals get Wallace.
